About PAWS - Peoples Animal Welfare Society

PAWS is a registered charity that has been providing unique assistance to all animals since 1972. We enforce a strict no-kill policy and are managed exclusively by devoted volunteers. We not only spay/neuter and vaccinate the cats we rescue ... we also blood test each and every one to either rule out or confirm FIV or FeLeuk. We are in the early stages of constructing a special shelter for the FeLeuk cats (who may never actually develop the disease but who must not interact with the others) and WE COULD REALLY USE YOUR HELP! Thank you :)

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

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, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
