How You Can Help Join PAWS as either an Active Member, Student Member, or Friends of PAWS.  Please contact us or attend the next PAWS meeting and fill out a membership form.

Volunteers are also needed just to socialize and play with the dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens.  Please call the PAWS number or email us for more information. Volunteer to foster dogs, puppies, cats, or kittens in your home.  Foster homes are sometimes needed for animals with special situations or needs.  Please call the PAWS number or email us to set up a meeting to apply as a foster home.
