We Can Build a Better Place
Founded in 2002, North Beach PAWS opened as the first and only no-kill animal shelter in Grays Harbor County for dogs and cats. We have been operating continuously since then, even throughout COVID times, with an experienced and passionate all-volunteer staff.
The Problem
Need for our shelter services has risen dramatically in the last three years, from 700 animals in our care to more than 1,500 animals in 2022. The current dog shelter has only 8 kennels. Demand far outweighs our ability to house the dogs that need our help. Last year, we were forced to turn away more than 400 dog owner surrenders. The pace this year is much worse. For the first time we are turning away puppies as well.
What We Need
A new, state-of-the-art shelter with 20 kennels to provide comfortable housing for dogs.
A large play yard for exercise and fresh air
Separate intake and isolation facilities to safeguard animal health.
Inviting adoption rooms for that all important meet and greet day.
The Vision
With a little love, we can build a better place.
· A place to heal body, mind, and spirit.
· A place to build trust and create joy.
· A place to find love for a lifetime.
Behind every dog story is a human story. Please be part of our story. Give generously to this life saving project so we can build a better place to shelter, heal, and re-home the dogs who need us the most.
