PAWS Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society

PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS, a no-kill shelter with three locations, is the city’s largest rescue partner and operates two high-volume, low-cost clinics serving pet owners and rescue organizations that lack access to affordable basic veterinary care. Through its adoption centers, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year. PAWS is working to make Philadelphia a no-kill city where every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.

We will only achieve our mission with the help and participation of the entire community. There are many ways to join us and help save lives!

PAWS has designed this app to make it even easier for you to adopt, foster, donate, or volunteer. You can use it to find out about our adoption and fundraising events, see our dogs and cats who are waiting for loving homes, contact us with questions, and learn about other ways to get involved and be a part of our lifesaving efforts.
