Foster a pet or donate — help us give Yuma County pets a second chance
The Silver Paws Project
The Silver Paws Project pairs senior pets with senior people who understand a quieter kind of love. Older animals still have so much companionship to give, and they deserve to be seen, not left waiting. Errol Flynn, our distinguished black cat with that unforgettable face, is the heart of this program. We also help homebound seniors and people who do not drive, with fosters helping them find the right pet. Errol Flynn found his forever home.
A Face Full of Character
Senior pets have the kind of presence that stays with you long after the first look. Errol Flynn’s expressive face and steady spirit show why older animals should never be overlooked. They wait longer for a home, even though they already know how to love with their whole hearts if someone will just care.
Hearts That Understand
Silver Paws matches senior pets with senior adopters who want companionship without the rush of a young animal. Some of the best homes are quiet ones, where a person and a pet can simply be there for each other. That shared, calmer pace is what makes these matches so lasting and so full of love.
A Softer Path Home
We help seniors who want a pet but may need extra support getting there, from introductions to paperwork and a gentler meet-and-greet. Silver Paws is about dignity for older pets and comfort for the people who welcome them. If you are looking for a loyal companion, or know a senior who is, we would love to hear from you.
