PAWS’ Old City Adoption Center is housing cats and guinea pigs, and prioritizes approved adopters with appointments. Walk-ins are welcome as space permits. PAWS cats are also available for adoption at PetSmart, 1415 Washington Avenue! Dog adoptions are by appointment at our Grays Ferry location or directly from foster homes. Our Northeast Adoption Center remains closed.

When you adopt a pet from PAWS, you truly save a life. PAWS is the city’s largest rescue partner and is dedicated to making Philadelphia a no-kill city where every savable pet is guaranteed a home.
