Embracing A New Era

AS AN ANIMAL RESOURCE CENTER

This year marks a transformative chapter for Paws Humane Society as we evolve into a true animal resource center for our community. This shift signifies our deepened commitment to bridging gaps in animal services, uniting people and pets, and creating innovative solutions to better serve our region.

At the heart of this evolution is our focus on the bond between humans and their pets — what we call “the other end of the leash.” By prioritizing keeping animals out of the shelter system and in loving homes, we aim to reduce shelter overcrowding and promote healthier, happier relationships between pets and their families.

As part of this journey, we are proud to share our renewed mission, vision, and core values. These guiding principles reflect our dedication to compassion, innovation, and collaboration as we strive to make our community a place where every pet is safe, valued, and loved.

OUR VISION

To serve as an animal resource center uniting people and pets, building partnerships, and creating solutions to become a no-kill community.

OUR MISSION

The mission of Paws Humane Society is to keep pets out of the shelter system and in loving homes.

OUR CORE VALUES

At Paws Humane Society, our work is guided by five key values:

TRANSPARENCY

We are committed to openness in all aspects of our operations. By sharing our successes, challenges, and needs honestly with our supporters, partners, and community, we build trust and strengthen our collective impact for animals in need.

HUMILITY

Grounded in honesty, we recognize the importance of humility in all that we do. We value every voice, acknowledge our limitations, and hold ourselves accountable. This allows us to learn and grow with integrity while creating meaningful change.

INCLUSIVITY

We are dedicated to fostering a safe, welcoming space for all people and pets. Celebrating diversity and embracing unique perspectives strengthens our mission and ensures that everyone feels valued in their efforts to support animals and their families.

COMPASSION

Compassion drives every action we take, shaping how we care for animals and interact with people. Treating everyone with kindness, understanding, and respect is fundamental to building a community that prioritizes empathy and connection.

ADVOCACY

Advocacy is central to our mission, rooted in outreach and education. By raising awareness, sharing resources, and advocating for change, we empower our community to keep pets in loving homes. Through these efforts, we aim to create a no-kill community where every pet is safe, valued, and loved.

As we move forward, we invite you to join us in this exciting new chapter. Together, we can make a lasting difference for pets and their people, creating a brighter future for all. For more information, visit pawshumane.org
