Placing Animals Within Society (PAWS), Bryson City, NC.

The adoption fee for a dog is $165 and $115 for a cat, unless we have incurred significant medical expenses. We do not adopt out dogs as guard dogs, or animals that will be “outside only” pets. Our feline residents are required to be adopted as inside-only pets.

Thanks to our small staff and a couple of very dedicated volunteers, we have a wonderful group of socialized and happy dogs and cats at the shelter. We are open to the public Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 11am-5pm. We are just a 2 minute drive from downtown Bryson City. Give us a call for more info at 828-488-0418.

We are a small no-kill shelter founded in 1990. We are the only shelter in Swain County, North Carolina and rely solely on donations and the sales from our thrift store. We are small enough that each dog (15 max) and each cat (16 max) get individual attention. We have created a home-like environment in our shelter to give the animals as close to aa real home while they wait to be adopted. We have adopted out over 2,500 animals and have financially assisted the community in over 9,000 spay/neuter surgeries. not only at the shelter, but also in our thrift store, fundraising, administrative, festivals
