Dire Straits Paws Rescue Team has a mission to save domestic animals and give them a chance for health, love, and a new life. The rescue team's focus is on saving animals in kill shelters scheduled to be euthanized. We foster the animals in our own homes and travel all along the east coast to find placement for the animals, out of our own pockets. Dire Straits Paws fosters and takes care of all dogs/cats (including boarding, food, vet, vaccinations, etc.) while actively looking for permanent placement. Please help support our cause, and save the lives of our animals. God Bless You. Please note: We are in high demand of fosters to get all types of animals out the shelter into a loving forever home. Let us know if you are interested in volunteering and help the cause. 501(c)3 Registration and Approval Information Our incorporation tax ID is 83-3405958 Our IRS tax exemption ID is 6833571 We qualify for Public Charity status under IRS code 170 (b) (1) (A)
