The Paw in Hand Program is unique in that it supports families that are struggling with a furry family member’s challenging behavior and feel that surrendering their pet is the only option available. This program is open to Teller County residents and their companion pet, even if the cat or dog was not adopted from TCRAS. The Paw in Hand Program will help keep more pets in their homes, reducing returns and surrenders to the shelter and creating a positive solution for everyone involved.
To qualify for the program, pet owners will meet with a TCRAS staff member to discuss their unique situation. If it is determined that this program would be beneficial for the family, we will work with them to find them the right fit with a trainer, behavior specialist, veterinarian or other help.
Some examples of behaviors that can be worked with:
