PAW Home

There are so many wonderful animals in need that we would like to help, but often PAW can not assist you in the placement of your pet or the stray you found. We are, after all, just a network of volunteers who rescue and care for animals in our homes. But we can provide you with some useful information to hopefully give you some help.
