PAWS of Southwest Virginia, Inc.

Our Featured Pet... .

Who We Are

We are PAWS of SWVA. People for Animal Welness and Safety. We are a 501.c3 tax exempt group dedicated to a neuter & spay program that will reduce the number of healthy animals euthanized by our local shelters.

All of our funds go towards low cost neuter & spay for adopted animals. We are a group of volunteers,we have no facilities, and we depend on donations that are tax deductable.

We work in conjunction with the Wise and Dickenson County Animal Shelters to encourage the adoption of shelter pets and by educating the public on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets.

PAWS features a "Pet of The Week" in the local county papers and provides a $25 voucher towards the cost of spaying/neutering pets adopted from the shelter. We also hold Adoption Days and invite the community to bring unwanted pets or stray cats/dogs to the Adoption Day.

Adopting a friend

We charge no adoption fee. Occasionally, we will ask the new owner to reimburse a "foster" family for the cost of spaying/neutering the pet and the cost of vaccinations. We have adoption applications, adoption agreement, and certification of no animal abuse forms.
