Rescue FAQs

PAWS Columbus, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to prevent overpopulation and suffering of companion animals, to teach kindness and responsibility toward them, and to promote the remarkable capacity of pets to enrich human lives through pet-assisted therapy programs. We work in partnership with the City of Columbus to enhance and supplement the services offered by Animal Care and Control, reduce the need for euthanasia of unwanted animals because of severe pet overpopulation and find a loving and compatible forever home for every adoptable animal. PAWS is supported by private contributions from the citizens of our community. We are People Helping Animals, Animals Helping People.
Columbus, GA and all surrounding areas. Out of state adoptions welcome!

Additional adoption info

Adopters must be 21 years of age or older

The adoption fee for our animals varies and is dependent on many factors including age, size, behavior and medical condition.

Rabies
Disease Appropriate Testing
Deworming
Internal & External Parasite Prevention
Spay/Neuter
Microchip & Registration
