PAWS is a registered non-profit organization which is dedicated to the protection and the promotion of humane treatment of all animals.
It runs an animal shelter called “PARC” (PAWS Animal Rehabilitation Center) located at Aurora Blvd., Katipunan Valley, Loyola Heights, Quezon City that currently houses 49 dogs and 227 cats rescued from cruelty or neglect.
The volunteer-based organization rehabilitates these animals in the hope of finding them new homes and a second chance at a good life.
The PAWS shelter also serves as an animal-welfare information center and a low-cost spay-neuter clinic.
It attends to an average of 50 calls a day concerning different animal welfare, animal care, animal control concerns and helps local government officials with many of their animal-related problems.
Prior to its having a shelter, the organization was already doing humane education, campaigns and low-cost neutering albeit on a small scale.
PAWS campaigns actively against dogfights, horsefights and against wild animals being used for entertainment.
It has successfully lobbied for the passage of the Animal Welfare Act in 1998 - the country's first national law which prohibits cruelty to animals.
PAWS has spayed /neutered and adopted out hundreds of
dogs and cats since the shelter was established in 2001.

Two of its out-of-shelter programs are hugely popular among youngsters: PAWS’ humane education session and the Doctor Dog Program.
The PAWS Humane Education Team reaches hundreds of school children of all ages by conducting school visits within Metro Manila. It has modules for pre-school, elementary school, high school and lectures for students in university levels.

Moreover, PAWS conducts the Animal Asia Foundation's 'Doctor Dog Program in the Philippines (animal-assisted therapy). Over 100 visits to hospitals, schools and institutions have been clocked in by a handful of volunteer humans and their dogs since the Program was introduced in the country in 1998.
Dr Dog aims to fight cruelties such as the illegal Philippine dog meat trade in an unconventional way: by showing the public about the service that dogs render to Man.

By highlighting how animals help people in the Doctor Dog program (not just 'people helping animals' all the time), it is hoped that society will begin to grasp more fully why all animals deserve our respect and protection – beginning with our beloved companion animals.
PAWS Needs Your Help
Too many animals have nowhere to go. Every year, the PAWS Animal Rehabilitation Center cares for over 500 dogs and cats rescued from cruelty and neglect.
We provide food, shelter and as much love and attention as possible for those animals who come into our care and we do our best to find them loving, permanent homes.
The cost of rescuing, treating and rehabilitating animals will be too much for a small struggling shelter if not for he help of supporters and donors.
PAWS is a private, non-profit, volunteer organization which receives no funding from the government nor from any international organization for the operational costs of running its shelter.
You can help shelter animals by choosing to contribute funding for food, vaccination, spay and neuter, healthcare or maintenance of the shelter.
Help us continue making a difference today for a better tomorrow
We’re not just about sheltering and helping animals in distress today. Help us make a difference in the future of animal welfare in the country.
Help our Humane Education fund.
PAWS is dedicated to ending the abuse and exploitation of animals by sowing the seeds of kindness in students and young children
We conduct humane education in local schools. We believe that by teaching kids kindness to animals, we’re helping build a more compassionate society.
Help us lobby and campaign for laws that will
benefit animals in the future.
Although PAWS pioneered the campaign for animal welfare in the Philippines and was successful into getting the ANIMAL WELFARE ACT into a national law, change doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, patience and a lot of information dissemination for our advocacy to be heard and the laws to be implemented.
PAWS has campaigned intensively against dolphin shows and other wild animals being used for entertainment, and we were also the first to file a Court Case against the cruel practice of dog fights.
Aside from this, we also look after the welfare of farm animals by lobbying for rules & regulations on the humane slaughter of livestock and by working with government agencies on issues involving animal health and public health.
Help us continue to help the animals.
