About this shelter
Paws Animal Rescue in Pierre, SD
Paws Animal Rescue is a rescue organization based in Pierre, South Dakota, located about 120 miles northeast of Aberdeen, SD. It is an all-volunteer, foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has been dedicated to the welfare of abandoned and lost cats and dogs since 1979, serving the Pierre and Fort Pierre area. The rescue relies on fostering to save animals and prepare them for adoption, and it is open Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with appointments also available. Community support comes through adoption, fostering, volunteering, and donations that help cover veterinary care, food, and supplies for animals awaiting their forever homes.
