Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society

United States - Pennsylvania - Philadelphia

Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, known as PAWS, is a Philadelphia nonprofit that rescues and places homeless pets while providing foster care, low-cost veterinary services, spay-and-neuter care, and support for pet owners.

Creating more paths from homelessness to a family

PAWS rescues cats and dogs, cares for them in its facilities and foster homes, and connects them with adopters. Its work is designed to create space for additional animals in need while supporting responsible, lasting placements.

Adoption, foster care, and affordable veterinary help

Official programs include cat and dog adoption, foster care, low-cost spay and neuter, wellness and sick visits, vaccinations, community-cat services, and selected assistance for pet owners. Appointments, eligibility, and available services should be confirmed directly with PAWS.
