PAWS stands for Protecting Animal Welfare Society and they do just that with all of their animals in the area. Every now and then they will post on their Facebook page the available dogs and cats for adoption, and I get a kick out of the names they give the animals. They do such an excellent job naming the animals I feel the names really do match well with the animal's looks.
