Creston Pet Adoption And Welfare Society

Adopting?	Volunteer with PAWS
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.	Volunteering with PAWS is an extremely rewarding experience. Fostering a pet that hasn't yet found its forever home, helping out with fundraising events, working on the shelter are some examples of what our volunteers help with. If you have the time, PAWS can use your help! Foster homes are always desperately needed and PAWS will continue to need foster homes even after the shelter is in operation. Please contact PAWS at 250-428-7297 to find out how you can help. It will be much appreciated!
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.
