Funding
Like most animal welfare organizations, PAWS is not subsidized by
any government funding. We rely solely on donations from the public and
membership dues to continue helping animals in desperate need. If you would
like to make a donation please send a check made out to 'PAWS' to to the
address below. All donations are tax deductible and greatly appreciated!
Volunteers
PAWS always needs volunteers! Rescuing strays and finding homes
for them is a lot of work and there are many different types of tasks to be
done. Would you be able to help animals by doing any of these things?
Provide temporary care to an animal in your home?
Pick up telephone messages once a week and help people who are
interested in adopting a companion animal?
Respond to email messages from people inquiring about pets on our
website?
Talk to people about our adoptable animals at adoptathons?
Coordinate new volunteers who want to help animals?
If you are interested in joining PAWS, please contact us!! Our
volunteers make it possible to improve the lives of several hundred animals
a year. If you do not live in the Cleveland, Ohio area but are interested in
joining an animal rescue group, just browse the shelters on Petfinder.
You'll be sure to find several who would appreciate your help. Email for
