About Pamlico Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)
"Everyone deserves a second chance, whether they have two legs or four," is our motto.
In 2012, PAWS began a "New Leash on Life" (NLOL) dog rescue/training program, partnering with the Pamlico Correctional Institution in Bayboro, North Carolina.
The NLOL program takes rescued shelter dogs and pairs them with carefully selected inmate trainers for the betterment of both. Dogs become socialized, well-mannered canine good citizens, and inmates develop a sense of teamwork, responsibility, pride and accomplishment.
Every eight weeks these canine companions graduate and go home with their new adoptive families, and a new group of doggie students enter the program. You, too, can give a fur-ever home to one of these deserving dogs. Start today!

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.
