Natty

We can't figure out why Natty has been at PWP for sooooo long.  If you visit her, she'll greet you with an enthusiastic tail-wag and a toy in her mouth.  She's so eager to meet people.  It breaks our heart when we watch her get excited as new people enter the shelter, but then overlook her and move to puppy cages.  She really is a great girl.  Please take some time to consider adding Natty to you home. 

Adopt a Pet!

It's not uncommon for people to ask us why they should adopt versus buy from a pet store or breeder.  The answer is simple:  when you adopt, you save a life.  

PWP is a no-kill shelter, but we pull pets from kill shelters.   According the the Humane Society of the United States, 6-8 million pets enter shelters annually, but only 3-4 million get adopted.  We have a crisis on our hands!  Too many homeless pets.  Another reason to adopt: shelter pets come with a veterinary package not offered by most breeders and pet stores (specifically, pets are already altered).  Finally, when you buy from a pet store, you are supporting puppy mills, the deplorable, disgusting dog-breeding factories. 

Be a part of the solution!  ADOPT!

Black kitties and cats!

We're overwhelmed with cats and kittens!  We literally have no more cages.  Joey and Jasper, pictured above, are among the countless black cats and kittens at PWP.  People think black cats are too ordinary.  We don't get it.  These boys are sweet!  Please, stop by the shelter to see what we're talking about.  You won't believe your eyes.  Black cats (along with their black and white buddies) are everywhere!  Please - we need you to help our felines!  If you're looking for a feline friend, make PWP your first stop.  Don't fall trap to the "free to a good home" ads in papers*.  While we do have an adoption fee, it's packed with a veterinary package.  Our pets are already spayed/neutered, vaxed, dewormed, feline leukemia tested, and if they're 3 months+, they also receive a rabies shot.  PLUS, through September, adopt one kitty, and the second kitty's adoption fee is half off (for qualified adopters).  Adult cat adoption fees are also reduced.  And, all previous PWP adopters will receive an adoption discount. 

ADOPT! ADOPT! ADOPT!
