A Paw and A Prayer Rescue (APAAP) is a volunteer-run dog rescue serving Greater Chattanooga, Tennessee, and surrounding communities. The organization helps abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs by rescuing those suitable for adoption, supporting their recovery, and helping them find homes. Its work includes vaccinations, treatment for intestinal parasites, and spaying or neutering. Dogs with additional needs may receive care for conditions such as heartworms, broken bones, mange, and other medical issues.

APAAP aims to reduce the number of pets entering shelters by preparing rescued dogs for adoption and connecting them with prospective families. People can browse the dogs available for adoption and contact the rescue with questions. Community members can also support APAAP by donating supplies such as food, crates, leashes, cleaning products, and flea and tick prevention. Other ways to help include volunteering at events or behind the scenes and sharing adoptable dogs with friends and family. The rescue relies on volunteers, personal resources, and donations to provide care and support its work.
