Piedmont Animal Welfare Alliance is an animal welfare & social justice nonprofit in Forsyth County, NC. We envision a world where no person or animal will be thrown away, and our mission is to make our community one where all pets and people have safe and loving homes. www.paw-alliance.org


To fulfill our mission, we have two programs:
A New Leash on Life prison dog-training program: Saving Men's

Lives, One Dog at a Time. Shelter dogs in need of training receive 10 weeks of training: crate- and house-training; obedience training, advanced obedience, and some agility. Qualified inmate-trainers work under the volunteer guidance of instructors from the W-S Dog Training Club. All dogs are spay/neutered, fully vaccinated and under veterinary care. This program changes the lives of both dogs AND men, who perhaps for the first time, receive unconditional love. Our trainers' recidivism rate, since 2015, is 0%! All our dogs are adopted into loving homes. OUR DOGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Please go to https:www.paw-alliance.org/adopt

Our second program, A New Start in Life, offers temporary loving care for domestic violence survivors' pets. We provide foster care, medical care, and all necessities while the survivor is in the d.v. We ALWAYS need volunteers and fosters. Please reach out to us. www.paw-alliance.org/volunteer and www.paw-alliance.org/foster

From homelessness to hope—our sweet dogs are settling into their new journey. For Lena, who was heartbreakingly abandoned with her five puppies, and for the others who have known nothing but uncertainty, this could have been just another stop.

But this time, it's different.They've found themselves in an unexpected place—a prison. But here, they are surrounded by kindness, patience, and love. Their trainers are giving them something they’ve never had before: stability, connection, and a chance to thrive.

With every name learned and every tail wag, their transformation begins.Soon, they’ll be ready for forever homes. Could that be yours? share their story—because every dog deserves love. ❤️

Lena’s Ready for a New Adventure—With You! 🐶💖

Meet Lena, the adorable, scruffy little survivor who’s looking for a fresh start and a forever home! She may have arrived at the shelter with five teenage puppies in tow (talk about a full-time job!), but now it’s her turn to be spoiled and loved.

At around 3 years old and 39 pounds, Lena is the perfect size for cuddles, car rides, and being your most loyal sidekick. She’s got a soft, Poodle-like coat, a heart full of love, and the cutest little stubby tail that wags when she feels safe. She’s a little shy at first, but with treats and gentle encouragement, she blossoms into the sweetest girl.

We’re not quite sure of her breed—Doodle? Schnauzer? Adorable Muppet? 🤷‍♀️—but we do know she’s 100% ready to be your new best friend!

Gabby is the perfect road trip buddy, errand companion, and couch-snuggling co-driver. Whether you're cruising to the park or just pulling into the drive-thru for a pup cup, she’s always down for the ride or a snuggle session!

Winnie Needs a Loving Home – Could It Be Yours? 🐾

Some dogs are born to fetch, some love to run… but Winnie? She was born to love. ❤️ At 5 years old, she’s a little older than our usual New Leash on Life dogs, but that just means she’s already perfected what she does best—being your most loyal, loving, snuggly companion.

Winnie isn’t looking for adventure—she’s looking for you. A soft place to rest her head, a warm lap to curl up in, a quiet home where she can spend her days soaking up love and giving it right back. She would be perfect for an older couple or a family who wants a gentle, calm companion who’s happy just being by your side.

🐾 Loves cuddling more than anything
🐾 The ultimate Netflix binge-watching buddy
🐾 Perfect for a relaxed, cozy home
🐾 Full of love, just waiting for someone to share it with
