PAWS INSTITUTE MISSION STATEMENT

The P.A.W.S.* Institute is a nonprofit organization founded in 1996, dedicated to the advocacy of holistic healing and wellness for your companion animals. Our institute members act as watchdogs for harmful products and practices that can affect the health and longevity of our beloved pets. We are continually researching best practices in pet nutrition, grooming, safety, emotional enrichment, and other total wellness approaches to pet care. In addition, we have become passionately involved in rescuing and transporting at-risk dogs and cats from kill shelters; we promote and encourage holistic therapies as adjuncts to recovery of animals from brutal kill shelter conditions.
