Overview

From its website

Puerto Rico Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is a no-kill 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to reducing the number of homeless and abandoned companion animals in the northwest corner of Puerto Rico.

PAWS also conducts school visits and distributes educational materials to promote responsible pet care. In a recent year, with support from HSI and other groups, PAWS sterilized 2,645 cats and dogs and found homes for 470 animals.
