Florida Doggie Paws Rescue is an all volunteer, foster based 501 (c) 3 Organization. All donations are Tax Deductible.FDPR is a grass-roots rescue formed by 7 people with one common goal…to save the dogs. Our mission is to responsibly rescue, spay/neuter, rehabilitate, foster and find permanent loving homes for unwanted, abandoned and abused small to medium breed dogs in our community and throughout the State of Florida.

We need more fosters and volunteers to accomplish that mission. Please fill out a volunteer application and open your heart and your home to one of these poor dogs that just needs a place to stay for a few weeks until we can find their forever home. The reward of knowing that you saved that life is immense.
