The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is a registered non-profit organization which is dedicated to the protection and the promotion of humane treatment of all animals.

It runs an animal shelter called “PARC” (PAWS Animal Rehabilitation Center) located at Aurora Blvd., Katipunan Valley, Loyola Heights, Quezon City that currently houses 49 dogs and 227 cats rescued from cruelty or neglect. 

The volunteer-based organization rehabilitates these animals in the hope of finding them new homes and a second chance at a good life.

The PAWS shelter also serves as an animal-welfare information center and a low-cost spay-neuter clinic.  

It attends to an average of 50 calls a day concerning different animal welfare, animal care, animal control concerns and helps local government officials with many of their animal-related problems.

Prior to its having a shelter, the organization was already doing humane education, campaigns and low-cost neutering albeit on a small scale.

PAWS has spayed /neutered and adopted out hundreds of dogs and cats since the shelter was established in 2001. 

PAWS campaigns actively against dogfights, horsefights and against wild animals being used for entertainment.
