Our Progressive Animal Welfare System (PAWS) concept is that we do not impound these wonderful creatures in an antiseptic, caged atmosphere, like that found in typical animal shelters. The dogs and cats are kept in a natural setting. They have the opportunity to roam in grassy paddocks and forested areas with oversight and control by our staff. When an animal arrives injured or sick they are quarantined and nurtured by caring human hands back to health.
