Not looking to adopt? You can still make a difference by shopping for wishlist items to donate to PAWS in store! 🙏

Join us for a special adoption event as part of National Adoption Week at PetSmart! Stop by PetSmart at Broad & Washington on Saturday 10/24 12-2 p.m. to meet adoptable cats, take advantage of exclusive savings on PetSmart products for adopters & learn how you can support our lifesaving mission 🧵

Want to help these sisters stay together, feel safe & remember what it’s like to relax in a home? 💌 Email [email protected] to learn more!

Per their human, Hailey (orange spots) is more introverted than her sister, but loves wet food & treats & will play with Bella when inspiration strikes. Bella is more extroverted & can be quite chatty to boot! They’re both ~4 years old & looking for a place to crash through the end of December.

Through PAWS’ Safety Net Foster Program, pets with owners facing a short-term crisis are matched with temporary homes rather than being permanently surrendered to our care. This helps ensure families can stay together, just as they should be 💛

Hailey & Bella are such a sweet pair! These ladies may be at the shelter right now, but they actually have a family who loves them very much. Can you foster them for a couple of months until they can be reunited? 🧵

A kitten low on brain cells? Delightful. A shelter low on supplies? Disastrous! We're in urgent need of kitten food, paper towels & churu treats to keep our furry friends fed, clean & thriving. If you can send or drop off supplies, Sawyer & her friends would be very grateful! 🧵

Have room for an adorable roomie (or 2!) & down to party with a piggie for a few weeks? We’d love to match you with a guinea pig to foster (or adopt)! We can also provide supplies to fosters if it's your first time taking home a guinea 🐽 💌 Interested? Email [email protected] to learn more!

Looking for a new friend, but want to start small? Take home a piggy pal like Pepita! We have lots of little ones who’d love to add some snuggles & squeaks to your life. Fosters are needed now so we can rescue even more piggies who need us 🧵

Though his long-term prognosis could change, he’s currently a happy, thriving boy thanks to his daily medication & special diet. In return, you’ll get a once-in-a-lifetime companion who thinks you’re the best person in the world. 💌 Want to learn more? Drop us a line at [email protected]!

At 2-3 years old, Bubba has lots of goofy enthusiasm but channels it well when training treats are involved. He’s house-trained, does well free-roaming at home & even puts himself to bed in his crate! Bubba is looking for someone who can give a little extra TLC due to a congenital heart defect ❤️‍🩹

Per his foster, Bubba is “a baby in a big guy’s body” who approaches every day with joy & every human with love. When he isn’t charming everyone he meets, he’s usually busy goofing off with his toys or snuggling up with his people 🩷 Yes, Bubba is a 50-pound lap dog & no, it doesn’t ever get old!

Breaking news: Local man remains extremely lovable & somehow still single! Bubba is a young, sweet & endlessly entertaining guy with a big personality & an even bigger heart. Equal parts cuddle bug, comedian & adventure buddy, he’s the kind of dog who can make you laugh & love him more each day 🧵
