Every animal deserves a warm bed and a loving home.

P.A.W.S. — Placing Animals Within Society — is a no-kill shelter caring for Swain County's dogs and cats since 1990.

Ways to help

Meet the dogs and cats waiting for their forever homes.

Open your home for a little while — change a life for good.

Walk dogs, help at events, or lend a hand at the thrift store.

Every dollar goes to food, shelter, and medical care.
