SAN ANTONIO-- Two young San Antonio women have taken on the huge task of rescuing animals they refer to on death row.  Mandy Hall and Sherry Pfau have taken on the heartbreaking challenge of doing whatever they can to save the animals that only have hours or minutes before they will be euthanized at Animal Care Services.  They formed the rescue group Paws N Claws to save the animals and find foster homes to eventually be adopted. 

Mandy Hall said, “We just realized that there were so many animals dying each day and we figured there was something we could do to give back.”

They work till they find foster homes for all the rescued pets but as a non profit have to rely on sponsors and donors. 

Sherry Pfau, “We have to pick which one we can take who we have and right now we are low on fosters and definitely need fosters.”

If you would like to help them foster a pet or donate to the group go to www.pawsnclawsrescuesatx.com.

i commend these ladies and ALL the people at organizations around town that try and do what they can to help these poor animals. sadly, this town is comprised of idiots who shouldn't own a pet or have children. takes a real piece of work to treat an animal like crap...i pray karma haunts every last one of them

Wish we had more people like these ladies around here. Still, the basic Problems still exist.. Irresponsible "pet owners" & Enablers of the out of control cat over-population Problem, who Cause the Stray Animal Problems.. which then leads to animal abuse. While the City Services are Very Inadequate! Never before seen so many Strays, just in my neighborhood alone.. Including neighbors who Disown their family dogs, and People who have Allowed cats to breed Indiscriminately in their yards For Decades..while barely feeding them, Etc. I can only adopt, and do so much for them on my own. Those Heartless, enabling Jerks, and those who Abandon their own pets, Etc.. They Make Me Sick!

Thank you so much everyone for the kind words! The story will air today at 5 after the weather. The thing we need most besides sponsors and donations is fosters! If you've ever thought about opening your home to an animal temporarily please go to our website and contact us! We have a great foster program and a great sponsorship/advertising program! -Sherry AKA "Claws" :)

Two angels. This is the example of being part of the solution not the problem. I am asking my employees to please consider this organization for their contributions. Sparing the life of something that gives unconditional love is always a worthy community cause, God Bless.
