THE STORY OF SECOND PAW
Started with People—Not Products
How seeing perfectly usable pet supplies go to waste inspired a mission to make pet care more affordable, accessible and sustainable.
OUR FOUNDER
Meet Theresa
After years of running Pawsitive Pawadise, I kept noticing the same thing — perfectly usable pet supplies being thrown away, while other pet parents were struggling to afford the basics. Working closely with pet families made me realize how much perfectly good pet gear gets discarded simply because a pet outgrows it, no longer uses it, or their needs change — while another family may be looking for that exact same item. That’s how Second Paw began — giving quality pet items a second life while making pet care more accessible for more families.
Donate Supplies
We give gently used pet supplies a second life — cleaning, inspecting and thoughtfully recirculating quality pet gear instead of letting it go to waste.
OUR VISION

Reducing the financial burden of pet care by providing quality pre-loved supplies at a fraction of the cost.
Accessible
Making quality pet supplies more accessible to pet parents through affordable, thoughtfully recirculated options.
Sustainable
