PAWS Shelter of Central Texas

Welcome to PAWS Shelter of Central Texas! Since our establishment in 1986, we have committed ourselves to providing care, love, and second chances to homeless, abandoned, and abused animals throughout Central Texas. As a proud no-kill shelter, we believe that every companion animal deserves a loving home, regardless of their past. At PAWS, we don't just shelter animals; we actively change lives. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to rescue animals from municipal shelters and offers owner surrender services to help pets in need. Every animal in our care receives necessary veterinary attention, and we provide spay and neuter surgeries to address the pet overpopulation crisis in our communities. We approach each adoption with care, employing temperament testing to ensure the best match between pets and their new families. Our commitment doesn't end with adoption; we provide lifelong support and behavior assistance, making sure our pets transition smoothly into their forever homes. Our vision aligns with creating a community that cherishes the human-animal bond, where pet overpopulation is a thing of the past, and all animals find safe and permanent homes. We are incredibly grateful to all our supporters—donors, volunteers, and community partners—who join us in our mission to foster a more humane world. With two locations in Kyle and Dripping Springs, we continue our outreach efforts through educational programs aimed at promoting responsible pet ownership. We also host offsite adoption events to give our furry friends the exposure they deserve to find their forever families. Join us in making a difference! Whether by adopting a new best friend, fostering a pet, or volunteering your time, your support is invaluable in helping us continue our work at PAWS Shelter of Central Texas. Discover how your contributions help change lives and provide the care that our shelter animals deserve.
