Twenty Paws Rescue

I was so impressed with how thorough and helpful Twenty Paws Rescue was from the moment I spoke with them (almost 7 years ago) and still to this day! They were patient and helped me figure out what pup was best for me and made sure I was the right fit for him. Finding the right home for Jax was their first priority and I can’t imagine my life without my best friend! Literally the best and most profound experience.. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Twenty Paws! Jax is the love of my life and I will forever be so grateful to our friends at Twenty Paws! ❤️������

I fostered and ultimately adopted my dog through this amazing organization. They are organized, effective, and more than anything, deeply committed to their cause. The efforts they make to give rescue dogs a second chance is unparalleled. Highly recommend!

We have adopted several dogs through TPR, it is always nothing but a great experience. Rachel has a heart of gold and truly cares about each dog she places.

Twenty Paw Rescue saved my Piggy's life, when she was left to die in the heat of summer 2016. This dog brought so much joy into my life and the lives of so many who she met on her way and Piggy loves almost everyone she meets. Eventhough Piggy, who's cancer survivor, still fighting so many health issues, due to the life of abuse prior to her rescue Piggy's immune system was damaged, her life is worth fighting for.
Twenty Paw Rescue saves lives of so many defenseless, abused dogs, providing medical care and training, taking care of their needs until they are adopted. Every dog's life is so worth fighting for.
Rachel, the director of TPR, is always easy to contact with any of my concerns and is very supportive throughout .
Thanks TPR for bringing this precious dog into my life ❤️

We adopted our Finn about 2 1/2 years ago. Twenty Paws Rescue works endlessly to save these dogs and find them forever homes. They were a pleasure to work with and their love shows through their work. Our family is forever thankful for the opportunity and bringing our Finn to us.

OMG Twenty Paws Rescue is an amazing organization! I recently rescued this guy from their organization. They were great to work with, and they truly care about every pet they rescue. God Bless all of their volunteers that help save these babies.

When my dog chelsea was found scavenging for food on the streets of NYC, she was emaciated and sick. She had just had puppies who were nowhere to be found and she was lactating and uncomfortable. The woman who found her knee if she’d gone to a city shelter she would have been put down immediately. She found Twenty Paws Rescue, who put out the search for a foster. She was sick and she was suffering but they saw the light in her eyes and her sweet disposition. I saw the call for help for Chelsea and stepped in to foster. 12 years later, she’s still with us and she’s the queen of the castle. TPR was so supportive along the way and provided resources and helped us as first time fosters. Over the years I’ve followed how many lives they’ve saved and the dedication they have to their mission. I always recommend TPR to anyone looking for fosters or adoptions, and I will never go anywhere else. :)

Twenty Paws connected my family to Murphy, our boxer/lab mix. Our lives have never been the same! He is a perfect fit for our family and everyone connected to Twenty Paws was amazing to work with! They walked us through every step of our adoption and even came with me to the pick up! I can’t tell you how highly I recommend this organization and how grateful we are to have the last piece to complete our family!

We adopted Peg, now Piper, from Twenty Paws in May of 2021. They were very thorough in vetting us which shows how much they care about finding the right family for each dog. We originally were interested in a different dog but after talking with Wendy she felt “Peg” would be a better fit for our family. She was right! We drove 5+ hrs. to get our sweet girl and fell in love instantly. Wendy made the whole process easy for us and still keeps in touch to check in. So happy that we chose Twenty Paws.

When I was looking to add a dog to my home, I knew it was important to find a dog that needed saving. I found my boy Benji via Facebook and applied to adopt him right away. I was so impressed with how thorough the adoption process was - Twenty Paws did a virtual home tour, interviewed two associates and my vets and conducted in-depth interviews with me to make sure I was matched with the right dog. I made the five hour drive to adopt Benji and we’ve been best friends ever since. Benji had a tough history and my life is more fulfilled knowing I’m giving him the life he deserves after a tough start. None of this would be possible without Twenty Paws Rescue. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and I know they have made a difference for thousands of people and animals alike.

I adopted my dogs, Chester and Chelsea from Twenty Paws in 2019. This rescue truly cares and loves all animals. I also adopted Holly from South Korea, but due to circumstances and interactions within the home, Holly did need to go to a foster. Twenty Paws worked diligently with me to find a caring foster, and Holly is thriving. After losing my husband last year, I don’t know where I would be without C&C…and I am so grateful to Twenty Paws for letting me adopt them! They bring joy to my life every day ♥️

I adopted my Nina (shih tzu) from Twenty Paws this past December 2017. They were a pleasure to work with. I know they checked my references thoroughly, answered all of my questions directly and honestly, and Rachel Elizabeth was just a pleasure to deal with when she visited for the home inspection (and punctual!). She was very sweet to my other shih tzu, Billy, as well. Twenty Paws truly loves animals, seeks to get the best fit for pet and human, and their people skills are nothing to sneeze at either. They are very considerate and kind.

TPR reached our pup euthanasia 4 years before we found her. They knew she was special and amazing and they committed to saving her even though it was difficult to find her a home. As much as I wish our girl had been in a home all this time, she has been my best friend for the last 2 years and she completes our little family and I feel so blessed that she is our dog.

We got our dog two years ago and we highly recommend Twenty Paws Rescue. They treat the animals and the humans with great respect. One thing we also really appreciated was their good and fast communication. They really make sure our little friends get to their right new owners and have a good life there.

I adopted my little terror Melfina from them. They really care to check that the homes the dogs up for adoption are good for the dog.

They care about the animals and I hope to adopt from them again one day.

I’m so thankful that I stumbled upon TPR almost one year ago. The TPR crew is so helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about all of their rescues.

My fiancé & I adopted our first babe, Damien in October 2017. The adoption process was so smooth that we adopted another pup, Noam in July 2018. Again, Rachel went above and beyond to assist with the transition as well as assimilating Noam into our family.

Damien & Noam bring so much love and happiness into our home. Thank you so very much, TPR!!

Thank you Twenty Paws, for giving us our dear Albert and making our family complete.

Our rescue dog from Twenty Paws saved us as much as we saved her. Working with Twenty Paws was seamless and exciting. They went through a long process to ensure that we were the right adoptive parents including a phone interview and home visit. It felt very professional and assured me that these animals were truly cared for. We are also grateful to the foster family that took care of our dog before we found her. Our rescue dog and experience with Twenty Paws was amazing.

Twenty Paws Rescue is an amazing nonprofit that connects pups with their forever homes. If it weren’t for TPR we would have our sweet and adorable Taylor. TPR met with us and our 6 year old Chihuahua Connor and matched us up with her. We love her so much and can’t imagine a life without her.

We adopted Bluie from Twenty Paws back in 2014. We love how they have maintained contact to this day, and have created a community of adopter families who we continue to look to as resources.

I saw a cute pup on the internet and fell in love. I had no idea how thorough they would be which was fine since i knew I was a good home and respected their concern. I got to pick my boy up at foster care a few weeks later. TPR checked up with me to see how we were adjusting. They were there for me when I had questions. The rest is history. We just passed our 5th gotcha day.

Twenty Paws is made up of a binh of angels! Their tireless work brought me my Marley, rescued with two brother and his mother from a puppy mill in OH, Marley is now in his forever home! We would have never known that this sweet soul was out there, needing us, and we needing him, to complete our family!

Wonderful experience both working with adopting my dog and working with my business. They truly consider the whole family dynamic to ensure the pups and people are a perfect match.

I've added two wonderful dogs to my family through Twenty Paws Rescue. I for one can say that Twenty Paws is an amazing rescue. They not only save many lives they make sure they will never need again......the dogs are priority.....as a rescue should be. They are awesome!

Twenty Paws Rescue is an amazing rescue! Linda and Rachel work tirelessly to rescue as many animals as they can and provide adopters with any help and advice that they can offer, all while holding down full time jobs. The volunteers and fosters are also fantastic individuals. We adopted our dog, Caramel (now Cassie) from them last November, and we couldn't be happier to have found our perfect dog! We had such a positive experience, not only with Rachel and Linda, but also with Linette, who did our home inspection, and Annie, our dog's foster mom. They were both so kind and caring and more than happy to take the time to answer all of my many, many questions about Cassie and what to expect. I also really appreciated how thorough Twenty Paws was with us, since it was clearly evident that they care deeply about the well-being of all of the animals in their care and are determined to find the perfect home for each one. I always recommend them to anyone interested in adopting. Thank you, Twenty Paws!

We adopted Wilma, Pebbles, and BamBam from Twenty Paws Rescue. TPR is a wonderful rescue organization. Rachel and Linda are very dedicated to their cause and do everything they can to make sure everyone finds the perfect home. I can't say enough about them and the work they do. They are angels to lost souls and saviors to so many!

I rescued my fur baby through Twenty Paws Rescue. When I first went to meet my pup it was only intended to be a meet and greet and so I wasn’t totally prepared to bring a dog home. When everyone realized that this girl was definitely my dog, I was taken right to the pet store with my pup to pick up all the essentials and then dropped at home. I can’t thank Twenty Paws enough for bringing me and my baby together!

Twenty Paws Rescue is made up of the most dedicated and caring people who share one single mission and that is to save lives. Our precious dog Kiwi is one of the lives that was changed forever due to their relentless and unwavering efforts. One day Twenty Paws Rescue received a request from a family who already adopted a dog from them. The request was to save the life of a dog who was mistreated and then thrown into a kill shelter because the owners had no more profitable use of her. Without hesitation, Twenty Paws Rescue rushed to Harlem, NYC to save Kiwi from being destroyed. Once saved, Kiwi was put into the most loving foster family where she gradually healed physically and emotionally. Several months later, our family was in search of a rescue dog who would be the ‘right’ fit. One of the founders of Twenty Paws Rescue heard about the type of dog we were looking for and matched us with Kiwi. They shared information and answered all of our questions about Kiwi in order for our family to make the decision that she was the right match. As we went through the adoption process, we got to know all of the amazing people behind Twenty Paws Rescue. We were so impressed with their ongoing support, level of commitment and passion for saving lives that when our very good friend wanted to adopt a rescue, we were more than comfortable pointing them to Twenty Paws Rescue. Now we are both extremely thrilled with our new addition to our family. Thank you Twenty Paws Rescue for making this world a better place one life at a time! Chad, Linette & Kiwi

We fostered then adopted our two pups from Twenty Paws. The dogs are such an incredible addition to our family and bring us so much joy. Linda and Rachel work full time and manage to find time rescue dogs from many places, from shelters to the streets. They are committed to getting dogs in loving homes, where they belong! I never thought I would own Am Staffs, but here we are with two and could not love them more!

I am truly blessed to meet and and support the Twenty Paws Rescue ( Linda & Rachel) !!! I adopted my little girl Bella Mia and then ended up adopting my "Foster Fail" Foxy-Brown - aka Margarita. Words cannot express the big hearts and passion this rescue group have. They both walked me through the process and supported me and my girls along the way by being available to provide me helpful information.I am utterly grateful to be part of the Twenty Paws Family, and have seen with my own eyes the dedication and difference this organization makes. Passion + Love is what makes the organization

This is Kenna a Twenty Paws Rescue. We had a great experience adopting Kenna. The price for Kenna was the average price, we have 3 other rescues. Linda and Rachel were awesome throughout the process. Kenna is our only female and we have had a dominance issue recently with her. Linda and Rachel have helped us get through this, they have spoken to me at length several times and checked in to see how things were going every step of the way! I am so thankful I had them at my side when I needed them and I'm so thankful we can keep our girl!!!!

I adopted my best friend, Vega, from Twenty Paws Rescue two years ago, just before Vega's first birthday. She was a timid little lady and it took lots of patience and training for her to become a comfy, happy dog. Twenty Paws has been there to answer all my (exhaustive) questions, provide support and check-in on how we're all doing. I absolutely love that Twenty Paws has an adopter Facebook group where all the adopter families can share their pics, questions, recommendations etc.

This rescue is near and dear to my heart. They introduced me to my best friend Cocoa! They are extremely supportive and always provide assistance. They go above and beyond to help all dogs/cats in need. Their adoption process is thorough and they ensure that every animal will end up in a home that is suited for their individual needs.

I love volunteering with twenty paws rescue! I have fostered about 15 dogs with twenty paws rescue- many of which were pulled a second from euthanasia. Rachel and Linda go above and beyond for their dogs, volunteers, and adopters. If there is an issue they are there to support you and guide you in a blink of an eye. I can't believe these girls work well over 40 hours a week at their full time careers and continue to run this rescue impeccably. All of my foster dogs have amazing homes due to their thorough process.

I adopted a dog over 2 years ago. They came did a home inspection. Gave me some tips about how to take care of a pit bull. They were very helpful. A year after I adopted my dog she got into a little trouble with another dog (all ended up fine). I was very upset and I sent Linda a message. She called me right back and helped me through this frightening time. I would highly recommend Twenty Paws Rescue.
