PAWS is a non-profit organization and depends on our adoptions as one source of funding for our work. The process of preparing homeless pets for adoption involves many staff, volunteer time, and resources for their medical needs. We provide healthy food, safe shelter, lifesaving medical care, behavioral training, exercise, and enrichment, and at times, foster care.

When you adopt from PAWS and pay an adoption fee, you help us continue to care for other animals in our community who need us. If additional veterinary care, such as surgery is needed, those charges may be added in addition to the adoption fee to help defray costs to the shelter.

Declawing: The cats must be under the age of two years old and only the front paws will be declawed. This procedure will be done at the time of spaying or neutering to reduce stress on the cat. Additional fees will apply for this procedure.

Additional veterinary services available: Dewclaw (dogs), declaw and any x-rays requested, Lyme vaccines, Microchips, and any other medical treatments as directed by our veterinarians.
