Paws Across Pittsburgh celebrates 5th anniversary by saving 30 animals

TARENTUM — A local pet rescue celebrated its 5th anniversary on Saturday by doing what it does best, rescuing animals.

Paws Across Pittsburgh kicked off the anniversary with the arrival of nearly 30 animals from Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia.

Run solely by volunteers, the rescue provides medical care and helps find “forever homes” for cats and dogs. It operates on a foster-based model, meaning the animals live with foster families until they are adopted.
