Mission

PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is working to make Philadelphia a city in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.

From 2005 through 2008, PAWS raised the “save rate” at the city shelter — which took in approximately 30,000 animals each year — from 11% to 60%. PAWS remains dedicated to saving the city’s most vulnerable animals. Through its adoption locations, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year.

Support for PAWS funds lifesaving initiatives including adoption and foster care programs, spay/neuter surgeries, low-cost vaccinations, and other efforts, all of which help reduce and will ultimately eliminate the unnecessary killing of Philadelphia''s animals.

Programs

Through our adoption center, located on the corner of 2nd & Arch Streets in Old City, and special adoption events held throughout the area, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of stray or owner-surrendered animals each year. All PAWS animals are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped before being sent home.
 
Our adoption center is open seven days a week. For hours of operation, directions, and to see our full calendar of adoption events and locations, please visit: www.phillypaws.org.

There are many adoptable animals living in one of our many foster homes, which provide temporary care for adoptable pets and help find them permanent homes. Visit www.phillypaws.org and click "Adopt" for a list of animals currently in foster care. You may contact foster parents directly to learn more, arrange to meet, and explore the adoption process.
