Welcome
Hi, I’m Sritha, the founder of Paws & Purpose. I started this nonprofit from a deep love for animals and a strong passion to make a difference in their lives, while also working toward my goal of pursuing a career in veterinary medicine.
Through Paws & Purpose, I organize fundraisers and community events to support local animal shelters. Every dollar we raise goes directly toward helping these shelters provide care, medical treatment, and safe spaces for animals in need. I’ve also led donation drives to collect essential supplies, ensuring shelters have the resources they rely on every day.
Beyond my work with Paws & Purpose, I’m actively involved in my community. As part of a youth council, I help create initiatives that increase awareness and engagement around animal welfare. I’ve also had the opportunity to shadow at a veterinary clinic, where I gained firsthand insight into a veterinarian’s daily responsibilities and observed medical procedures that strengthened my passion for this field.
In addition, I’ve volunteered at a senior living community, where I spent time connecting with residents and building meaningful relationships, an experience that has shaped my understanding of compassion and care in all forms.
Paws & Purpose is more than just an organization to me; it’s a mission to give animals a voice, support the people who care for them, and inspire others in the community to get involved. I’m so grateful to be on this journey and excited to continue making a difference, one step at a time.
