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.

Rich Wilkinson

Old City Adoption Center Lead


At PAWS since:
2015 as a volunteer; 2017 as a staff member.
Pets at home:

Zachary (age 8) and Binx (age 9) plus my foster Smudge (Rex Manning).

The most rewarding thing about my job:

Watching the absolute joy and occasional tears from people finding their furry soulmate.

When I’m not at work, I’m probably:

At a local Fishtown bar for food and drinks, except for Friday and Saturday, when I am cuddled up on the couch with a legion of kitties and catching up on my DVR. Alternatives to that are concerts, a Phillies/Flyers game, or randomly traveling out of town to see the world.
