Dr. Rippie loved his town. He knew what it meant to be a part of a community. A good neighbor. A trusted friend. A real small town vet with a big heart. It’s in that spirit of generosity that Dr. Torre and the staff at Pennsauken Animal Hospital have started a non-profit called Dr. Rippie’s Helping Paws.
​
Helping Paws is based on the belief that every animal deserves an advocate, a voice that will speak for them and fight for their future. Lost, stray, and abandoned animals need someone to stand up for them if they have a good prognosis. Your support and donations towards this program will help us provide the medical care these animals deserve.
​
We can all think of a pet we lost too soon. A loved one we would give just about anything to have one more day with. One more game of fetch. One more shared cat nap. Let’s do this together.
​
All funds raised will be used to help animals in need of live-saving medical care.

Sophie is a very special case.
Soph is wonderful with other cats and dogs. She loves her humans and interacts well with them - but she HATES change. Changes in the home, vet visits - hates it all. If something changes, she does need an adjustment period to get used to any new change. She is does well on Prozac but does need sedated vet visits. No matter what or how long, we are committed to providing Sophie a loving home. We know that every life has value, even the more complicated ones.
