At PAWS Animal Adoption Center, we believe every animal deserves safety, care, and a place to call home. We are committed to rescuing animals in need, providing shelter and lifesaving medical treatment, and connecting them with loving families. Through education, advocacy, and strong community partnerships, we nurture the human-animal bond and create a kinder, more compassionate world—one adoption at a time.

You just may find that walking a dog, petting cats or cleaning a room
will give you a sense of satisfaction and peace.

The animals would love to see you, and so would we.
PAWS is a Fear Free Shelter
Fear Free was founded in 2016 with a mission to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them. By empowering our staff and volunteers to apply the broad concepts, strategies and techniques, we can reduce fear and frustration in the animals while they are in our care.
​
Learning how to better recognize the signs of fear, anxiety, stress and frustration and how to apply simple, practical means to prevent and decrease these stressors are crucial to creating a positive experience for the animals.
