Meet/Adopt the Animals
PAWS' sanctuaries are home to rescued, abused, abandoned or retired captive wild animals.
At PAWS' sanctuaries rescued animals live in peaceful, natural habitats — free from fear, chains, and harsh confinement. They are at complete liberty to act out natural behaviors in the comfort of their individually designed enclosures. PAWS animals are not bred, traded, sold, rented or forced to perform in any way.
“Meet the Animals” living at our sanctuaries:
If you would like to help one of our animals, consider becoming an “adoptive parent,” or giving a PAWS adoption as a gift to an animal lover in your life.
PAWS' adoptions are symbolic adoptions only. No animal will be sent!
Adopt* A PAWS Animal For Yourself Or To Give As A Gift
Adopting a PAWS animal helps us provide nutritious food, veterinarian care and an enriching habitat for your animal — and you’ll have the satisfaction that comes from knowing you’re making a difference in the life of a PAWS animal.
Adoptive parents receive:
- Biography of their adopted animal
- Certificate of adoption and a color photograph
- Periodic mailings and invitations to special events
- PAWS online E-NEWS (Adoptive parent’s email address must be provided. Recipient may opt out at any time and no email address will ever be sold or given away.)
- Opportunities to take direct action to help captive wildlife
