PAWS/LA

PAWS/LA  is dedicated to preserving the human-animal bond for the most vulnerable, disenfranchised pet guardians. More than twenty (20) research studies conducted over the past ten (10) years document the positive correlation between contact with animals and improved emotional outlook and health stability. For impoverished pet guardians the additional expense of caring for their companion animals is a burden they are only able to bear at a great personal price.  In order to provide for their cherished companions, particularly in emergency situations, they often sacrifice their own medicine, food and other essential needs.  This usually provides only a temporary “solution.” PAWS/LA steps in to bridge the gap between pet companionship and relinquishment.
