Shelter
Providing Animals With Support (PAWS)
Mission
PAWS (Providing Animals With Support) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill, volunteer animal rescue organization founded in 2002. We rescue animals who are scheduled to be euthanized due to lack of space at shelters. We place them into foster homes or at our adoption center and then into quality permanent homes. PAWS relies solely on donations and volunteers.
Our Mission Statement
PAWS advocates the saving of lives in the animal community by rescuing those in need, promoting adoption and encouraging proper health care.
“Until they all have a home!”
Adoption Policy
Adoption Process
To begin the adoption process, we require an interview (we may use GoogleEarth for homechecks). If you own your home, we will check property records to verify. If you rent, we call your landlord to make sure you have their approval to adopt a pet. We expect our animals to become part of your family!
Adoption Applications are good for 6 months if none of your information has changed.
All applications take approximately 24-48 hours to process.
