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.

Shop, Dine, and Save Lives



May 28, 2025 update:
Thank you, Philadelphia, for making the 9th annual Philly Loves PAWS on May 14, 2025 such a success! We’re so grateful to the local businesses, volunteers, and supporters who came together to lift up Philly’s pets and the community that cares for them. Stay tuned for updates on funds raised—and keep an eye out in the coming months for details on Philly Loves PAWS 2026!

Join us as businesses and animal lovers come together for a daylong, citywide fundraiser in support of PAWS’ lifesaving efforts. A wide variety of restaurants, shops, and service providers will donate at least 10% of sales to PAWS. Over the past 8 years, hundreds of different shops, restaurants, cafes, salons, gyms, etc. have taken part in this special community event. In return, participating businesses receive PR support to maximize awareness and weekday foot traffic, all while bringing Philadelphia closer to becoming a no-kill city where every savable pet is guaranteed a home.
