PAWS For Life – Animal Welfare & Protection Society is a private, non-profit, no-kill shelter for dogs in Pueblo, Colorado.  We are funded entirely by donors and  grants.  We are also supported by volunteers just like you who have a passion to advocate for the “underdog.”  We have become a safe haven for strays, owner surrenders and even dogs from nearby shelters that need a little extra help finding a “forever home.”

Underdogs to Wonderdogs!

The PAWS For Life shelter houses 50-60 dogs at any one time.  Because we are a no-kill shelter we will keep every furry resident until it is adopted out or becomes too ill to treat. 

We are very proud to announce that last year alone, we, with the help of our donors, volunteers and adopting families, made approximately 400 “underdogs” into “wonderdogs!” 
Or in other words, 400 of our most loyal and trusting tenants found “forever homes.”

Adoptions surge at new dog shelter

We had 97 adoptions last month and looks like we are going to do as well this month.
