Matching Gift Challenge

Matching Gift
Campaign Update

Your generosity is amazing! Thanks to you, we only need to raise about $4,000 to meet our $30,000 goal. Once we reach it, Stone Valley Pet Lodge will match that with another $30,000. Cats and dogs come to us through no fault of their own. Because you donate, PAWS can give them the best care possible until they are adopted. You can make your gift today and double your impact!

Kitten Days of Summer Wrap Up

Because you adopted, our Kitten Days of Summer promotion was a great success! 74 kittens were adopted in July and 53 found forever homes in August. Thank you to the very generous donor who made this promotion possible. PAWS still has many kittens who are waiting to meet their new best friend. Check them out on our website and then stop by PAWS to see them!

BB&T Bank just joined PAWS as a new Universal Sponsor! Universal Sponsors are businesses or individuals who provide support to ALL of our special events. BB&T joins By The Numbers; Designer’s Denn Salon and Spa; Metzger Animal Hospital; and Stone Valley Pet Lodge as Universal Sponsors.

Ralph (Doc Koda)

"Thank you all for everything you do for wonderful animals like Ralph here! He's the perfect addition to our family, fits right in, and is so loving. We can't imagine our lives without him."

Bowie, adopted from PAWS

Agatha (Katie Did)

"Katie Did goes by Agatha now (because like Agatha Christie, everything is a mystery to her), and she has obviously made herself very comfortable in our house. She got over her shyness in a matter of minutes and turned into a rambunctious and cuddly kitten who loves spending time in our laps. Thank you PAWS for taking care of her and letting us bring her home!"

PAWSome Kids Brooke and Macie

Welcome back students!

Welcome back students! If you miss your family pet, please think about about giving our cats and dogs some love.

We always have a need for more dog volunteers, especially for our morning dog walking shifts. It’s a great way to get exercise and make new friends - both canine and human. Click here to learn more about dog care training.

You’ll feel the love for sure when you volunteer for a cat shift, especially at feeding time! They love their food and attention - and we’d love to have more cat volunteers. Click here to learn more about joining our cat volunteer team.
