Helping pets can help people reach safety
Nuzzles & Co rescues and rehomes dogs and cats in Utah, while also working to keep animals connected to their existing families. Purple Paw addresses a particular obstacle: someone experiencing domestic abuse may be unable to take a pet into safe accommodation. Temporary animal care gives that person a way to seek refuge without leaving the pet’s needs unresolved.
A personal story prompted Purple Paw
The programme began in 2012 after longtime donor Emily Scott described a friend who could not leave an abusive relationship because she feared for her pet. Shelters she contacted would not hold the animal while she sought safety. Scott’s initial funding helped Nuzzles & Co establish a programme designed around this gap in support.
Temporary care includes more than boarding
Purple Paw provides housing, veterinary care and training without charge within the programme. Staff and volunteers also support animals that have experienced physical or emotional harm. The organisation works with domestic-violence shelters, law enforcement, social workers, therapists and other agencies, connecting animal care with the people already helping a survivor find a safer living situation.
Affordable treatment supports other families too
The community clinic at the adoption centre offers services including sterilisation, vaccinations and basic dentistry. This work addresses another reason families can struggle to keep a pet: the cost of care. A separate community-cat service is intended for unsocialised outdoor cats returning to their colonies or previous habitat, with its own preparation and admission requirements.
Use the route for the help you need
Purple Paw and routine clinic appointments serve different needs. Contact the organisation about programme access rather than assuming immediate placement. For the clinic, surgery and dental bookings use the online system, while wellness and vaccination enquiries go to the clinic team. Current eligibility, availability and costs belong to those official arrangements, separate from an application to adopt an animal. Official programme information · AnimalProtech map.
