About

Our Mission

The Pauls Valley Animal Welfare Society was founded as a charitable, non-profit organization focusing energies toward the improvement of animal welfare in our local area. The immediate goal in 2000 was to build a humane animal shelter.  Today, we strive to provide compassionate care for lost and abandoned animals while they wait to find their new homes.  As a no-kill shelter, we work diligently to give each animal attention, a clean environment, adequate food and healthcare prior to their adoption.  When we create better spaces for these animals, we are creating better outcomes, too.

About Pauls Valley Animal Welfare Society

This is one of the cleanest and honestly happiest shelters I’ve been to! The animals are healthy and loved more than words can truly express. They have been recently making the overall environment a more positive and bright place to be. If you’re having a bad day, go out there and see the cats in their room. You will leave with such a smile! The volunteer and employees are some of the kindest people. Chris and his crew have taken this place from just a place to bring an animal to, to a place where not only do the animals feel safe and loved, but you will as well. His mission is loud and clear, save every animal, find it the best home, educate people. Absolutely love it all!! Pauls Valley was blessed the day he came in their doors and these animals and humans all know it!

I visited PAWS recently and was blown away by how amazing it is! The staff and director are incredibly dedicated and caring, they go above and beyond to ensure each animal is well-loved and looked after. The shelter itself is clean, organized, and welcoming. I am impressed by the shelter's commitment to animal welfare and their passion for finding forever homes for these sweet fur babies. If you're considering adopting a pet, I highly recommend visiting this shelter, you won't be disappointed!!

This facility is AWESOME. Everyone who works here is really cool and you can tell that they love animals. The animals are great, they're well taken care of and happy. The kennels are always clean and I regularly see volunteers and staff playing with the animals and taking them out on walks.

I have adopted 2 dogs from this facility. One was about 10-12 years old when we got her. We had her for 6 years. And the other we got when he was a puppy, he is now 5 years old. The facility has approved greatly and would recommend anyone to adopt a dog or cat from PV Animal Shelter. The animals are well taken care of and get the care they need.
