They require extra time to find a home compatible with their needs. The cost of this extra care, rehabilitation, or extended stays is often more than our budget allows. These animals deserve a second chance.&nbsp;The Guardian Angel program provides a way for you to contribute to the care and support of&nbsp;long term&nbsp;cats and dogs and to form a personal bond with our shelter animals. For just $10 a month, you can sponsor one of the many animals at our shelter. You will receive periodic&nbsp;pictures and information about your special animal. A new animal will be assigned to you when the one you are currently sponsoring is adopted.&nbsp;To join the Guardian Angel program, please fill out the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/guardian_angel.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guardian Angel Enrollment Form<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/guardian_angel.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" target=\"_blank\">.<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Please specify \u201c<strong>Guardian Angel<\/strong>\u201d on the memo line of your check or donate online through the button below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemn.org\/story\/Guardian-Angel-Program-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/donatebutton.jpg\" alt=\"donate to gaurdian angel fund\" class=\"wp-image-5897\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-18a4fc72\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>General Fund<\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"uagb-separator\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/vetroom-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8748\" style=\"width:368px;height:244px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/vetroom-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/vetroom-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/vetroom-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/vetroom.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Dedicated Veterinarian Exam Room<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Money from the general fund goes towards everything from food and medical care for the animals, to paying for utilities, supplies, and staff salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Please specify \u201c<strong>General Fund<\/strong>\u201d on the memo line of your check or donate online through the button below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemn.org\/donate\/Paws-And-Claws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawsandclaws.org\/wpweb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/donatebutton.jpg\" alt=\"paws and claws general fund\" class=\"wp-image-5897\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can make monetary donations by check or online.
