Pet Adoption in Montclair NJ for 40 years.

PAWS, (Pound Animal Welfare Society of Montclair, Inc.) is an animal rescue and shelter organization dedicated to the humane treatment of animals. We facilitate pet adoption for stray and abandoned cats and dogs in our community. Founded in 1977, PAWS has been serving Montclair NJ and the surrounding communities for 40 years.

We are extremely proud of our pet adoption history.

PAWS has facilitated adoptions for vast number of animals over the years; successfully placing them with loving families. Many of these cats and dogs came from dire circumstances and were given another chance to share their lives with their new humans.
