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

He's our kinda guy...

Stephen Knight finds temporary homes for dogs while their owners spend time in rehab.

His organization covers expenses for the foster family, and provides post-release services, support, and sometimes financial assistance post rehab to help human participants succeed with their sobriety.

Now, he is CNN's Hero of the Year.

🎄🐶 Meet Chloe! 🐾

"Tell me the truth—does this elf hat make me look fat? Or does my sweetness shine through this ridiculous costume?" – Chloe

We promise she’s even cuter in person, even if she insists she doesn’t photograph well. Chloe is full of love, and charm, and she’s looking for a forever home where she can ditch the costumes and be her wonderful self.

If you can see past the hat and into her big heart, Chloe will be your new best friend.

Good news from the vet today: Annie (who the vet thought might have a cruciate ligament partial tear) is on the mend! She's still recuperating, gradually adding mild activity this week... a Christmas miracle. Or close to one.

🐾 It’s Giving Tuesday! 🐾
Today’s the perfect day to support causes you believe in, and we’re asking for your help to continue our life-changing work.

💙 Our Programs:
• In A New Leash on Life, the men at the prison save the dogs, and the dogs save the men. Every homeless dog gets trained and adopted, and not one of our men has returned to prison after release.
• In A New Start in Life, domestic violence survivors can focus on rebuilding their lives knowing we’re providing safe care for their beloved pets.

Take Annie, for example She came to us with a heartbreaking past—skin and eye infections, worms and diarrhea, and worn-down teeth from chewing rocks. She was likely chained all her life.

She’s now part of our program and receiving the love and care she’s always deserved. Recently, after playing for once in her life with another dog, she injured her right back leg and couldn't stand on it.

Late yesterday afternoon, the vet gave her a good physical exam, including x-rays, and said she likely has a cruciate injury or tear. She's now on meds and needs to be completely off her leg for a good while.

For dogs like Annie, we never give up. But this work has costs.

Please donate today to help save more lives, one paw at a time. 🐾

It was a little chilly, but Chloe, Molly, and Orion shone at our Adoption Fair last Saturday at Pet Supermarket in !

(Little Annie couldn’t join us as she hurt her leg. She’s seeing the vet today, and we’ll update you on this sweet girl soon.)

These three have been in our program barely TWO weeks and were absolute CHAMPS—friendly with everyone, great with kids and adults, and easy for our volunteers (also CHAMPS!) to handle. From strays to shelters to prison, they amazed us with their calm and charm at a bustling shopping center.

Big thanks to our W-S Dog Training Club instructors for selecting such wonderful dogs. After the fair, it was heartwarming to see how happy they were to return to prison and reunite with their trainers—they’ve already bonded.

We’ve never seen anyone so thrilled to be back in prison! 🐾❤🐾

Orion or 'Rion, as his trainer, John, calls him (to get his attention more quickly) is as happy a puppy as we've ever met. He is FULL of puppy energy and in love with life!

This boy with gorgeous eyes is doing his very best to be the best boy ever.

He'll bring lots of loving energy to his forever family.

Oh, Sweet lil Annie!

It seems that she was most likely chained; she circles, circles, and circles and her bottom teeth are worn down, likely from chewing on rocks.

Sometimes chained dogs chew out of boredom; sometimes to try and get water out of the rocks.

However, Annie is embracing her new leash on life and she is so sweet and forgiving, craving affection. After all that we think she's been through. she and her trainer Dennis are already close. ❤🐾❤
