PAWS is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity incorporated in November, 1996, in Maryland for the rescue and adoption of healthy, friendly family dogs and cats, puppies and kittens.

We are advocates for humane education and the promotion of spay/neuter. The pets come to us from many sources: last-minute shelter rescues, strays, and from people who were no longer able to keep their pets for various reasons.
