Tackling animal welfare issues at both ends of the leash.

In our local communities pets and people often struggle together. When a pet suffers neglect, illness, or abandonment, there’s almost always a person behind that story facing hardship, crisis, or loss. Traditional animal welfare efforts often focus on one or the other—the animal or the human—but not both.

​

That’s where PAWS steps in.

​

For over 25 years, we’ve been tackling animal welfare issues at Both Ends of the Leash. 

​

Through our social services, we help local pet owners stay connected to their animals with financial assistance, access to veterinary care, and community resources that prevent unnecessary surrender.

​

At our shelter, pets find safety, compassion, and the chance to heal—before finding a loving home.

​

Our holistic approach to animal welfare offers a  nurturing environment where the well-being of animals and their human companions are intertwined.

We're way more than a shelter.
