Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)

The Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) rescues and gives sanctuary to animals who have been the victims of the exotic and performing animal trades.

In addition, PAWS investigates reports of abused performing and exotic animals, documents cruelty and assists in investigations and prosecutions by regulatory agencies to alleviate the suffering of captive wildlife.

They currently have elephants, tigers, and bears under their care at their 2,300 acre property in San Andreas, CA. At PAWS sanctuaries, rescued animals live in peaceful and natural habitats, free from fear, chains, and harsh confinement. They are at complete liberty to act out natural behaviors in the comfort of their individually designed enclosures. PAWS animals are not bred, traded, sold, rented or forced to perform in any way.

They are doing incredible work....so let's work together to help meet this fundraising goall! They are the gold standard for what a sanctuary should look like...these animals are so blessed to be in their care.

Thank you so much for reading! Your support means so much.

How much does it cost to feed and care for ONE healthy elephant?

Approximately:

$75,000+ per year

$6,250+ per month

$1,440+ per week

$205+ per day

THAT'S ALMOST $44,000 PER MONTH FOR 7 ELEPHANTS!

Our collective donation is making such a difference! It takes a whole lot of donations to run this operation and I can’t believe we already hit $10,000.
