We're Hope Paws Support Fund — a brand new, 100% volunteer-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit right here in Lake Forest (founded Feb 2026).We started because too many dogs are at risk and too many families say goodbye. We can't look away. We can't do this alone.
What we do & our 2026 goal
Emergency vet care for 12 dogs — keep families together
Fund rescues to pull 24 dogs from high-risk shelters
