About Pound Animals Worth Saving (P.A.W.S.) fur the Cause
Most of the P.A.W.S. team are, or were, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control (pound) volunteers and we are also a rescue group. While volunteering at the pound we saw first-hand how these dogs really need to get out of there and find forever loving homes. As of November 2012 we are 100% foster-based; we no longer have to place dogs in boarding. However, larger breeds are harder to place so we are ALWAYS looking for new foster homes for our large dogs!
Once our dogs are settled into their foster homes we market, market, market, and we hold events across the East Valley almost every week. Check out our Facebook page to find out where we are! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pound-Animals-Worth-Saving-PAWS-Fur-the-Cause-AZ/217367868309105

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.
