After you adopt
Thank you for adopting your new cat or dog from PAWS and giving a homeless animal a second chance! If you need advice or guidance along the way or simply want to let us know how your new companion is settling in, we are here for you.
Keep in touch
PAWS wants to keep in touch so we can help you bond with your new companion.
ID tags and licensing
Don’t risk losing your precious companion. Purchase a personalized ID tag at PAWS Companion Animal Shelter in Lynnwood for $5. We also sell some local city pet licenses at our adoption centers.
Pet behavior help
PAWS offers free assistance and information on pet behavior to families who adopt from PAWS Companion Animal Shelter and PAWS Cat City.
Can't keep your pet?
PAWS believes in lifelong commitments to companion animals but we understand there may be reasons why a guardian wishes to re-home their dog or cat.

Sponsor a kennel
Your gift helps homeless cats and dogs find loving families. A plaque with your name and personal message will be displayed on your kennel. You'll receive a similar plaque to proudly display at home or work.
Consider fostering
By offering your time, energy and home to a dog or cat in need of extra care, you help prepare them for adoption into a permanent home as well as prevent overcrowding in our shelter.
