PAWS For Life

Our Mission


Our mission is to make a difference in our community by:
  • Reducing the animal overpopulation problem through an active spay/neuter campaign
  • Sheltering homeless animals in a "life-oriented" environment.
  • Promoting pet ownership as a lifetime commitment.

PAWS for Life accepts adoptable cats and dogs into foster care on a case-by-case basis. No cat or dog accepted by PAWS for Life will be euthanized except in the case of major illness (e.g., FIP) or aggression. Owners pay a drop-off fee of $25, which goes toward care and housing, and must fill out a Surrender Agreement.

Eventually, PAWS for Life would like to establish a life-oriented animal shelter within Ada or Canyon County.
