Our Story

About

Founded in 2017 by El Paso Police Department Detective, Vanessa Acosta,

Law N Paws has rescued over

600 animal victims

of abuse, abandonment, and neglect

in the El Paso community.

Many of our rescues come from cases of extreme starvation, dehydration,

torture, brutal beatings,

animal fighting,

stabbings,

gunshot wounds,

medical neglect,

and emotional abandonment.

Rescue: Remove victim from crime scene

Rehabilitation: Recovery with the proper veterinarian care & hospitalization

Rehoming: Reviewing applications for the perfect healthy & loving home for our rescue

Law N Paws aims to spread awareness of the

link between cruelty to animals and violence towards humans often seen through domestic violence, child abuse, and elderly abuse.

Law N Paws operates independently and does not receive funding from

city, state, or federal sources.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization,

we rely entirely on donations and grants to continue our vital work.
