Volunteering with PAW is a very rewarding experience because you work directly with the animals and every time you volunteer you really make a difference in the life of a dog or a cat. PAW is comprised of all volunteers, and you can do as little or as much as your schedule allows (every bit is appreciated).

I have volunteered with P.A.W. for almost 3 years. I have never worked with a more dedicated group of people who unselfishly give of their time to rescue. care for, and find loving homes for discarded dogs and cats. You will be helping out a wonderful rescue organization if you volunteer with us.

I have been with PAW since its inception 13 years ago. I have never worked with more dedicated and caring individuals, a total volunteer force, who has placed thousands of unwanted animals into loving, forever homes. I have met many of my best friends through PAW and I highly recommend and welcome meeting anyone wishing to help out and join us!

PAW goes out of its way to help a lot of dogs and cats get second chances at a new life. Between showing the dogs and cats at local shows, on its website, and occasionally on TV, needy animals get a lot of exposure and often a great second home sooner rather than later. Their adoption standards might seem strict to some, but that's only because they know the animals' tendencies very well and since the dogs/cats have often been abandoned/surrendered once before, they want to really make sure it never happens again and avoid further trauma.

I have been a PAW volunteer since 1998, when I adopted my first dog from the group. I had never had a dog, only cats. PAW took the time to consider me, even though I had no dog experience. Volunteering for PAW has been such a rewarding experience. I find the volunteers to all have a common goal--to find dogs and cats the best homes possible. PAW volunteers are full of love, compassion and dedication for all of our animals!
