Recycled Paws is a small Animal Rescue located in Lexington, North Carolina dedicated to finding loving permanent homes for dogs and cats. We are working on our non-profit status. We are a volunteer group of people who are willing to open their homes, yards, arms and lives to unwanted dogs and cats. We vaccinate and worm all dogs and cats and get medical treatment, spay, neuter and work with socializing the animals.

    We so often find the dogs give us back far more than we give them. Each furry face brings his own personality and needs which we help to match with the right person or family. Lengthy adoption applications are sent to each person seriously inquiring about a specific animal which begins the adoption process. Davidson and surrounding counties have a large dog and cat over-population problem for various reasons and we in rescue see many abused, neglected, starving, sick, unwanted, too many pregnant and stray dogs. Phone calls are received almost daily from people having a dog they need help in placing or don't want.

    There are never enough foster homes for all the dogs needing a place. We, in rescue, are all striving to decrease the dog population in whatever way we can. The reason for asking adoption donations is there is a great deal of cost pertaining to dog rescue work in many different areas. All adoption fees go back into our rescue for the medical treatment and feed costs associated with the animals. When adopting from Recycled Paws, you will be given a guarantee that at anytime in the future you decide you do not want the animal we will take the animal back.

    Our goal is a win-win for the dog and person adopting. All animals are either spayed or neutered or the adoptor will sign an adoption contract agreeing to have that procedure done within 30 days of the adoption or by 6 months of age.
