PAWS is a volunteer-based, no-kill shelter in the Creston Valley. We are dedicated to finding loving homes for abandoned, rescued, surrendered, and abused pets in the Creston Valley (covering RDCK Districts A,B,C, and the Town of Creston).

We educate the public through community outreach. We provide veterinary care, rehabilitation, socialization, and spaying or neutering as required. Community outreach is achieved through education, re-homing assistance, and reuniting lost pets.

PAWS philosophy as a no-kill shelter means that PAWS pets that don’t find their furever homes live out their lives, loved and cared for at the shelter or fostered by volunteers.

We are not affiliated with or funded by the BC SPCA, or any municipal or provincial branch of government. Our funding comes strictly from donations, fundraising, and grants.

Bambi  I'm a PAWS Pet! Click here to find out more about me. Bambi is a sweet, pretty Tabby cross cat. This gentle, shy girl has a lovely coat with pretty eyes. Bambi has been on her own for much of her life. While she is slowly getting used to her PAWS people giving her head scratches & handling her, she is skittish & unsure. Bambi would do better in a quiet home where she could take her time getting used to her new surroundings & people. It will take time, but this pretty girl is worth it! THINGS TO CONSIDER: Because she is a skittish, cautious cat, Bambi will need her new people to be patient with her while she learns how to interact with them. She will need time to settle in & become trusting of her new home & people.
