Knox PAWS

Knox PAWS Knoxville-Knox County CAC Office on Aging's Knox PAWS (Placing Animals With Seniors) program matches qualifying seniors with homeless, adoptable animals.

Knox PAWS (Placing Animals With Seniors) matches eligible seniors with adoptable pets. Research indicates that pets improve seniorsโ€™ physical, emotional, and mental health. The Knox PAWS program works with area animal shelters to match senior pets with senior citizens. Office on Agingโ€™s staff match income-eligible seniors with adoptable older pets. Program participants must be 60 years of age or o

lder, residents of Knox County, income-eligible, and live independently in a pet-friendly environment. Pets adopted by Knox PAWS participants are provided with continued veterinary exams, vaccinations, heartworm/flea prevention, and other pet supplies or services as needed. The Feed-A-Pet program is for seniors that already own pets, but struggle to buy food. The program is a partnership between the Office on Aging and The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine.

Why should you give to Knox PAWS and Feed-A-Pet? 100% of your donation goes to one of the following services: adoption fees, grooming, transportation to appointments, veterinary visits, flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, dental exams/extractions, medicine, food, supplies (leashes, collars, toys, food dishes, beds, clothing, p*e pads, litter, etc.), and end of life services (euthanasia, cremation, and a nose/paw print of the beloved pet). All of these services care for the animal, and support the owner, from the point of adoption until they pass over the rainbow bridge.

Your furry friends may be saying, "Is it Thanksgiving yet, or do I have to wait fur-ever?" Before you give them some mashed paw-tatoes and gravy, look over these lists of common Thanksgiving foods to see what is considered generally safe to share with the furbabies. Remember, everything in moderation, and always consult your vet if you have questions!
