Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society

Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) is a registered charity established in 1996. We are a volunteer-based organization committed to finding safe, loving, forever homes for abused, abandoned, stray, and unwanted animals in RDCK Districts A, B, and C. PAWS philosophy as a no-kill shelter means that PAWS pets that don’t find their fur-ever homes live out their lives, loved and cared for at the shelter or fostered by volunteers. Our one paid employee is our on-site caretaker, whose wages are offset by the rental of our Caretaker Cottage. We are not affiliated with or funded by the BC SPCA, or any municipal or provincial branch of government. Our funding comes strictly from donations, fundraising, and grants.
