We are thrilled to share that PAWS has been recognized as a 2025 Philly Favorite by the Philadelphia Inquirer! Thanks to the overwhelming support of our community—and more than 339,000 votes cast—PAWS earned Silver in the Favorite Veterinarian category and Bronze in the Favorite Nonprofit Organization category.

This recognition is meaningful to us because it reflects the community we are honored to work with every day. Our mission is to make veterinary care affordable and accessible for Philadelphia pet owners, and to rescue and find loving homes for the city’s most vulnerable pets. Every service we provide and every life we save is made possible by the supporters, adopters, fosters, volunteers, and donors who believe in our work.

From all of us at PAWS: thank you for your votes, your trust, and your partnership help create a city where every pet is safe, loved, and cared for.
