Paws shelter | often ask question

hmm.. this is a post to answer most of your question. i often see forums and messages asking whether PAWS is a "No-Kill" shelter.

month before, because of Joseph's shout out, i contacted them using their page form but i get no reply. how foolish am i, expecting busy people to reply my post lol.

since i read it from petster, and it actually mentioned PAWS, i'll let you know the answer (incase u don't have petster at home).

very unfortunate, the overloaded animal is forcing them to euthanize animal after a certain period placing there. Yes, they euthanize and No, they are not a "No-Kill" Shelter. if u want to know more go check out Petster September's issue. it's free.

as for their decision, don't blame them. they already did what they could to help those animal. Everyone is throwing their animal to PAWS. and they don't have the fund for all of them. according to what i've read from the mag, animals that are sent in will be place for a certain period of time. if there are no adopters, no luck..that's the end i guess..

I know that many intend to be a rescuer or accidentally became a rescuer. There is actually a way if u found lost/stray and u wanted to help them. learn TNRM. check out http://myanimalcare.org

basically, i'm still in a learning progress :) i used to rescue animal and gave them a time limit. after a week or so.. if no one came to claim, i said i will put them to the shelter. very lucky, really lucky. there is always interested adopter. u can check out http://petfinder.my

First timer who do not have the knowledge of TNRM would want to put them to shelter. just like me. but placing them in the shelter won't help much. here's what you can do:-

Feed them. foster them. when u gained their trust, neuter them, when they are neutered, rehome them/put them back to the original place(for stray). M for manage. continue feeding them :)

well, easy to say, tough when it comes to doing it. but im just sharing what i know to the rest of you. because i know many of you are like me half year ago. save, put to shelter. NO!

Feed the strays! if u came across a lost dog, best is to foster him for a while. home dogs will have hard time surviving the streets as they are not raised up that way :) Good Luck.
