Our Impact
People Helping Paws Dog Rescue began in 2010 with a simple mission: help people keep and care for their pets during difficult times. What started as a small pet food pantry in Jefferson City, MO quickly grew into something more—offering support, resources, and hope to pet owners in need.
By 2012, that mission expanded into full rescue efforts. Today, we save at-risk dogs from overcrowded shelters and unsafe situations, focusing on pit bulls and bully breeds across Jefferson City, Columbia, St. Louis, and surrounding areas.
Through a dedicated foster network, we provide medical care, rehabilitation, and a safe, loving environment for every dog we take in. Each one is given the time and compassion they need to heal and find a forever home.
Since our founding, we’ve saved over a thousand lives—and with your support, we’re just getting started.
