    very clean. staff is beyond caring, knowledgeable & compassionate. all the animals looked healthy &…read morehappy. good experience all around!! xoxoxo

    My 14yr old little ShihTzu passed away and after a few months I was ready to get another little dog…read morein need of love and a warm safe home. For me it was more about finding the right dog rather than focusing on which shelter because I am grateful for all of the shelters, HSSI, St. Francis, Wrightway, Crittergal etc... I drove down to PAWS on a Sunday in the rain close to closing one February. I walked in and told Karee about my dog and how I just wanted a good friend that was a smallish, youngish, adult dog that gets along with other dogs and cats. At first I was a little surprised that I wasn't able to go back and look at the different dogs, but she listened to what I was looking for and said, I'm going to show you Blackie. She brought out a little long stocky black and brindle boy with a white blaze on his chest who didn't know what was going on. I visited with him and he felt just right when he jumped up and finally sat on my lap. I thought about it and called her on my way home and told her I wanted him. I had filled out the adoption app and showed her tons of pics of my past dogs who I have been lucky to have. I know that it has been hard finding staff enough to try and care for all the animals that PAWS tries to save and I know that Karee loves each of the animals she takes into her care - - some of them that she has adopted out have shown back up at PAWS maybe 3 yrs later in horrible shape, neglected. And I have volunteered at shelters before. It is a tough spot to be in because it is on you to be a guardian of these dogs and cats and to put them in a safe loving environment. And maybe sometimes you can be overcautious or protective to a fault. And maybe they aren't always the most friendly or obliging to everyone who calls. But, remember they are on the front lines, seeing animals in dire conditions in numbers such that it is so hard to save them all. They have seen people they thought would give their animals good homes fail. They are not in this for donations/money....they do it because they love animals enough to endure the heartache that comes with trying to ease the pain, hunger, suffering, fear, bad situations like when an owner dies and their loved pet has no one to care for them. I am so grateful for people like all the rescues mentioned above because I am not sure I would have the strength for it. And I would never try to steer anyone away from a place that is trying to save animals lives in rescue. Even if I were denied and I felt that it was wrong of them to deny me because I know I am a good owner, I would never go online and try to cast aspersions on an animal rescue. I know I could find a place to adopt an animal from...there are plenty of animals in need. Also, there may be lots of applicants for one particular animal and in my opinion I don't necessarily think it should be first come, first serve with an animal...the animal should go to the applicant who they think would give it the best home. That's my take on PAWS. They do this as a labor of love.
