PAWS of Southwest Virginia Inc. is a non-profit, foster-based animal welfare organization based in Coeburn, Virginia, committed to protecting unwanted pets across Wise County and neighboring areas. The organization rescues, fosters, and finds adoptive homes for both cats and dogs while coordinating subsidized spay/neuter services. By pulling animals from overburdened local shelters, PAWS gives vulnerable felines and canines a second chance at life.
Adoption fees are typically $60 for cats and $125 for dogs.
Adopters must complete an application and agree to provide proper veterinary care, indoor living conditions, and lifelong care.
Prospective adopters submit an adoption application for review. Once approved, the organization coordinates a meet-and-greet with the pet's foster caregiver and finalizes adoption paperwork.
As a foster-based rescue without a central shelter facility, PAWS accepts surrenders and transfers based on volunteer foster home availability and local veterinary partner referrals.
