the paws difference

Tackling animal welfare issues at both ends of the leash.

PAWS takes a holistic approach to animal welfare. Serving as both a shelter for homeless pets and a resource center for pet owners in need, PAWS is a nurturing environment where the well-being of animals and their human companions are intertwined.

We're way more than a shelter.

THE PAWS DIFFERENCE

Community first approach

Addressing animal welfare issues in our own backyard.

​

PAWS was founded in 1999 as a community resource to help LOCAL PETS AND THEIR PEOPLE. Our first priority is to assist pets in Teton County, WY, Teton County, ID and Star Valley, WY. When we are able, we assist neighboring shelters, regional partners and residents from areas which don't have a shelter of their own.

​

We do our best with limited resources and know that by focusing locally, we take care of pets and their people in need right here in our own community.
