PAWS provides medical care to dogs in the City Dog Pound and fosters unclaimed pound dogs and strays that are adoptable, providing them with medical care, vet services, and a safe haven until a good home is found. At times, PAWS must donate funds and resources to other non-profit rescue groups in order to properly foster and care for adoptable animals.
