URGENT: The city shelter is full, and we can’t save more animals until we have space. By adopting or fostering one pet with PAWS, you’re saving two lives: the one you bring home, and the next one we can rescue in their place.

Penelope


Penelope just arrived directly to PAWS from her previous owner, so you’ll have to excuse her awkwardness while we all get to know each other. Penelope brings some classic guinea pig vibes with her, right down to the look and the meeps, so wherever she lands next we’re sure she will excel at being adored!

Ginger Snap & Biscotti


Time to treat yourself a little bit with this delightful combo of Ginger Snap and Biscotti! This adorable sister duo was left on our front steps, but in the end that is going to be being far more serendipitous than sorrowful for them…and you! They’re classically cool and have plenty more room to grow and show off their personalities with a new family!
