PAWS for Life’s mission is to help lost or unwanted animals; to return lost ones to their owners whenever possible or after having them spayed or neutered, place them in good homes; and to educate the public about intelligent and humane treatment of animals.

PAWS for Life is a "limited admission" NO-Kill Animal Shelter

Since 1978, PAWS for Life has relied entirely on donations to save thousands of animals.

We invite you to share in our important mission.

PAWS is a private animal shelter. We operate on “limited admission” based on space, staffing and adopt-ability.
