Mission: People Promoting Animal Welfare (PPAW) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization with the exempt purpose of operating a low-cost spay/neuter clinic for dogs and cats. Our clients primarily reside in 3 counties of East Tennessee area (Blount, Loudon and Monroe counties), but we have clients from 14 other Tennessee counties and three other states. The PPAW Spay/Neuter Clinic was started in late 1998, and we have sterilized over 50,000 companion animals to date. Our mission is to reduce the number of unwanted dogs, cats, kittens and puppies in our area of East Tennessee and thus reduce the number of euthanasia induced deaths at area shelters. We support rescue organizations to help them save dogs, cats, puppies and kittens from kill-shelters, and we support shelters who are working diligently to achieve no-kill status. Their quest and our mission work hand in hand.
Results: 2012 Calendar year to date through September, 2012, PPAW has fixed over 52,000 cats and dogs. We spay or neuter approximately 5000+ animals per year.
Geographic areas served: Loudon, Blount and Monroe counties are the primary counties served in our area of East Tennessee, but our reach also extends beyond to Sevier, Roane, Grainger counties and many remote areas of Appalachia.
