PETS. ABOUT. HOME DONATE. VOLUNTEER.
Volunteer

PAWS Humane is a non-profit organization working to solve the ever growing animal overpopulation issue, to educate the public on animal welfare, and to build programs and services that will help our community. We are not funded by your tax dollars or government grants.  We rely on private gifts, from people just like you, for the majority of our income.   Your kind contributions will help to ensure that the homeless pets in our shelter receive the best care possible, and that our humane education, and other PAWS community outreach programs continue to grow and benefit both people and animals. Your generosity will help make PAWS Humane the leading force to stamp out animal abuse and overpopulation.

Spay/Neuter Clinic
Please donate to our Spay/Neuter clinic and help us ensure the number of homeless dogs and cats killed in our community each year continues to decline.
Planned Giving
Many people treat their pets like family.  Planning for your death is an uncomfortable subject and one people tend to avoid.  Provisions are made for children and family but what about your companion pets?  What would happen to your pet if you were no longer able to care for him?  It’s a scary thought but one that can be particularly frightening if something unforeseen happens.  Please click here for more information regarding Estate Planning.

Donate a Bed Animal lovers can make a world of difference for PAWS shelter dogs by donating a soft, dry off the floor Kuranda bed to sleep on. The calming effect reduces stress levels and helps to promote adoption. The NEW Kuranda cat bed increases floor space for the cats, giving them the opportunity to jump up and view their surroundings from a private spot. The space underneath the bed creates a cozy nook for a shy cat to feel secure. To donate a dog or cat Kuranda bed, please click here
