Paws on Record isn't a charity and doesn't take a salary — but it does cost real money to run. Every dollar goes straight into keeping the data current, accurate, and legally defensible so shelters, fosters, and rescues can trust what they see here.
See every line item →Every convicted-abuser record gets parsed by an LLM from a verified news source. Each URL we ingest costs tokens.
The 50-mile radius search and nearest-police lookup hit geocoding and OpenStreetMap services that have daily quotas.
Servers, database, video-evidence object storage, and daily off-site backups so no record is ever lost.
Every takedown / correction request gets reviewed by a human against the underlying court record — that time isn't free.
