Wounded Paw Project®
Be the voice of the voiceless
The Wounded Paw Project is raising awareness and
taking action against the mistreatment of dogs and other animals!
Our Mission
Our motto is “Saving A Paw, to Save A Life” – Giving Them a Second Tail in life.
We are a three-tiered organization:
How to Support Wounded Paw Project
FACT: Approximately 4 million dogs enter animal shelters every year.
FACT: 50% of Pit Bulls in shelters are euthanized.
Wounded Paw Project is working to put an end to animal cruelty, breed discrimination, and the mistreatment of dogs and other animals around the world.
We can’t do it without you!
We are not a rescue. Our focus is on saving dogs from high-kill shelters so they can be given a second chance at life. Additionally, we take the hard cases such as bait, tortured, and abused dogs, that most likely would be euthanized at a kill-shelter.

Daisy “Rainbow” Hernandez
Daisy’s Story
Daisy “Rainbow” Hernandez was rescued from a shelter to fill the void to my human’s children. Their father was always gone to place like Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places for months and months at times. When he returned late 2008 something was different than his previous deployments. He was in constant pain and couldn’t get out of bed, the doctors kept feeding him pills after pills. He remained on active duty, but hid his physical and invisible wounds. However, I knew that I need to help him to save him from himself.
About WPP
Giving Rescue & Shelter Dogs a Second Tail as an Emotional Support Dog*
Wounded Paw Project (WPP) is dispelling the belief that shelter dogs are not practical candidates as Emotional Support Dogs. This notion is based upon the idea that by breeding, one can control temperament, wellness, and longevity. Anthropological data does not support the idea that upbringing and race/color influences level of performance or – more importantly – constructive contributor to society. Shelter Dogs exemplify the military creed [dogma] of “Service before Self”.
*Service, Emotional, Therapy, Comfort, Mobility, Sexual Trauma, Courts, etc.
