PAWS is a volunteer-based, no-kill shelter in the Creston Valley. We are dedicated to finding loving homes for abandoned, rescued, surrendered, and abused pets in the Creston Valley (covering RDCK Districts A,B,C, and the Town of Creston).

We educate the public through community outreach. We provide veterinary care, rehabilitation, socialization, and spaying or neutering as required. Community outreach is achieved through education, re-homing assistance, and reuniting lost pets.

PAWS philosophy as a no-kill shelter means that PAWS pets that don’t find their furever homes live out their lives, loved and cared for at the shelter or fostered by volunteers.

We are not affiliated with or funded by the BC SPCA, or any municipal or provincial branch of government. Our funding comes strictly from donations, fundraising, and grants.

Chance  I'm a PAWS Pet! Click here to find out more about me. Chance is a 12-month-old Great Dane X. This young boy can be very affectionate once he gets to know you. Being a pup he is energetic. He's kennel trained, and loves his toys and snuggles. Chance is not keen on farm birds but he's good with some dogs. He does needs more recall training and re-enforcement of current training. He's unaltered due to his age/breed but he has a neuter appointment for Oct 23rd. He has received his 1st set of vaccines. Chance would benefit from a single pet home that can give him the attention a young pup needs. Please call us to meet this nice boy. Neutered Oct 23/24.
