Cause for Paws
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Cause for Paws is starting the Hope in Hutchinson program to provide a safe and healthy environment for dogs and cats while their owners are in treatment for addiction.
Our pets love us unconditionally, even when we find it hard to love ourselves. It can seem impossible to leave our best friends behind while we get the help we need.
Until now, there hasn't been a solution locally for those seeking in-patient treatment or those transitioning from in-patient regarding the care of their pets.
In many cases, either they place them in an unhealthy environment or surrender them to a shelter. "Hope in Hutchinson" offers an alternative.We take care of your best friend while you take care of yourself.
We will celebrate your reunion with your pet alongside you.
Here is how it works. The pet parent will fill out an application with the pets' needs and preferences, vet information and emergency contact. The pet must be either spayed/neutered or the parent must agree to allow (Cause for Paws CFP) to have the pets spayed/neutered by a CFP approved veterinarian. CFP will provide veterinarian care including current vaccinations as needed.
If the pet parent does not return to resume custody of their pet, the pet will be considered surrendered to the Hutchinson Animal Shelter.The program is open to Hutchinson and South Hutchinson residents only.
Please share our program with anyone you think may need this service.
Please consider fostering or donating to support this much needed program. Go to www.causeforpawsinc.com and click on the "Hope in Hutchinson" link to fill out the brief "interest" form to either be a foster parent or find a foster for your pet.
