Jeepin For Paws is bringing together Jeepers and animal lovers to assist in the needs of our furry friends.
aboutus
Our mission is to aid animals in need. To rehome the homeless. To be a voice for the voiceless. Our mission is simple yet profound. We aim to serve as a beacon of hope for these voiceless creatures, advocating for their rights, their well-being, and their dignity. Finding a forever home for these creatures is the ultimate goal of our mission. We believe that every animal deserves a loving, caring family, and we work diligently to make this dream a reality.
ourstory
In 2020 Jessie purchased her first Jeep. The Jeep community, or 'Jeepers' as they are affectionately known, was an unexpected bonus that came with owning her dream vehicle.
Jeepers are more than just a community; they are a tight-knit family that shares a mutual love for adventure and the great outdoors. But beyond that, they are a group of people who come out in a big way and support those in need in any way they can.
Jessie has always been a huge animal lover and a passionate advocate for rescue animals. She believed that every creature deserved a loving home, and she dedicated her time and resources to help animals in need. Her heart ached for the countless animals in shelters, waiting for their forever homes.
​
It was then that Jessie had an idea. Why not combine her two loves and create something truly remarkable? And thus, Jeepin For Paws was born. Jeepin For Paws is a foster-based organization that aims to find homes for animals in need. But they do more than just that. They support the community by providing essential services like microchipping and assistance with spay/neuters. They run a pet food pantry that provides pet food for low-income families, ensuring that they are not forced to surrender their beloved pets to overrun animal shelters.
