About this shelter

Twenty Paws Rescue in Brooklyn, NY

Twenty Paws Rescue was founded by Linda and Rachel, who share a common mission and passion for helping animals. Each day, they confront the ongoing crisis of homeless, abused, and surrendered animals. As a small rescue organization, Twenty Paws relies on an exceptional and dedicated team of volunteers, fosters, donors, and adopters to realize their ambitious goals. The Twenty Paws team works tirelessly, providing loving and attentive care to all animals in their care until they are placed in permanent homes, including offering foster and veterinary services. While Twenty Paws primarily focuses on "bully" breeds, it is not limited to any specific breed. The organization welcomes dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, sexes, and temperaments, offering refuge and unconditional love. Linda and Rachel are committed to finding the best matches for animals and families, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for all. Their determination drives them to advocate for these animals every moment, and they will continue their efforts until every shelter cage is empty. Twenty Paws Rescue is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization, and all donations and contributions are tax-deductible.
