Paws United Pinellas — Helping Animals. Helping People. Building a stronger community together.

Paws United Pinellas

Paws United Pinellas (PUP) is a Pinellas County nonprofit dedicated to helping people and animals in need — providing food, supplies, veterinary care, and compassionate support so no one faces hardship alone.

One Community. One Mission. Endless Impact.

We believe that when people and animals thrive together, our whole community is stronger. PUP bridges the gap for families facing hardship — keeping pets with their people and putting food on the table.
