The mission of Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS) NY is to help older adults and other New Yorkers remain with their pets by delivering critical programs and services through a community of partners and volunteers. Our programs help keep pets in their homes while protecting and promoting the human-animal bond that is so physically and psychologically valuable to our clients. Thus, our motto: helping people by helping pets. PAWS is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
