About Our Rescue Group
P.A.W.S. of Austin, (Protection for Animal Welfare Services) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) animal rescue organization, established in Austin Texas for the purpose of helping animals by providing refuge to stray and unwanted companion animals. Our breed specialties are Great Danes and Miniature Pischers.

P.A.W.S.’ first goal is to provide the best possible care to the animals that are brought to our rescue. Our second goal is to find new homes for all the homeless animals in our care. We always look for new ways to get our message across and help our very deserving animals find permanent, loving homes. Our attempts to place homeless animals into good homes help not only the animal, but also provide a new owner with a loving companion and a memorable life experience.

Beside sheltering and re-homing pets, P.A.W.S. also promotes education regarding the pet overpopulation crisis and we encourage spaying and neutering. We go to schools, churches and civic organizations in an effort to help people learn what they can do to help in this nationwide epidemic. P.A.W.S. concentrates on promoting public awareness regarding various animal welfare issues, pet health care and most importantly, prevention of animal cruelty.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
