Adopting?

Welcome to the PAWS Website!

 Fundraising
PAWS urges potential owners of an adopted pet to obtain health information when adopting and to have pets vet-checked within 48 hours of adoption.

PAWS cannot guarantee the health of pets privately owned and listed with PAWS.		 The Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) is a registered, non-profit society committed to finding safe, comfortable homes for abandoned and unwanted animals in the Creston Valley. PAWS serves an area of approximately 3500 square miles and our goal is to establish a full service animal facility in the Creston Valley. 

Pet Care Tips

Foster homes are desperately needed and PAWS will continue to need foster homes even after the shelter is in operation.

Strays
If a stray, untagged cat or dog shows up at your door, the immediate things you can do are to:

- Check the newspaper under Lost Pets
- Call the vet clinic
- Call 428-PAWS

Unless you are prepared to assume the responsibility and care of this pet until an owner or new home can be found, DO NOT FEED IT!

If the pet is not encouraged to stay, it will probably move on and could find its own way home.
