Paaw is a site containing a database of pets available for adoption that shelters and associations post online. We provide associations and shelters with this space to offer more visibility to animals and to facilitate their adoption. But we are not involved in the adoptions. Each adoption organization has its own selection criteria and its own adoption policies and procedures. To adopt an animal that is listed on Paaw, click on the "Contact Shelter" button on the animal's profile. You will then be able to speak with the shelter or association directly.
