Two people sitting with a curly-haired dog outdoors. A mission rooted in love.

One beloved dog. A lasting legacy.

It started with love. It continues with hope.

Pawz For Hope was founded by Karin Mizell in loving memory of Goku, a beloved poodle whose battle with Addison’s disease changed our family forever.

His journey inspired a mission: to help other animals receive the care they need, and to stand beside the people who love them.
