ODIE'S FUND FOR HARD TO PLACE ANIMALS

We created a fund in honor of Odie, a dog who was adoptable for over 11 years before finding his forever family. When we first met Odie, we made an oath to help him find the right adopter. We raised funds to send him to a leading veterinary behaviorist, and within weeks, he was adopted into the best life possible. This fund helps other hard-to-place animals like Odie get one step closer to finding a loving family — by funding physical, behavior, and medical treatments. When you donate to Odie’s Fund, please include a comment letting us know you’d like your donation to go to this fund.

People who have adopted hard-to-place animals share their heart-warming experiences.
And our partnered shelters and rescues across the country talk about what Core Paws means to them.


“I love Core Paws and its mission. It is not only a worthy cause, they also create results. I work with a local rescue and Core Paws helped us increase visibility for our hard-to-place pets and cheered us on in our quest to get them adopted. I am so grateful!”

- Ute Luppertz, Co-Founder, Delicious Mickey Grrrl Rescue

“Thank you so much for helping me adopt Odie. We also thank you for starting Odie's Fund for Hard-To-Place Animals. I hope everyone will open their hearts and homes to a hard-to-place dog, their reward will be great! ”

- Sharon, Adopted Odie, who had waited 11 years in a shelter

“The people of Core Paws are the real deal! They are caring, compassionate and truly devoted to the cause. We are so grateful to have found them and are honored to work with them.”

- Avarie Shevin, Director of Operations, Stray Cat Alliance

“First and foremost, these animals just want love. They are most grateful and willing to please. You need to have patience upon first meeting them. If they are shy or fearful, they may not be friendly at first. You adopt these dogs because you want to provide a home for them they’ve never had before.”

- Kristi, Adopted Donna & Delia, who had waited 7 years in a rescue

“Animal rescue is tough and the service Core Paws provides is invaluable. Thank you for being so passionate, enthusiastic and dedicated to helping these sweet animals that need extra help finding their forever homes.”

- Tanya Phillips, Cat Rescue Adoption Network

“Core Paws is amazing in helping to get the word out about hard to place animals. Without their help, it would be much harder to find forever homes for our animals.”

- Laura Dash, Founder, Adopt Me Rescue

“We needed help finding homes for our special kitties. We became partners with Core Paws and cannot begin to say thank you enough for helping our babies have a chance at a life of love. Thank you Core Paws for your huge part in our successful home hunts!”

- Marilyn Hall, Co-Founder, Cat's Cradle Rescue
