Project Paws, Inc.

Animal rescue in Murphy, NC

The mission of Project Paws, Inc., is to help reduce the number of homeless, stray, abandoned and abused animals of our community.

We educate the public that spay/neuter is the best way to help reduce the pet-overpopulation.

We facilitate fostering of animals, leading to their adoption into forever homes when at all possible.

We provide vaccinations and spay/neuter to all animals prior to adoption.

Project Paws, Inc is a volunteer organization that was formed exclusively for charitable nonprofit animal welfare work providing services in Murphy, North Carolina and the surrounding areas in North Carolina, North Georgia and Eastern Tennessee.
