Providing Animals With Support
Our Mission
At PAWS (Providing Animals With Support), we are dedicated to saving lives in our community by rescuing animals in need, promoting adoption, and ensuring every dog and cat receives proper health care. Our philosophy is simple: Until they all have a home!
Serving Southern Utah for Over 24 Years
For more than two decades, we have proudly served Southern Utah as a local, nonprofit 501(c)(3) rescue. We rely solely on private monetary donations to fuel our work, ensuring we can provide a safety net for thousands of homeless animals in our community.
Our Compassionate Care Model
As a no-kill animal rescue, we operate as a medical rescue, stepping in for animals who are sick, injured, or require specialized rehabilitation. We prioritize assisting high-risk and overcrowded shelters, while also utilizing a dedicated network of foster families to provide kittens, puppies, and nursing moms with the quiet, nurturing environment they need to thrive before adoption.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adopting a pet is a joyful, life-changing journey, and we are here to ensure it is a success for both you and your new companion. We encourage you to visit our facility to make a meaningful connection, and our team is always happy to provide guidance on temperament, behavior, and successful introductions to your existing pets. We believe that thoughtful matching helps create lasting, loving families.
Join Our Community
Whether you are looking to open your heart to a new companion or want to support our mission, there are many ways to get involved. We invite you to browse our adoptable pets, learn more about our volunteer and foster opportunities, or visit us in St. George to see firsthand how your support helps animals find their forever homes.
