Help Us Build a Future Where Every Paw Matters!

Welcome

Welcome to the Pause for Paws Animal Sanctuary pitch deck; a transparent and heartfelt overview of our mission, our strategy, and the life-saving work your investment can make possible. We believe animals deserve more than a temporary stopgap, they deserve lifelong care, safety, and love. 

About Us

This presentation outlines how we’re creating a sustainable sanctuary model that replaces kill shelters with compassionate care. With your support, we’re not just building a safe haven in Arizona’s White Mountains, we’re building hope. 

You're Invited

Whether you’re a philanthropist, an angel investor, or someone who believes every animal has value, this is your invitation to be part of real, lasting change.

Feral Historian

Cold Blooded Exotics

Dogs of Tucson - A Pause For Paws MVP

 Stories are cultural artifacts, whether it's epics on clay tablets or big-budget films. Those artifacts can tell us a lot about the time and culture that made them if we take a few minutes to shake them and see what falls out. To that end, an independent scholar goes rogue from academic respectability, wanders out into the wild, and talks to the trees and rocks about science fiction and its place in historical study. This is the Feral Historian

Host Donations

 Partnering with Pause for Paws AZ is a simple yet powerful way for your business to make a lasting impact in our community. By hosting a donation box, a supply bin, or offering “round up” options at your point-of-sale system, your business becomes part of a compassionate movement to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need. It’s a low-effort, high-impact way to show your customers you care and to help give abandoned pets the second chance they deserve. Every cent, every can of food, every act of kindness adds up to real, tail-wagging change. Let's create a partnership that saves lives, one paw at a time.

Whether it’s a “Dine & Donate” dinner, a pet-friendly patio party, or a charity gala, every event supports life-saving care for our sanctuary animals. By opening your space, you create memorable experiences for your guests and help give abandoned pets the second chance they deserve, proving that your business doesn’t just serve the community, it saves lives in it.  

Fund The Cause

Host Donations

Fund The Cause

 Ongoing partnerships are the heart of lasting change and by becoming a sustaining donor, your business helps Pause for Paws AZ provide consistent, round-the-clock care for animals who have nowhere else to go. Unlike one-time contributions, continuous support allows us to plan ahead, expand our rescue reach, and ensure every animal receives food, medical care, and emotional rehabilitation without disruption. It’s a long-term commitment to compassion that shows your company’s values in action, month after month. Together, we’re not just reacting to emergencies, we’re building a future where every rescued paw has a place to heal and belong. 

Become a Pause for Paws Donations Host

Make Compassion Part of Your Business

 At Pause for Paws, we believe every business has the power to be a force for good, and we make it simple for you to make a difference. Our Donations Host Program gives you the opportunity to support local animal welfare efforts with minimal effort and maximum heart.

By becoming a Donations Host, you’re not just collecting funds or supplies; you’re joining a compassionate movement that’s transforming lives through rescue, rehabilitation, and lifelong sanctuary care for animals in need.

Three Easy Ways to Get Involved:

1. Donation Box at Point of Sale

 Display a small, branded donation box at your register or countertop to give customers an easy way to contribute spare change. You choose the location, how many boxes you’d like, and the sizes that work best for your space. 

2. Animal Supply Donation Bin

 Set up a bin to collect pet food, toys, leashes, and other much-needed animal supplies. We’ll work with you to find the ideal placement in your store and tailor the bin sizes to your needs. It’s an easy way to turn your space into a hub of giving. 

3. Round-Up at Register

We want to recognize and thank our dedicated volunteers who help us care for our animals every day. Meet some of our volunteers and read about their experiences.

Why Partner with Us?

 

  • Credibility & Recognition: Be featured as a trusted partner in our outreach and marketing materials.
  • Community Connection: Show your customers you care about what matters to them; animals, community, and kindness.
  • No Hassle, All Heart: We provide the materials and support. You simply provide the space.

Get more Traffic & Community Buzz with a Pause For Paws Partner’s Event

 

Looking for a fresh and meaningful way to draw attention on your slower days or maybe just your slower hours? Partnering with Pause For Paws Animal Sanctuary gives your business the chance to attract new customers, boost community goodwill, and support a powerful cause, all in just a 2 to 4-hour event.

What We Bring to the Table:

  

  • Zero cost promotion: For an entire week leading up to the event, our team will promote your venue across and up to a 5-mile radius. We handle posters, flyers, canvassers and everything else to make this event a hit.
  • Custom event design: We create and distribute all marketing materials with your brand at the center. This includes eye-catching flyers and posters, complete with a stylized placeholder “Your Logo Will Go Here” logo to help you visualize your brand impact.
  • Fully staffed event: We provide a dependable volunteer team for setup, crowd engagement, and support during the event.

Flexible to Fit Your Schedule:

 You choose the date and time slot. Whether it’s a 2-hour happy hour or a 4-hour midweek boost. This flexibility allows you to maximize foot traffic on your slower days and turn downtime into a full house.

Streamlined Menu / Product List = Smoother Event:

 All we ask is that you offer a simplified menu or product list. This helps reduce wait times and keeps the event fun and fast-paced. Also, if you're able to offer a small discount on these featured items, that small detail alone could dramatically boost attendance. Even simply mentioning a discount, no matter how small, can create a serious buzz.

Want Dogs at the Event? That’s Your Call.

 If you'd like, we can bring a few friendly rescue dogs to boost engagement. Many guests LOVE this, but if you'd rather keep the event animal-free or contain them to a designated space for sanitary purposes, we've got you covered. 

How the Donation Model Works:

 We're not here to squeeze margins; we're here to build up the community. You can choose from one of three easy contribution options from your event sales:

  • 10%
  • 15%
  • 20%
  • Or Higher

 Or if you'd rather not commit to a percentage, simply allow sales to round up at the register. Every little bit supports our mission to end kill shelters and build a sanctuary for rescued animals. 

On-Site Presence for a Cause:

 We’ll request a small footprint; just a table at the entrance and exit, plus optional donation boxes for service counters, dining tables, or wherever you’re comfortable. 

Optional Live Stream Exposure

 As an added perk, we can live stream your event on our Pause For Paws Book Club YouTube channel, which currently has over 10,000 subscribers. It’s a great way to showcase your venue, promote your brand in real-time, and amplify community engagement beyond just the local crowd. This option is available at no cost and purely at your discretion. 

It’s low risk, high visibility, and full of heart.

  Let’s work together to make your venue a destination for something truly meaningful. You give us a space and a time, you’ll gain traffic, goodwill, and a unique spotlight on your venue.
