Through outreach and education, legislative efforts and partnerships, PAWS raises awareness of animal issues and creates a better world for animals. Since 1967, speaking out on behalf of animals and their well-being has been a cornerstone of PAWS’ mission. Read more about PAWS’ history of advocacy and victories for animals.

Read more about our current campaigns:

PAWS attends community events and speaking engagements throughout the Puget Sound Region to spread messages of compassion, encourage people to get involved with our current campaigns, and to share information about the services we provide for animals--and the people who love them. If you are interested in having a PAWS representative speak at your workplace or community group, or if you would like PAWS to attend your community event please e-mail smoss@paws.org.
