Adopting?

Contact Us
PAWS urges potential owners of an adopted pet to obtain health information when adopting and to have pets vet-checked within 48 hours of adoption.

PAWS cannot guarantee the health of pets privately owned and listed with PAWS.

Please note that the PAWS office is manned by volunteers and open approximately from 10am to 3pm Monday through Friday. Calls are monitored frequently, even on weekends.  We have two emergency only phone numbers for non-office hours:
866-5475 or 866-6828 (please remember these are private phone numbers for PAWS volunteers so be sure you have an emergency before you call).

Contact PAWS at:
Phone: (250) 428-7297

The PAWS office is located at 1420 Northwest Boulevard next door to Columbia Bottle Recycler.

Spay and Neuter
PLEASE BE A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER. Have your pet spayed or neutered and keep vaccinations current.

PAWS can help with spay & neuter costs. Call us for information.
ID your Pet
Make sure your pet can be returned home if it becomes lost!

Ask a PAWS member about our ID Tag/database program.  Call 428-PAWS
Strays
If a stray, untagged cat or dog shows up at your door, the immediate things you can do are to:

- Check the newspaper under Lost Pets
- Call the vet clinic
- Call 428-PAWS

Unless you are prepared to assume the responsibility and care of this pet until an owner or new home can be found, DO NOT FEED IT!

If the pet is not encouraged to stay, it will probably move on and could find its own way home. 
Fostering
PLEASE REMEMBER, our fostering resources are extremely limited and CRESTON HAS NO FACILITY FOR LOST OR ABANDONED PETS!!!

CATS NEED VACCINATIONS TOO! A WELL CARED FOR CAT CAN GIVE MANY YEARS OF ENJOYMENT TO YOUR FAMILY.
