Protecting Animal Welfare Society

Our Mission

WE ARE A STATE LICENSED, 501c3 NO-KILL ANIMAL RESCUE GROUP.  OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE LOCATION FOR ANIMALS IN OUR AREA TO REST, RECOOPERATE AND FIND A NEW HOME.  FURTHER, WE DO OUR BEST TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ON THE PROPER CARE OF THEIR OWN ANIMALS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS NEEDING TO COME IN TO THE SHELTER SYSTEM.  WORKING WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES WILL CREATE A DIFFERENT MINDSET, TEACHING FAMILIES HOW TO BE RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERS.


WE BEGAN IN JAN 2011 AND HAVE PLACED OVER 8,000 ANIMALS IN OUR YEARS OF OPERATION. SAVED OVER 1065 ANIMALS.  WE PURCHASED OUR FACILITY IN 2013 AND HAVE WIRKED DILIGENTLY TO PROVIDE A COMFORTABLE AND SECURE PLACE FOR THEM UNTIL ADOPTED. WE DEPEND ON COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND YOUR GENEROUS  DONATIONS TO HELP US OPERATE. WE ARE RAPIDLY APPROACHING 9000 ANIMALS WHO HAVE BEEN SAVED THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF OUR VOLUNTEERS.
