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.

Grayson  I'm a PAWS Pet! Click here to find out more about me. Meet our Grayson! This handsome fellow has a lovely, soft plush coat with just a few white hairs on his chest. He is a easy-going boy who loves pettings, chats & head scratches on his own terms. Grayson happily purrs whenever he spends time with his PAWS volunteers. We think he is very sweet! Grayson is a low-maintenance cat...we know that he will be an awesome addition to his new home & family. THINGS TO CONSIDER: Grayson would love to be the only cat in his home. He may get along with another like-minded cat, but he will need time & slow introductions to get to know other the pets in the home.
