Tiny Paws is a rescue of special needs cats and dogs under 20 lbs. We are unable to take any cats at this time but have an opening for a small dog.
The Animals of Tiny Paws
Our animals are not available for adoption.
 DollyDolly is unable to walk on her back legs. She scoots to get around, but we hope that a surgery will give her some ability to walk. First, she must lose 5lbs before getting the surgery. |  MiracleMiracle lost her right eye as a kitten. She can see well from her left eye and functions well. |  OliverOliver is completely blind in his left eye and partially blind in the right. He functions very well with him disability |

 YodiYodi originally came to TP from a rescue in Kentucky to train to be an emotional support dog. However, he came with unexpected problems. He is a fear biter and can be very possessive of his human. We are working with him, but even if he doesn't become an ESD, he will always have a home with us. |  TigerTiger has a history of inflammatory bowel that gives her frequent diarrhea. She is also about the size of a six month old kitten, but is healthy otherwise. |  IanIan was found in our garage as a kitten. He has no special needs |

 SonomaSonoma came with her baby Kiwi. She has absolutely no teeth, but the vet doesn't feel she is that old. |  ElsieElsie is deaf, asthmatic and has an enlarged heart. Because of her medical conditions, she has remained the size of a 6-8 month old kitten. The doctors believe that Elsie has a nasal cancer. The prednisolone she takes for her asthma is the treatment for the cancer. She has already out lived the lifespan predictions of her vets. |  BearBear was one of 23 dogs rescued from a hoarder. The dogs were in horrid condition and covered in urine, feces, and fleas. Not only did all the animals have respiratory problems but skin infections, allergies and hair loss. He has some behavioral problems as a result of his experience. He was recently diagnosed with canine cognitive dysfunction or dementia. He is on medication to help with that condition. |
 CloverClover came to us with a ruptured eye. Thankfully his eye healed and didn't have to be removed. He did lose some vision but doesn't let that stop him. |  RiverI found River all alone at only 4 weeks of age in downtown Kingsport. She is growing slowly, but the healthier she gets, the faster she grows. |  JosieJosie is the one non-special needs animal I have adopted. She is being trained to take over as my emotional support dog after Chico passes. |

Chloe has been grieving deeply and needs patience and love to help her adjust to her new life. She is on 2 medications to help her with her anxiety. |

She was an aggressive fear biter, so she remained at our sanctuary instead of going to rescue in PA. |  TeddyTeddy was abandoned by his previous owner and left completely heartbroken. Over time, he gained the confidence to become the leader of the pack. He leads the pack in a daily howl which brings peace to them all. |  BrodyBrody was found as a stray. He was terrified of hands and always expected to be punished. Getting him to eat was a chore that took patience and experimentation. After living with the pack, he learned to eat well and regularly.

She was recently treated for a severe upper respiratory infection that required confinement and medication. |  MaiseyMaisey has a permanent head tilt and was very ill when first dropped of at our vet. Even thought she is only about a year old, she was in liver failure. Thankfully, she recovered.
