About

Many lives have been changed through the love and commitment to saving abandoned and abused pets. More than 500 animals find new homes and loving families through our organization every year. At times during the year, PAWS has housed as many as 80 cats and 20 dogs at one time. These numbers fluctuate depending on the space, funds and man power available to care for these pets. We would love to take every pet in need, but as a no-kill shelter, we do not euthanize for space and can only take in animals as quickly as they get adopted. Because the demand to bring us animals is far greater than the demand to adopt, we have waitlists to bring in both cats and dogs. While we would love to have a larger space and more personnel to better meet the demand, we simply cannot afford to expand. The best solution, however, is to spay and neuter your pets to reduce pet overpopulation.
