About PAWS Brave Hearts
PAWS Brave Hearts is a volunteer run, no/kill animal care, adoption and education center for homeless companion animals. Most of the animals in our care come to us directly from first responders, including Animal Control, police officers or Good Samaritans who find an animal in need. Many cats come to us through our Trap/Neuter/Adopt/ Return (TNAR) program which includes the care and management of outdoor feral colonies. We also assist animals who are about to become homeless due to the loss of a beloved guardian or a hardship faced by families.
In addition to providing transitional care and adoption services, we work with local schools to educate young people about the plight of homeless animals and engage them in many of our organization's activities.
We do this work because we believe that all animals deserve respect and care, including loving, permanent homes.

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.
