Mission and Vision Statement



Paw Prints Dog Sanctuary and Canine Corps have a two-fold mission. Half of that mission is to give a loving home to Central Pennsylvania's senior dogs, either until a forever home is found or to live out their lives in a peaceful and safe setting. We define senior as approximately 10 and over. Seniors with disabilities and or illness are welcome here. Exceptions to these guidelines will be made on a case by case basis.
Equally as important, we offer a no charge "home away from home" for the dogs of Pennsylvania’s deployed military personnel. This will allow those service members to be assured that their canine buddy is safe while they are gone. In addition, Paw Prints dog Sanctuary and Canine Corps will establish a no charge lodging facility to allow for visits by the families of deployed military personnel to escape the stresses of daily life, as well as members of our armed services who need some peace and quiet. They can come to this tranquil setting to relax and enjoy the company of dogs.
Our vision is to provide peace and comfort for these animals while they are in our care and to create an environment that feels like home.

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you will want to be a part of this dream, too.
