P.A.W.S. (Pauls Valley Animal Welfare Society)

P.A.W.S. (Pauls Valley Animal Welfare Society) We support the Pauls Valley Animal Shelter by coordinating volunteers, sponsoring educational programs, and fundraising.

While the shelter intakes animals within Pauls Valley City Limits, our animal welfare resources extend to all of Garvin County. Our organization is made up of over 300 members who care about animals. It is an eclectic group varying in race, age, economic and professional levels and religious affiliations. We are, however, single-minded when confronting our community problems of animal cruelty and

neglect, overpopulation and the humane treatment in which our strays and homeless dogs and cats are housed. Our goal is to relieve their suffering, do everything in our power to find them homes and provide a decent animal shelter for Garvin County.

Calling all cat lovers! 🐾💖

We are critically low on disposable litter pans (aka foil baking pans)! These humble pans play a huge role in our shelter, especially in holding areas, feral spaces, quarantine, and intake areas. They save us precious time ⏳—time that we can spend caring for the cats instead of scrubbing countless litter boxes. 🧼🐈

Even more importantly, they help us maintain top-notch cleanliness, sanitation, and disease control. 🧴🩺 For cats who aren’t yet cleared for adoption or are recovering in quarantine, these pans are a game-changer in keeping everyone safe and healthy. 🙌

We’ve added these to our Amazon Wishlist—any donation makes a big impact on our ability to care for these sweet kitties! 🛒🐾

Sometimes, the smallest creatures teach us the biggest lessons. Like this determined little tortoise, every step forward in animal welfare feels like an uphill climb. But with patience, dedication, and love, we make progress one life at a time. Let’s continue to push forward, no matter the challenges. Together, we can create a brighter future for all animals—big or small. 💚

Meet Monica, a stunning girl with a big heart and an independent streak! 🐱💖 Monica enjoys being held and loved on, but when she’s ready for her personal space, she kindly asks that you let her go. She’s a sweet and affectionate companion who loves snuggles—on her terms—and freedom when she’s done.

She’d thrive in a home where her cues are respected, making her a great fit for families with older kids or those willing to teach younger children about giving animals space when they ask for it. 🏡✨

If you’re looking for a loving and independent companion, Monica is your girl! 🐾 Could she be your perfect match?

Update: Tagged by Rescue🤩

Name: Punter
Shelter: P.A.W.S. (Pauls Valley Animal Welfare Society)

It was so nice to see a new face when we went down to Pauls Valley to volunteer! Jill was able to capture this adorable photo of Punter while we were there🥹.

Punter is a very laidback kind of dog! He just sort of followed us wherever we went, eager to be out of the kennel and on and adventure😍. He is likely dog friendly, was slightly scared of a cat that hissed at him😅, and I have no doubt that he’d love kids. He’s just so happy!!🥹

Have you visited your local shelter recently and captured some cute photos or have some cute bio notes on a dog? Reach out to me and I’d love to post them for you.

Meet Pete, the perfect little shelled companion! 🐢 Pete is a gentle and curious tortoise who loves munching on fresh greens, exploring his habitat, and basking in the sunlight. He’s low-maintenance and full of personality, making him a great fit for a home ready to provide him with the care he needs to thrive.

Tortoises like Pete need a warm, secure enclosure, access to UV lighting for their health, and a diet rich in leafy greens and occasional fruits or veggies. Pete’s ideal family would enjoy learning more about the unique needs of tortoises and providing him with a safe, loving environment where he can flourish.

If you’re ready to make Pete a part of your life, come meet him at the Pauls Valley Animal Shelter!

📍 Visit us at 300 E Airport Industrial Road.
⏰ We’re open Mon-Sat 10 AM-5 PM, Sun 1 PM-5 PM.

Reebok

Reebok Update 💙 Our sweet Reebok continues to show us how resilient he is. His neck is gradually healing, though it’s a long and slow process. In this video, he’s enjoying some much-deserved senior bisque while snuggled up on a cozy blanket. He’s proof that a little love and care go a long way. Thank you to everyone who has supported his recovery so far—your kindness is making all the difference! If you’d like to help Reebok or other animals like him, please check out our donation options. 💕 #ReebokStrong #HealingJourney #PaulsValleyAnimalWelfare

Reebok is fighting with everything he has to get better 💔. Covered in wounds and weak from his struggles, this sweet soul still manages to show love—gently making biscuits and nuzzling for comfort in the arms of our shelter director, Christopher Hurley. His recovery will be long, but with your help, we can make sure he gets everything he needs. Our Amazon Wishlist is filled with critical supplies that help not just Reebok but so many others who come through our doors broken and in need of healing: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1E005B5HX7QTL?ref_=wl_share. Every item purchased brings us closer to giving Reebok and others the care they deserve. You can also donate via Cash App ($PVAnimalWelfare) or on our website: https://pvpaws4pets.com/donate/. 💔 They didn’t deserve what happened to them, but they do deserve a second chance. Please help us give that to them. #ReebokTheFighter #SecondChances #HealingHearts #DonateToSaveLives #PawsForACause #AnimalRescue #SupportShelterAnimals
