I have felt bad seeing people trash paws online and I decided last winter to support their efforts and foster with them. Got a sweet girl right before the snow hit. We needed to post her online however it took months to get approved in their Facebook group. You need to take them to events. Events would be posted on Facebook on Sunday for a weekday that upcoming week. That’s not enough notice to ask for time off at a job. I asked if we could be emailed these events in advance to plan for them. Was told no. It was discouraging. I still told people I met or that saw us out with Ginger that she was available at paws. We paid for her food and loved her. When the weather got warm I didn’t want to think she’d be suffering in our hot summer in their outdoor kennels so we allowed her to stay. She’s

Went to find us a dog to adopt, ended up with a puppy! She’s very pretty, and growing fast. The people at PAWS were helpful, polite and very caring of the pups!

Very rude on the phone and in person always has been and along with all their animal control people they are just as rude and I know all this from first hand experience a couple of years ago and all I was trying to do was locate my pet taken from a house that it shouldn’t have been taken from today and no one will tell me anything they are also a euthanized clinic and believe well into it and won’t try to advocate for the animals at all!!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE UNLESS YOU CAN THEM KILLED!!!!

I can not express how amazing the folks at PAWS are.A stray wondered onto our property and we were undecided on what to do. We decided to foster and eventually decided to officially adopt. Trina is an amazing human being. The team has amazing hearts and we have been given so much support. Thank you for being the voice for the voiceless!!🐾💗
