Your contribution to PAWS Animal Shelter is immediately put to use saving lives and helping animals in need. Donations to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization are used to provide food, medical care and shelter for animals in Swain County.

 

Since PAWS inception, we have adopted more than 3,000 animals to loving, forever homes and provided financial assistance for 11,000+ spay/neuter surgeries. We can’t do any of this without your generous donations. The average cost for routine medical intake per animal at PAWS is $169.
