P.A.W.S. - Program for Animal Wellness

Over the years, Dakin has become more than an adoption center, but a trusted community resource center for pets and people in need. Our Program for Animal Wellness (P.A.W.S.) specifically provides for the animals in our care and treats complex cases. Our experienced medical and behavioral teams create treatment plans to address each animal’s unique situation and needs. Our teams use a patient-centered, individualized approach to treat animals. Because of your ongoing support, P.A.W.S. can focus on helping animals in need find refuge, preventing suffering, providing compassionate euthanasia when it’s the most humane option, and offering animals life-saving treatment.
