PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society)

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s homeless and at-risk pets. PAWS is the city’s largest rescue partner and provider of affordable, basic veterinary care for pet owners and rescue organizations that cannot otherwise access it. PAWS is more than just a pet rescue organization; they’re our four-legged friends’ superhero squad! In 2023, PAWS rescued 2,378 homeless pets and served 28,723 clinic patients. PAWS mission is to make Philadelphia a no-kill city, where every savable pet is guaranteed a home.

I had the pleasure of visiting one of the PAWS locations right here in our district. The Northeast Adoption Center & Low-Cost Clinic is open 5-6 days a week for vet appointments, vaccinations, and spay/neuter surgery. Unfortunately, their adoption center is temporarily closed. During COVID, they were able to find homes for every animal they had at their center which is an amazing feat. But with COVID also came understaffing issues that made it hard for them to open back up with a full time staff dedicated to the adoption center. They are hoping to be able to open that back up in the near future.

Let’s give a round of a-PAWS to their dedication to providing top notch and affordable pet care to our furry best friends!
