News

PAWS has received great responses with the Petfinder website. Many animals lives have been saved by being placed into new homes through internet access. Having their pictures and information on the Petfinder site has given so many that all important second chance.

If you are looking for that special someone and we do not have it currently listed, email us at murphy_24171@yahoo.com. Give us a description of the pet of your dreams and if one comes into our system meeting your description, we will contact you.

Who We Are

PAWS is the Patrick Animal Welfare Society. A non-profit, all volunteer organization. All donations are tax-deductible. We are an unsheltered society and work with the animals that are unwanted in the county. We have fosterhomes that house, love, and socialize the animals until they are adopted. Our goal is to control pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering through education of the public and help our local shelter reduce it's euthanesia rate to nil.

PAWS can be reached by mail: P O Box 743, Stuart, VA 24171
or call 276-694-4081

Any animal adopted through PAWS must be altered prior to your taking it home. You will note 'available' dates on their write ups - this is the date they are scheduled to be altered. You may visit, and contract to adopt the animal before this date, but cannot take it that day. Our adoption fees for canines are $100 - $150, feline $65 to $100.

Adopting a friend

For fostered animals, please use the fosterhome contact information that is listed with each fostered animals information.

If you have puppies under 10 weeks of age and need placement, please email murphy_24171@yahoo.com and ask about our Rescue Puppy Program. If you have the time, love and space to foster, we are actively seeking additional foster homes so that we can save more animals. PAWS will provide training, food, medical care, and adoption promotion for the animal until it is adopted. The rewards are great!!! Please call us if you would like to explore becoming a foster home. There are many other volunteer activities as well, such as screening prospective adopters, spending a day at Petsmart for an adoptathon, grant writing, etc. Just email us at murphy_24171@yahoo.com.
