WELCOME to Pet and wildlife sanctuaries

at paws, we pride ourselves in Protecting all animals, wild and domestic.

with your help, we accomplish this by establishing and operating protected, no-kill sanctuaries that provide safe spaces for rescued animals, where they can recover and heal from prior trauma and abuse. We also maintain open areas for local wildlife to enjoy. At PAWS, the majority of the ANIMALS in our care ARE now LIFETIME RESIDENTS, AND AS SUCH, we strive to give each of them the best life possible!

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

-Mahatma Gandhi

Pet And Wildlife Sanctuaries, Inc. (PAWS) provides protected sanctuaries where rescued pets and local wildlife can not only survive, but ultimately flourish in lush environments with open spaces and the comforts of their natural habitat(s). 

Starting and maintaining each sanctuary greatly depends on constant funding. This funding comes from local, state, and federal contracts, as well as the contributions of corporations, large and small businesses, and without question, individual donors like YOU!

100% of donations that are received by PAWS directly fund our mission of fostering and protecting animals. These funds are used to directly benefit the animals as well as positively impact the local communities where each sanctuary exists. If you are unable to donate at this time, please consider volunteering your time at one of our sanctuaries, or keep us in mind for any future times of giving.

Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.
