Welcome to PAWS! 2003 spay/neuter count: 21(1/25) (2002: 805; 2001: 679)

We are a privately funded non-profit organization that helps Athens area families spay or neuter their pets (both dogs and cats) to reduce euthanasia, improve the health of pets, and reduce shelter overcrowding. We help the elderly, poor and physically and mentally challenged and many of our clients are referred by Council on Aging, home health care attendants, and concerned neighbors.

Thanks to local veterinarians and donors, we spay or neuter over 650 cats and dogs every year.

We also seek to reduce pet overpopulation by capturing, neutering and releasing feral cats who have a legitimate and reliable caregiver from the local community. Neutering feral cats reduces the number at shelters or foster homes, increases the chances of foster/shelter cats getting homes, and eases the burden on the over-taxed animal control system.
