Who we are:

At Newton County Paws & Purpose Inc., our journey began with a simple act of advocacy. In February 2025, Casey and Michelle stepped into the Newton County shelter with a shared mission: to speak up for the voiceless animals who needed a second chance. What started as advocacy quickly evolved into a deeper calling.We soon discovered a heartbreaking truth—being a county-run shelter without an on-site veterinarian meant that animals requiring urgent or extensive medical care often faced euthanasia if no adopter or rescue could intervene. Even healthy animals were frequently overlooked, leaving those with medical needs virtually without hope.Then came one extraordinary dog with an unforgettable story. Her resilience and spirit moved us—and the shelter staff asked us to help raise funds for her care. That moment changed everything. It showed us what was possible when compassion meets action.In July 2025, Newton County Paws & Purpose Inc. was born.Our mission is to bridge the gap between shelter limitations and lifesaving care. We’re dedicated to providing critical medical support, advocating for every animal’s right to a loving home, and creating a future where no animal is left behind due to lack of resources. Every life matters—and every story deserves a chance to be told.
