This effort helps animals at risk of euthanasia to have the best chance at finding loving, permanent homes in the animal-friendly Northwest.

PAWS welcomes cats and dogs from shelters and rescue groups in areas overwhelmed with homeless animals through our Placement Partner Program. To help keep animals in their homes, we offer animal behavior resources. We keep stray pets safe until we can reunite them with their families and help people find their missing cats and dogs. Our services include a shelter in Lynnwood, a satellite cat adoption center at PAWS Cat City in Seattle’s University District, and a spay and neuter clinic.

PAWS cares for more than 4,000 dogs and cats each year, provides training and education to strengthen the human/animal bond, and works to end animal cruelty and overpopulation.įrom our beginning in 1967, PAWS has maintained our vision of a community where animals are treated with respect, every pet has a permanent and loving home, and companion animals are spayed or neutered. For over five decades, PAWS Companion Animal Shelter has led the way in providing expert, compassionate care for animals in need.
