A Cause for Paws President Antonio (Tony)
Raimondo has been rescuing animals for many years.
Twelve years ago Tony began to notice a large number of strays in and around
the buildings he owns and manages in the Bronx. He was moved to take them
in and provide them with veterinary care until he found them permanent homes.
Four years ago he and co-founder Lydia DesRoche began actively increasing
their outreach to the animals. They gradually put in more of their time and
money.
In June 2000 they formed A Cause for Paws and were granted 501(c)3 status.
They began recruiting a group of volunteers and forming a network of Veterinarians,
boarding facilities and foster families to help care for their dogs and cats.
Who is "A Cause for Paws?"
We are a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization. We have no shelter
of our own, so we foster and board all of our animals until we can find them
loving homes. We rescue our animals from the streets of New York City (and
surrounding areas) and from local kill shelters. Our goal is to educate the
public about the benefits of spaying and neutering, create awareness about
the consequences of breeding and buying and continue to save the lives of
animals.
How can I help?
If you want to directly help save the lives of New York City's homeless
animals, you can volunteer with us (in a variety of opportunities) or send
us a tax-deductible donation. Every penny of your
donation goes directly towards the care of rescued animals looking for loving
homes.
