PAWS of Grays Harbor
Our Mission
PAWS of Grays Harbor is dedicated to protecting dogs and cats until they can be united with a loving family. We are proud to serve as a beacon of hope for animals in our community, ensuring every life is valued and cared for with compassion.
A Legacy of Care
Established as a nonprofit in June of 1973, we have been proudly serving the Grays Harbor community for over 50 years from our home in Aberdeen, Washington. Throughout our history, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to providing a safe haven for lost, abandoned, and unwanted pets, helping more than 500 animals find new, loving homes every single year.
Our No-Kill Promise
As a private, no-kill shelter, we operate with a deep commitment to positive outcomes for every animal in our care. We do not euthanize to make space, which means our residents stay with us—whether at our facility or in one of our dedicated foster homes—until they find the perfect match. This approach ensures that every pet receives the time and individual attention they need to thrive before beginning their next chapter.
Your Partner in Adoption
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you find a companion who fits your lifestyle and heart. Because we prioritize thoughtful matching, we encourage you to start your journey by exploring our available pets online or visiting our shelter to meet our wonderful cats and dogs. By choosing to adopt a rescue animal, you are directly saving a life and creating the space for us to help another pet in need.
