My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bug is a new addition to PAWS so we are still getting to know him. He is one of three dogs that got abandoned on our property. Because of that rough transition to life, he is scared of most things and timid around all people. We are slowly getting to see his true personality. He does best when he can go as slow as he chooses and nothing is rushed. His safe space right now is his room and if things are rushed, he rushes back in. He is now comfortable walking to our play yard and loves to hang out with Ladybug but still has a hard time if he is not accompanied by his friend.

Please allow us to give Bug time to learn and adjust at the pace he is comfortable with, more info coming soon.

UPDATE:
Bug has made a few new human friends but is a slow process. He is getting to know most of our staff and a few of our volunteers but he is still pretty shy around them. Anyone that is interested in adopting may have to come for a few visits in order to create a friendship before taking him home. He is still not quite ready to meet any doggy friends so for now, it would need to be a no dog home but that might change later in the future. He is showing very friendly and playful signs when he sees other dogs but his fears win in most cases. He gets spooked when they get too close and feels the need to put up a guard. Baby bug needs a home willing to give him all the time he needs with no rushed experiences. He is a very sweet boy but still very timid outside of his safe space (his kennel room).

Additional adoption info

Spay/neuter + rabies is included in our adoption fee, but may not be completed by time of adoption due to our limited access to veterinary appointments. We have local partners listed in your adoption contract that you can schedule an appointment with (and are paid by us) or we will reimburse for up to $100 for non-network veterinarians.

Go meet their pets

Our public hours are Tuesday - Saturday 11 am - 4pm. Dog meets may be also scheduled on Sunday and Monday by appointment only.
No appointment is needed to meet our cats during public hours.
Please note that appointments are highly recommended for dog meets due to limited staff availability, but we do accommodate walk-in visits whenever possible. Additionally, many of our dogs may be located off-site in foster homes and an appointment will be required to meet those pets. We do require a completed application prior to meeting pets in foster homes to preserve the valuable time of our foster families.

More about this shelter

PAWS finds new families for stray dogs and cats as well as owner surrendered pets. We also accept animals brought to us by concerned citizens and local animal control agencies and do our best to find them suitable homes. Our mission is to find homes and offer direct care for as many of these loveable pets as possible. PAWS attempts to prevent the birth of unwanted animals through education and spay/neuter programs.

PAWS of Grays Harbor is a strictly non-profit organization and we survive because of donations from our community. All of the animals we adopt out are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and treated for fleas. Sometimes, the animals we rescue require additional veterinary care. Without your donations, none of this would be possible. Thank you for your support, we couldn’t do it without you.
