How We Help
Paws for Life Utah is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization dedicated to helping homeless dogs, cats and other “at risk” animals from municipal shelters find forever homes.

We spay and neuter, immunize microchip and provide medical care for every pet that enters our program. We work in partnership with several veterinary clinics to provide these services for our rescued pets.

Community Education And Training
We engage in community partnerships with local law enforcement, municipal shelters and with educational institutions in bringing awareness to the needs for pets in shelters. From obedience training for adopted dogs to assisting the public in Trap Neuter release for feral cats, we work together to find solutions to reduce the number of homeless pets in our community.
