From the Heart

Dear PAWS Friends,

Each year, PAWS cares for more than 4,500 wild animals from over 150 species, ranging from diminutive bats and hummingbirds to eagles, herons, seals, and black bears. Our current facilities are now more than 40 years old and were not designed to accommodate the scope and scale of wildlife rehabilitation work in our region. We know that we can be doing even more for animals with a larger wildlife center and purpose-built facilities.

The new campus features expanded medical facilities to improve the efficiency of care and provide more veterinary students the opportunity to receive expert hands-on training in wildlife medicine. It also features new recovery areas tailored to meet the needs of wild animals, including endangered and threatened species.

PAWS’ Promise

PAWS helps cats, dogs and wild animals go home and thrive—whether home is the family room or the forest. We do this by rehabilitating orphaned and injured wildlife, sheltering and adopting homeless cats and dogs, and educating the community to inspire compassionate action for animals.
