"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead

Vision:
PAWS seeks a time when there are no homeless companion animals in south central Pennsylvania. Strategies:
•Facilitating the spaying and neutering of owned and unowned animals.
•Rescuing, fostering, and finding permanent homes for stray, abused, abandoned and otherwise homeless animals.
•Collaboration with other humane organizations.
•Raising awareness of the plight of homeless animals a

nd ways in which individuals can reduce overpopulation. PAWS aspires to best practices established by well-respected organizations such as: Best Friends, Alley Cat Allies, Neighborhood Cats, Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project, and Best Friends' No More Homeless Pets movement, and understanding what the No Kill Movement is all about - and how it relates to PAWS which subscribes to the No Kill Philosophy.

🎆Fireworks Scare Pets🎆
Please keep your pets safe during this holiday weekend.
Do not take dogs to fireworks displays. Make sure dogs are safe inside your home. Make sure your cat's and other pets have distractions and again are safe inside your home.
It's great to celebrate and it's even better to celebrate safely for your family and neighbors.

😺❤️Foster Homes Needed😺❤️
Fostering is a rewarding experience. Not only does fostering save the lives of homeless cats, it offers companionship and learning opportunities for the foster family.

Just look at these little darlings safe and sound in a loving foster home. 😂😂😂

Geez, we don't know if we should send help to the foster mom Jen or run and hide from their judging eyes. Jen is definitely enjoying and learning from this group of kittens. 😹😹😹

Let us know if you'd like to experience the joys of fostering. We're positive we can find even more judgemental kittens in need of a place to hang out.

As the first real heat of the summer sets in over the next few days...PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE!!! There is no need for preventable suffering and even death of any animal during this heat wave. In addition to info in pics...consider leaving some water out for local wildlife/feral cats too!!

We took in a long-haired cat at our clinic. She was so badly matted we don't even know how she was able to move. She was definitely in a lot of pain.
We needed to shave her, the mats were so tight and caked with f***s and urine. We removed over one pound of matted fur.
This kitty was in a home where the person was physically unable to keep up with the care required for a long-haired cat. While intervention should have come sooner, we are thankful she is now in our care and recovering comfortably.
Stay tuned for photos of her looking gorgeous and pain free.

If you have a cat with long hair, you need to do daily grooming.

🌈 Using World Pet Memorial Day to pay tribute to this guy right here, Rocky.
We've been holding off posting. Guess once we post about him, it's really real.
We said good-bye to Rocky at the end of May. 😪
Rocky was the dude in charge at PAWS. He came to us when we were working on a 100+ cat colony. He called PAWS home for almost 11 years. He had quite the attitude. He was an ankle biter, a knee nibblery, a flip-flop destroyer and an unlicensed phlebotomist. 😂
He was also sweet, fun and a friend to all. He was officially the water taster and the nosey one.
Rocky mellowed in his retirement years but still had s***k. We'll be telling Rocky stories for years to come. His legacy will live on.
We love him and miss him like crazy.

Jack's fluffing his bed for the night.
You can meet him at Lebanon PetSmart. He'd love to test out the beds at your house. His stuffie comes with him, package deal. 😺

Let's see cute pics of your pets getting ready for bed.

Look at this little nugget. So stinking cute.
Found alone in a parking lot. Far too young to be by himself. Continuing our theme of working together, huge THANKS goes to Animal Assistance Program for keeping baby safe and transporting to our foster home.
You know what we say is true,

The only way we can continue to rescue sweet littles like this is if we have foster homes available. It's a rewarding and wonderful experience. Message us if you'd like more info.
