Our Why

Risen Paws was started by Myles and Jan Pitman September 1st, 2024. Risen Paws was birthed out of a desire to show people the love of Jesus through His love for animals. So often God's love for His creation gets missed. We believe it's imperative to steward our pets the way that Jesus intended, which is through the utmost love, integrity and care.

​

Your pets cannot speak for themselves, so it can be hard to find someone you trust to leave them with. We understand that concern. As followers of Jesus, we are accountable to Him whether we are being watched by others or not. Therefore, we assure you that we will provide a safe, loving and peaceful atmosphere for your pets.

We work hard to create a peaceful, stress free environment through relaxing Christian music, prayer and focused play groups that ensure everyone is free from intense wrestling, nipping, bullying, etc. Instead they play tug of war, chase, tube tag and keep away. 

Our name sake verse is Job 12:10, "In His hands is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." We would love you to read our blog for a further explanation and would love the opportunity to care for your pets even more!
