I have fostered cats and dogs from PAWS for 7 years. We have enjoyed having the kittens and puppies for a few weeks as we get them used to being around people. Then they are off to be adopted by their forever families. In addition to traditional cats and dog adoptions, they are a great organization that nurses injured animals back to health and releases them back into their habitats. I have brought in birds and ducks. I think they currently have a bear cub that wandered into a store in Oregon. The people there are all animal lovers that are dedicated to helping the lives of animals. Good Job!
My first exposure to PAWS was when I brought an injured American Beaver to them for help. After that, I knew I wanted to work with this organization so I volunteered at PAWS and worked on the wildlife rehabilitation side. I can say from seeing it from the inside that the entire staff is committed to the health and wellbeing of the animals in their care, not only on the wildlife side but on the companion animal side as well. PAWS is an amazing organization! From the care they provide to hurt or neglected animals to being a great resource the general public can reach out to for assistance when it comes to the animals in their life be it wild or tame. We, animals and people alike, are very fortunate to have an organization like PAWS to turn to for help.
