About Us

---

Thank you for connecting us to Home For Good Dog Rescue and helping with the referral process.  Teddy (formally Bradley) is the perfect addition to our family and our son an daughter’s absolute best friend.  He plays fetch for hours with them, sits with them while they play and helps them feel safe at night in bed.  He’s playful but gentle, he is sweet and loving but a fantastic guard and protector of our home.  We can’t imagine a better pet for our family.  We will ONLY rescue through PawPair going forward.  Jess is lovely to work with, incredibly knowledgeable, and does her due diligence researching shelters, agencies and getting to know her clients.  Thank you PawPair!

The adoption process can be daunting and time consuming, particularly if you want a certain age, breed or personality trait. PawPair makes it seamless and approachable to rescue by taking on the search process and logistics for us. Through their extensive network of high-quality rescues, who know each of their animals and what type of home would be best suit them, PawPair made it possible for us to put our effort towards being able to give a dog a second chance as opposed to buying. We got exactly what we wanted because when you rescue, your options are endless, you just need the right support system.

We have never been pet owners but dreamed of a family dog for our animal-loving daughters. Knowing there are many dogs in need of adoption, but not knowing where to start, PawPair was invaluable in educating us about the needs of rescue dogs and how to find one that was appropriate for our young family.  Jessica directed us to True North Rescue, suggested different breed personalities and guided us through the process for adoption approval.  We had originally thought an adult French bulldog would be best for our city life, but we were introduced to a four month-old Poochon puppy and we fell in love. We were empowered with the knowledge from PawPair and grateful we were able to rescue Oscar from the puppy mills. His limitless love and cooperative nature makes it hard to believe that anyone could have mistreated him -- a rescue dog's resiliency is a lesson in forgiveness and genuine joy. We feel so lucky that PawPair helped us find Oscar and are indebted for the positive impact he has had on our family.

The process was simple and quick! Jess is super knowledgable about dogs and the adoption process. At the shelter she asked all the right questions to guarantee we would find our perfect match! Working with PawPair was an amazing experience, and we will definitely recommend to any friends looking to adopt!

Jess was warm, friendly and knowledgeable.  She really took our wants and needs into consideration.  She’s such a great resource and knows how to navigate the adoption system.

PawPair and Jess are the reason we found our new best friend!  Jess was super helpful and thorough through the whole process.  She helped us to find the pup that was a perfect fit for us.  We are so happy we were able to find Kona and even better, adopt from a local shelter.  I would highly recommend using PawPair to help you find your next dog.

We’re so happy we asked Jess to help us adopt our second dog, Wednesday.  She was so helpful in setting up meetings with the staff at Adopt-A-Dog and had great advice on questions we should ask them and ways to introduce Wednesday to her new home.  We would definitely recommend PawPair to anyone thinking about getting their first dog or expanding their pup family!

- Monica & Mike S.

Jess was extremely helpful in finding our new pet, Phoebe.  The online resources can be overwhelming at times and Jess helped us navigate them to find a beautiful, sweet 10-month-old Hound/Pointer.  Jess is friendly and knowledgeable and will not give up until she finds the right fit for your family.  Thank you PawPair!

- Jeff & Cathy G.

Jess and PawPair are wonderful.  I fell in love with a particular breed and Jess connected me with multiple rescue organizations that focused on that breed (Frenchie) and stuck with it through many applications to find the right fit.   She was also very knowledgeable about different breeds and their characteristics.  She went out of her way to provide suggestions for how to get prepared for a new member of the family as well - all of which I have used!  Thanks Jess!!

PawPair was instrumental in helping us find our beloved new family member, Tito.  Jess took the time to get to know exactly who would best suit our family, especially since we had a senior dog and two children.  She did a great deal of research, and presented her findings to us in a clear and thorough manner.  PawPair has so many relationships with various rescues and shelters throughout the region, and the work they do is invaluable in saving lives of animals in need of homes.  Thank you PawPair!!!

The idea of adopting a Rescue Dog has always been something we thought we would eventually do, but finding that perfect match eluded us.  With so many deserving animals out there- it was daunting to know where to begin.

A chance meeting with Jess Bryant changed all that.  Her company, PawPair strives to match deserving animals with loving homes.  After assessing our needs, she navigated us through the process; making it seamless and easy.

Thank you, Jess for finding Luna for us and for all you do bring loving animals together with their forever homes!

We found Jess and PawPair through a mutual friend and it’s worked out perfectly.  Jess was very attentive and asked all the right questions as she listened to all of ours.  Having a 3-year-old son we needed a very gentle, kid friendly dog.  Jess worked very hard for us and paired us with a wonderful rescue organization.  Together, with Jess’ help and guidance I think we literally adopted the world’s sweetest dog. We couldn’t be happier!  Jess makes the big process of finding and adopting a dog so much easier and less overwhelming. Use PawPair. Rescue a dog. You won’t regret it!

PawPair has “furever” changed our lives, in the best way possible!  Jess tirelessly searched for the perfect rescue pup for us and succeeded beyond words.  Her passion for animal welfare surpasses any I’ve seen, making this company and its services truly remarkable.  Before we knew it we were driving to the airport to meet and pick up our 3month old Sato Labrador mix right off the plane from Puerto Rico!  Lulu has put more smiles on our faces then we can count and gives us such unconditional love.  Thanks again PawPair!

Jess is amazing! It turned out she had personal experience with the dog we were considering, and she was a great sounding board for us. With her advice and encouragement, we adopted the dog and it’s worked out perfectly. Jess is proactive, responsive and very well connected. I couldn’t imagine going through the process without her.

-Catherine F.

Jess truly went above and beyond for us. When we set out to get a pup, we knew we wanted to adopt, but navigating the NYC adoption process can be overwhelming - especially when you're like us and need a non-shedding dog. Jess was extremely patient and attentive, providing insight and guidance on everything from which rescues to look at, to dogs that would fit our criteria, to advice on dog behavior, the right vets, and more. Jess found our beloved Maltipoo, Walter, for us, and opened our minds and hearts about adopting an older dog. We can't imagine life without him. We'd recommend Jess any day!!

- Lindsey & Dan

Jess was fantastic to work with and helped us navigate the adoption from finding the right shelters, reviewing our applications and following up throughout the process. The adoption process before we found PawPair was difficult and confusing as dogs we saw online would be adopted by the time our application was reviewed and we weren’t able to speak directly with people at the shelters. Once we started working with Jess, she spent time getting to understand what kind of dog was right for us and used her experience and wide network to connect us with a shelter that had the perfect pup for us! We are so happy and grateful to have found our adorable new family member, Molly, and could not have done it without PawPair!

We found PawPair through Instagram while Jess was fostering a dog we were interested in from a local shelter. Although that initial dog did not find his furever home with us, we found Jess! After a few weeks of trying to navigate the dog adoption world on our own, we remembered Jess and reached out. We were immediately impressed with her professionalism, timeliness, and most of all attention to our family. Trying to adopt a dog with an infant at home can be challenging, but Jess helped us understand what types of dogs may work best and explored many avenues until we found our Desi (formerly Gracie from Safe and Sound Satos). Jess went above and beyond helping us get Desi including checking in during the first few weeks when we weren't sure if the initial foster situation would turn into a furever adoption. We are so lucky we had Jess to help us through all of the steps of adopting Desi!

I found Jess through a friend after mentioning to her how daunting the adoption process was going. My partner and I had attempted to adopt through several adoption agencies without any luck! After speaking with Jess, I knew we were in good hands. Jess made it clear that we were not alone in our frustrations with this process and she could guide us to make the adoption easier. We had our hearts set on a color, size and temperament, but that’s all the information Jess had to work with on what we were looking for in a dog. After getting to know us Jess picked the PERFECT puppy for our home. Roux has been a gift and we are both so happy to have found Jess and Roux! Thank you again for this incredible and easy experience.

My kids had wanted to get a pup for quite some time. But I just knew as a single working mom of two very busy children that it wasn’t going to allow for it. Fast forward to the spring of 2020 and time was all we had on our hands thanks to having to face a national pandemic and going into a lockdown. We decided collectively that we would start to investigate the possibility of adopting. The whole world was collectively thinking the same thing though and the process was daunting! I was slowly becoming discouraged. I honestly did not want to go to a breeder, nor did I actually wanted a puppy, but my options were slim pickings. Trying to do this on my own was becoming beyond disheartening. I reached out to a friend of mine whom I knew was involved in volunteering at animal shelters and was hoping she could avail some tips and tricks. Boy did she ever!!! She highly recommended that we, just call Jess. Jess was AMAZING! She was kind and very patient. I explained to her that we just had a death in our family from Covid-19 and I didn’t want to get my children’s hopes up. Low and behold before we knew it we were introduced to the newest member of our family: DEXTER, the Cockapoo. Dex stole our hearts the minute we held him. Who knew that this 15 pound, 7 year old pup was exactly what this family needed?  Best part?!? The novelty of Dexter still hasn’t worn off. Few weeks after bringing Dexter into our world their father decided he too wanted to in fact adopt a pup. He contacted Jess and in no time he had a new pooch, Daisy. Whether my kids are home with me or go to visit their dad they always have a pooch by their side. Thanks to Jess my beans now have two new pooches to love. Thank you Jess for completing our family’s circle.

Our experience with PawPair was amazing! Jess and her team listened to what we wanted and guided us through it all. They are a great place to start when looking to adopt and they will keep you connected with the pup until he is in your hands. This is the kind of place you want to start with when looking to add a furry friend to your home. They will search and search until they find exactly what your preferences are and handle the logistics. 

Our black lab mix came to us when he was 3 months old, and he is everything we were looking for. A friendly, playful, sweet dog for our kids and he is exactly that. Would use again and recommend to others!
