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.

Remi  I'm a PAWS Pet! Click here to find out more about me. Remi is a 10-year-old Australian Shepherd X who is smart and listens well. He knows his basic commands. Because of his age, Remi can be a bit grumpy when his patience is tested, so it's best he's in an adult only home. He has been with other dogs and when introduced slowly, he got on well with them. He's been neutered and his shots are up to date. IF you'd like to meet Remi, call 250-428-7279. In the meantime, fill in an application!
