Big Hands Little Paws
We rescue homeless and unwanted cats and dogs regardless of breed, age or health, get them spayed or neutered and other necessary medical care and then find temporary and permanent homes they need and deserve! We do not have a shelter. We rely on an amazing group of foster parents and boarding facilities to help us take care of the rescued animals that desperately need our help.
Adopt-a-Pet.com (formerly 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com) is North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website with over 15,500 public and private animal shelters and humane societies posting their pets for adoption.
For many years, Robyn was also involved in pet therapy programs in New York City,
working with hospitals and libraries to share her own dogs with people who could use a "paw" up.
Together with her black cocker spaniel Huppy, Robyn visited Mount Sinai Hospital
and participated in the READ with Mudge program at the New York Public Library.
