PAWS of Grays Harbor

The nonprofit no-kill animal shelter PAWS of Grays Harbor is dedicated to protecting dogs and cats until they find their forever homes. Established in 1973, the organization operates in Aberdeen, WA, making it the largest no-kill animal shelter in Grays Harbor County. PAWS focuses on educating pet owners and providing a safe shelter for lost, abused, and unwanted pets while facilitating pet adoptions to suitable homes. Annually, about 500 animals are placed with loving families through the organization. At times, PAWS has housed as many as 80 cats and 20 dogs, although these numbers fluctuate based on available resources. Community donations play a crucial role in sustaining the organization's operations as it does not receive government funding. The most recent investment of $4.38K came in the form of a grant from Maddie's Fund on 15 March 2023. This injection of capital indicates a positive stride toward furthering the organization's mission and improving its capacity to serve the community.
