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

Lenaโ€™s Ready for a New Adventureโ€”With You! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’–

Meet Lena, the adorable, scruffy little survivor whoโ€™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 itโ€™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. Sheโ€™s got a soft, Poodle-like coat, a heart full of love, and the cutest little stubby tail that wags when she feels safe. Sheโ€™s a little shy at first, but with treats and gentle encouragement, she blossoms into the sweetest girl.

Weโ€™re not quite sure of her breedโ€”Doodle? Schnauzer? Adorable Muppet? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธโ€”but we do know sheโ€™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, sheโ€™s always down for the ride or a snuggle session!

Give Gabby the happy ending she deserves! Learn more: https://www.paw-alliance.org/gabby

Winnie Needs a Loving Home โ€“ Could It Be Yours? ๐Ÿพ

Some dogs are born to fetch, some love to runโ€ฆ but Winnie? She was born to love. โค๏ธ At 5 years old, sheโ€™s a little older than our usual New Leash on Life dogs, but that just means sheโ€™s already perfected what she does bestโ€”being your most loyal, loving, snuggly companion.

Winnie isnโ€™t looking for adventureโ€”sheโ€™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 whoโ€™s happy just being by your side.

๐Ÿพ Loves cuddling more than anything
๐Ÿพ The ultimate Netflix binge-watching buddy
๐Ÿพ Perfect for a relaxed, cozy home
๐Ÿพ Full of love, just waiting for someone to share it with

Let's Wrap Up the Week with A Heartwarming Tail of Love and Second Chances!

We recently got an update on Simone, a truly special pup who graduated from our New Leash on Life program last spring. Simone is deaf, but that didnโ€™t stop her from thriving thanks to her incredible trainer, Terry.

With hand signals, body language, and lots of love, Terry helped Simone gain the skills and confidence she needed to find her forever home.

Today, Simone is living her best life with her mom, Jessica, who recently shared some adorable photos and updates. It's clear that Simone has found her happy placeโ€”and we couldnโ€™t be more thrilled!

Every dog deserves a chance to shine, no matter their challenges, and Simone is proof that love and patience can work wonders.

We are ALWAYS looking for more volunteers and fosters!

Volunteers can help in a wide variety of ways, there is no set amount of required hours you have to volunteer and in addition to being fun, meeting new people, youโ€™re making a difference!

Fosters are also always needed for both our programs - for New Leash on Life, youโ€™d foster approximately 2-3 weeks at a time and for New Start in Life, youโ€™d foster approximately 2 months.

PAW Alliance New Lease on Life & New Start in Life provides crate, crate mat, leash, collar, food, treats, toy, and vet care during the fostering time.

Please contact us if youโ€™re interested in either/both and also please share with friends and family!

Chloe had an amazing meeting with her new parents at the prison, where they connected beautifully and learned all about her unique cuesโ€”it was pure love all around! ๐Ÿพ

Come cheer her on at her graduation next Wednesday, 1/22, at 5:30 PM at K9 Coaching Academy, 8151 North Point Blvd. Donโ€™t miss this heartwarming celebration with Chloe and the other incredible pups! (Hint turn up your volume !)

๐Ÿพ Help Us Help Them! ๐Ÿพ

Over time, our supplies for the dogs in our prison training program wear down, and weโ€™re in need of donations to keep things running smoothly! Hereโ€™s how you can help:

๐Ÿ’› What We Need:
โœ”๏ธ Gently used bath towels, sheets, and blankets for the dogs
โœ”๏ธ Large or XL plastic crate liners (cracked ones are okay as long as theyโ€™re still usable!)

๐Ÿ“ฆ Why It Matters:
These items provide comfort for the dogs and help create privacy barriers between crates, ensuring a better experience for everyone involved.

๐Ÿ“ง How to Donate:
If youโ€™d like to donate, please contact Stacy to coordinate:
๐Ÿ“ฉ Email: [email protected]
๐Ÿ“ฑ Call or Text: 336-596-5672

Your support makes a huge difference in the lives of these dogs and the men who care for them. Thank you for helping us continue this meaningful work! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ
