Adopting?

How to Donate

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.

Financial donations may be made to the "PAWS Account" at the Creston and District Credit Union.

Donate your recyclables to PAWS at the Columbia Bottle Recycler.

We also gratefully accept Canadian Tire Dollars.

Other donations (see our Wish List) are happily accepted at the PAWS office. If no one is at the office, donations may be dropped off next door at the Columbia Bottle Recycler.

To receive a tax receipt for your donation, please make your donation at the PAWS office: 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.
