Invest in our future, bring our mission within reach. 

PAWS’ new 18,500 sq. ft. building at 2129 Oregon Avenue will be transformative — for the people and animals we serve, for PAWS as an organization, and for Philadelphia as a whole. It will triple our current space, allowing us to rescue more animals, offer affordable veterinary care to more pet owners, and expand programs that keep families together. Our Home, Their Haven is a $15-million capital campaign for PAWS to build this new, state-of-the-art facility, that will serve the community for decades to come.

Giving opportunities from $150-$5,000 are listed below.
Gifts and pledges over $5,000 are deeply appreciated and can be made as one-time or multi-year commitments. We have a variety of naming opportunities to recognize your generosity, and we would be grateful for the chance to discuss your ideas and hear your questions. 
Please contact Lauren Hanak, director of development at laurenhanak@phillypaws.org or 267-320-6429.
