OUR STORY
I got tired of asking people to donate. So I started a business instead.
United for Paws began with years of helping stray animals — and a simple wish to find a more sustainable way to keep helping them.
HOW IT STARTED
It started long before United for Paws.
For years, helping stray dogs and cats simply became part of my everyday life.
If I saw one that was hungry, I would feed them. If one was injured, I would try to get them help. When treatment was needed, I would bring them to the vet whenever I could.
Some needed only food and a little care. Others needed weeks of treatment, medication and follow-up visits before they could recover.
I never really thought of it as something extraordinary. I just found it difficult to walk away when an animal clearly needed help.
THE REALITY OF RESCUE
The part of rescue people don't always see.
The bills.
Helping an animal often means veterinary consultations, hospital bills, medication, blood tests, follow-up treatment, food, transportation and recovery care.
Hospital Treatment
Medication
Blood Tests
Follow-Up Care
Food
Transportation
Recovery Care
Sometimes one rescue alone costs far more than expected. And while one animal is recovering, another may already be waiting for help.
THE TURNING POINT
I didn't want to keep asking people to donate.
I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped along the way. But rescue is ongoing, and I wanted to find a way to make that support more sustainable.
Instead of depending entirely on donations whenever another animal needed help, I started thinking about whether I could build something people would genuinely want — and use the business to help support the ongoing cost of rescue.
WHY United for Paws
That's how United for Paws began.
United for Paws brings together two things that mean a lot to me: creating beautiful pieces for pets, and continuing to help animals who do not yet have someone to care for them.
Every collar is designed to feel special — something that celebrates the pet already beside you.
At the same time, the business helps support the ongoing expenses involved in rescuing and caring for animals in need.
Beautiful pieces for the pets we love. A purpose beyond them.
THE NAMES BEHIND THE PIECES
Every Name Has a Story
Many United for Paws pieces are named after animals I have rescued or helped along the way.
Behind every name is a personality, a memory, and a reminder of why United for Paws exists.
Cola
( ADOPTED )
With everyone’s love and support, this little dog has finally made a full recovery. 🤍
Because I can’t afford to adopt any more dogs, I’m unable to keep him permanently. I’m now hoping to find him a truly safe, loving, and forever home.
If he has to return to the streets after being rescued, then perhaps our encounter would have lost its meaning.
His transformation is more than just a physical recovery. It is a beautiful reminder of what love and the strength of life can achieve. ❤️
He has shown us that kindness can create miracles — and that even broken places can slowly heal and become whole again.
I truly believe that the family who adopts him will be blessed in return. May your days be peaceful, your home filled with warmth, and your life filled with happiness and ease. ✨
All he needs now is a family to call his own.
Cleo
After two months, he’s finally fully recovered and adopted by a loving couple.
When I brought him home that night, his condition was so bad that I couldn’t even bring myself to take photos. 💔
The worst injuries were around his head and ears. His fur was completely matted into the wounds with pus, and there was an extremely strong smell. After carefully cleaning him, I discovered that one ear is missing a piece, while the other is covered in wounds.
What breaks my heart most is how gentle he is. While I was cleaning his wounds, his back legs were trembling from the pain, yet he never cried, fought, or tried to run away. 🥺
And despite everything he has been through, he still has the most beautiful eyes. 🤍 I truly believe that once he recovers, he’ll become such a handsome little boy.
Sashimi
He was bitten , hurt and alone 20 days later , look at him now
I found this stray after he had been badly bitten and injured. When I first saw him, he was scared, weak, and clearly in a lot of pain.
So I brought him to the vet and started his treatment. The next few weeks were filled with medication, wound cleaning, check-ups, and a lot of patience.
Day by day, his wound started to heal.He became more comfortable and more active.
After 20 days of treatment, he finally recovered. Seeing him healthy again made every vet visit, every treatment, and every moment of worry completely worth it.
Ninja
( Adopted )
The rescued puppy has been named Ninja. He is currently receiving treatment at the vet and is being well cared for. 🤍
His weight has increased from 4.5 kg when he was rescued to over 5.5 kg now! 🥹
Once he is discharged, Ninja will be adopted by a volunteer we know, and his new home is already prepared and waiting for him. ❤️
From being rescued to having a loving home waiting for him — we’re so happy to see Ninja getting better. 🤍
Oreo
He was once a victim of cruelty. Now, he is a loved member of my family.
He was brutally abused by a group of students, leaving him without both front paws and one ear. 💔
When I rescued him, he was barely holding on. I didn’t know if he would survive, but he fought so hard. 🤍
After he recovered, I decided to adopt him myself. With his special needs, I couldn’t bear the thought of letting him go.
Today, he is healthy, happy, and living peacefully with my other rescued cats. 🐱
He may have lost his paws and an ear, but he never lost his will to live. And I’m so grateful I could give him the safe, loving home he deserved. 🥹❤️🩹
