WHO WE ARE

THE POMPAWS 
MISSION

PomPaws Fosters is a community-focused nonprofit dedicated to closing the gap between what rescue groups need and what they can afford. Based in Houston, Texas, we support animal welfare efforts by creating a structured foster network, providing supplies and guidance to fosters, and hosting events and educational workshops. We also help network foster animals on social media and at events to increase visibility and adoption opportunities. By reducing financial and logistical barriers for both fosters and rescues, we aim to improve foster retention and animal welfare outcomes across our community. Our vision is to build a more sustainable and collaborative rescue culture—where no animal is overlooked due to cost, and every foster has the tools and support they need.

 

 

PomPaws Fosters supports rescue organizations and foster caregivers by building a foster support network that provides education, mentorship, resources, and collaborative partnerships to help more rescue animals safely transition through foster care.

My Story

Over the past year, she has dedicated herself to fostering and partnering with rescues to find foster homes for over 120 dogs & cats, transforming countless lives in the process. Her commitment to animal welfare shines through in every aspect of PomPaws, as she tirelessly advocates for those in need.

Hi, I’m Leslie! 🐾 I’m the founder of PomPaws Fosters, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening rescues by supporting the humans behind them—fosters.

  • ✨ Offering emergency foster placements when rescues are at capacity.

  • ✨ Fundraising to provide fosters with food, supplies, and essentials so rescues can focus their funds on medical care.

  • ✨ Hosting adoption and fundraising events to increase rescue visibility and support their animals.

  • ✨ Networking foster animals to maximize adoption opportunities.

  • ✨ Creating workshops to train and support new fosters.

I know how challenging it is for rescues to stretch their resources, so my mission is to fill in the gaps—ensuring fosters have the support they need while helping rescues continue their life-saving work.  Your support on Ko-fi helps provide:

  • Food, supplies, and medical care for my foster animals.

  • Resources to grow my foster haven and expand rescue support.

  • Startup costs to officially launch my nonprofit.

 

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference! Thank you for being part of this mission. 💕🐾
