Paws and Prayers Rescue Blog

Paws & Prayers June Volunteer of the Month is Donna S. Donna has been with Paws and Prayers for around a year. She has made a big impact in a short time. Donna has fostered dogs, puppies and kittens. We think she is most famous for finding Snow White her Prince Charming. Fostering animals in your home when you have animals is not always easy, but Donna sure makes it look that way. She has been our go to women when we attend Akron Aero's games and sell Diamond Balls. She has really rocked that scene for sure. We have had 4 and she has been to each one.  Donna is a wonderful asset to P&P. She is always on email waiting to see how she can help next. Anytime anyone asks for a pick up/drop off down she will help if she is available. She isn't afraid to go to the pound to pull dogs that need love. She has even been known to bring her granddaughter to help. Donna is always willing to share her personal property (i.e. chairs, tents, etc.). We have truly enjoyed the time she has been with us and look forward to many more experiences with her. Donna, from all the puppies, kittens, cats and dogs (and us humans) we thank you for your love, support and dedication to Paws and Prayers.

Hello.  I'm Hanna.  As my foster dad, Beagle Bob says, like many aging humans in this world, I was ignored for being a little gray face in the pound.  And he says I didn't really help matters by being so scared to death and not wanting to be touched.

But he believed in me, took me into his foster home and sees the loving, happy and loyal companion I truly am.  When I feel safe and in loving care, I respond with kisses and constant companionship.  I'm told that when I smother someone with kisses it's very much as though I was a squealing excited child greeting their Mom or Dad home.

I'm a pretty easy going gal.  My typical day is sleep, eat/snack, nap, walk/go outside, and then repeat!  Those are my absolute favorite activities.  When I go for a walk I'm able to walk with my tail and head held high, almost like I would be whistling with pride.  But if I see another dog, especially if they make eye contact, I turn on my inner diva and let them know "Stay away from me; I'm not here for you to stare at!"

When I'm not sleeping you might just find me chewing on a bone.  But that's about it for my interest in toys.  I do know some tricks and commands.  I can sit pretty, shake (with either paw) and I can speak.

All in all, I truly just need the presence of a human to make my life complete. In return, you will have an amazing friend that will make your life happier.
