We Shall Lead, Protect, Heal, Comfort and Shelter Those Who Cannot Speak for Themselves.

By working together, we can end the senseless killing of healthy, adoptable animals through education that promotes responsible pet ownership.

Paw Works is a nonprofit rescue organization that partners with county and city shelters to give abandoned animals a second chance at life. Through pet adoption and community programs, we focus on responsible pet ownership and solutions that address animal overpopulation and abandonment.

Responsibility

Pet overpopulation has become a national crisis. According to the Humane Society:

  • Every 13 seconds, a healthy, adoptable dog or cat is euthanized in a U.S. shelter.
  • Almost 3 million pets are put down in shelters every year, and about 80 percent of them are healthy and could have been adopted into new homes.

Our mission is to drive transformative change in animal rescue, one pet at a time, as we expand the “No Kill” county model throughout California. We are working to promote pet ownership through education and programs that offer free spaying and neutering, training and veterinary care in underserved and low-income areas.
