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.
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.
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.

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

With digital savvy and a shared passion for ethical animal care, Kallem Rhein and Sophia Baker have become powerful behind-the-scenes forces for Pause for Paws. Volunteering their time and talent, they’ve added valuable assets to our social media department. Being the first to volunteer in this department, we made this pair a Pause For Paws Partner.
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.
Restaurants, hotels, and event venues have a unique opportunity to make a real impact by partnering with Pause for Paws AZ through special events. Hosting a fundraiser, themed night, or community gathering helps raise awareness while connecting your brand to a mission of compassion and rescue. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
