PAWS Wildlife Center (Progressive Animal Welfare Society)

Whether home is the living room or the jungle, PAWS is about people assisting cats, dogs, and wild animals to go there and thrive. Our methods for achieving this include caring for and adopting out homeless cats and dogs, rehabilitating orphaned and injured wildlife, and educating the public to encourage humane behavior toward animals.

The Haus of Dogs (THoD) was inspired by a 2012 event. My first rescue, Castle, came from a high-kill facility in California that smelled of chemicals and urine and gave me headaches. There were endless rows of chained dogs, their tails wagging, paws anxiously clawing at their bars, and eyes pleading with me to let them go.

The mission of Whisker City is to improve the lives of cats and kittens who are caught in unfavorable situations. April Brown has been running Whisker City's sanctuary and rehabilitation facility for more than 30 years.

Animals who are saved will undergo a thorough medical examination by a vet. Additionally, animals will receive all necessary vaccinations, get spayed or neutered, and then be available for adoption. People who are interested in adopting must complete the relevant papers and meet the animal.

Serving the Pacific Northwest and Southwest Canada, Greyhound Pets, Inc. is a section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization devoted to the welfare of greyhounds and greyhound hybrids. We make an effort to place the dogs in our care in responsible, caring families.

Lisa Clark and Lisa Nelson, two close friends who also support animals, established Imagine Peace for Pups in the Seattle, Washington region. They quickly realized how little time is given to dogs at shelters—some are put to death in less than 24 hours.
