Southern Paw Partners, Inc.

Southern Paw Partners, Inc. was formed to raise much needed funding for Midlands area animal rescue and welfare efforts. Our non-profit thrift store, Thrifty Paws Boutique, accepts gently used merchandise for resale. Funds are then distributed to qualifying animal rescue groups and individual animal welfare cases. We also educate the public on animal abuse and neglect issues as well as provide an environmentally friendly method of reusing and repurposing items that would otherwise go to landfill

Southern Paw Partners, Inc. has been in operation since 2015. We previously operated a thrift store called St. Paws Thrift Store under our non-profit as well as another non-profit 501(c)(3) called St. Paws LLC (2012-2015.) We elected to modify our thrift operation by creating a more upscale boutique to only sell the best quality donations we receive. This creates greater revenue while maximizing space in a smaller store location. Thrifty Paws Boutique began operation in February 2022.

Testimonials

Since we began our mission in 2012, we have donated over $150,000 in grants to 40 qualifying animal rescue groups and individual animal abuse & neglect cases. Through the operation of our thrift store, we are also providing an environmentally friendly way for people to donate their unwanted items as opposed to sending them to landfills. We promote reusing and repurposing in addition to educating the public on animal welfare issues, spay/neuter programs, TNR programs, fostering, volunteering and community involvement.
