About this shelter

Proving Animals are Worth Saving (PAAWS) in Evansville, IN

Proving Animals are Worth Saving (PAAWS) is a no-kill animal rescue located about 2 miles south of Evansville, Indiana, in Vanderburgh County, where 3 other animal shelters or rescues also operate. PAAWS serves as the premier no-kill rescue for the Tri-State area spanning Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky, and operates as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Rather than housing animals in a shelter building, PAAWS relies entirely on volunteers who foster every dog and cat in their own homes. The organization rescues neglected, abused, and unwanted pets, providing medical care and a safe environment until they are placed in permanent, loving homes.
