Phases of Our Campaign

Total Projected Cost: $5,500,000

Phase 1 (completed August 2025): Purchase of 20-acre farm property.
Cost: $1,425,000

Phase 2 (ongoing): Renovation of farm property. Architecture and design services were donated.

Phase 3: Humane Education and Youth Programming, and Small Farm Animal Sanctuary

Phase 4: Long-Term Sustainability. Comprehensive Goals and Endowment. 

Sweet Paws Rescue is committed to financial transparency. We operate on a model of fiscal prudence and sustainability. 

This campaign will finance the purchase and renovation of the farm without accruing debt. Remaining debt-free allows us to continue to devote our financial resources to our day-to-day work of saving and caring for animals. 

“With every cat we adopted, we realized Sweet Paws Rescue didn’t just give us our pets; they gave us our family. In the end, we rescued each other.”
