Paws Animal Wildlife Sanctuary, Inc is a state and federally licensed, non-profit organization focusing on wildlife education, rescue and rehabilitation.

Education: While zoos provide an educational experience that teaches about many species of animals throughout the world, one rarely finds information there regarding the animals that live in our own back yard Our goal is to teach peaceful coexistence with our wild neighbors while calmly explaining the need for safety. Take a look at our educational animals!

Rehabilitation: We have nearly 20 years of state and federally licensed experience rehabilitating wildlife (in multiple states) and have resources available to assist with any new species that may come to us. We rehabilitate orphaned, sick and injured wildlife and return them to their native habitat, where they belong. See some of the animals we have taken in for rehabbing this year!

Rescue: While there are hundreds of species of animals available for people to have as pets, it is often difficult to find a shelter that will handle exotics or wild animals. While our facilities are not large enough to accommodate unwanted pets, we have helped connect homeless wild and exotic animals with people and facilities who want them. We have even adopted several of them ourselves. Check out some of the animals we have rescued!
