A Hand For A Paw

These guys are great. They do monthly low cost pet vaccinations with their RV at various locations. I bring my wiener dog to get her shots whenever needed. A lot less than paying your vet for the same shots. Plus they run a pet food pantry, so low income folks can afford to keep their pets. Please support them in any way you can.

Since co-​founding A Hand For A Paw in 2008, I have proudly watched this organization grow into an innovative and proactive staple in the Bridgeport community. My experiences as the Ex-​Chief Animal Control Officer for the City of Bridgeport was my motivation in creating AHFAP. I knew that pet owners needed a safe haven. AHFAP became that place. We do not judge ignorance, we teach. We do not point fingers, we lend a hand. This is what our organization is built on. Punishing, and taking animals away is not always an answer. Working with people might be MORE WORK but you WILL GET better results. Offering the resources and educating the pet families in need potentially will keep their pets at home! The last thing we should want is to see pets get pulled away from their parents and then end up in a shelter for god knows how long or end up in a never ending foster to foster to foster situation. I understand their are many people that should not have animals… I am not talking about these people. We direct our assistance to those down on their luck or in need of some temporary help. It works and we have proven it! :)
