Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society must alter the ways it serves the community and pets.
Since the virus spreads by human-to-human contact, PAWS must do the following to keep staff, volunteers and visitors safe, effective immediately:
• The low-cost clinic will be closed to the public for now. Previous appointments will be rescheduled. Clinic staff will focus on the care of in-house animals.
• Owners who wish to surrender their pets are strongly encouraged to wait. If pet food and other supplies are needed to keep animals in homes, PAWS will provide them.
• Emergency foster homes are needed. While fewer people are coming to adopt, more animals are coming in. To make the situation worse, puppy and kitten season has started, meaning litter after litter is arriving daily. To become a short-term foster, email pawsspayneuterclinic@gmail.com and include a phone number. PAWS provides all supplies.
