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.

Buster  I'm a PAWS Pet! Click here to find out more about me. Meet Buster, we don't know anything about his background as he was a stray that was not reclaimed. What we can tell you is what we have seen since his arrival at the shelter. He is a very friendly boy who has been neutered and vaccinated. He loves to play and hang out with our volunteers. He is good on lead and is working hard on his manners and learning his basic commands. We believe he is fairly young (18 months??). He would do great in a busy household.
