PAAWS RI

Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue was founded in 2017 to provide stray cats with a secure place to remain until they could be adopted into loving homes rather than being released back to the hardships of outdoor life after being accepted into Trap- Neuter- Release (TNR) programs and found to be tame or tamable.

Thank you for visiting Operation Pawsibility Project Dog Rescue, or simply OPP. We are a nonprofit, all-breed dog rescue organization situated in Rhode Island.

A 501 (c) 3 non-profit group called Friends of the Warwick Animal Shelter provides assistance to the animals kept there. Since we are volunteers, all money raised through fundraisers and contributions is used to rescue animals.

As a nonprofit shelter, we are dedicated to saving, providing for, and placing companion animals in loving homes. We shall continue to work towards creating humane communities and support the important morals of kindness, respect, and responsibility for animals.

The West Warwick Animal Shelter is who we are. Animals in need of new homes are housed and adopted out by us.

Animal Control Officer Lori Rivard established West Warwick Angels Caring for Animals Inc. in 2008. It was created to cover the costs of any medical operations for animals at the West Warwick Animal Shelter that weren't spay/neuter surgeries.
