Our Shelter

Our shelter property was purchased in 2006 and supported by donor funds. We have separate structures for cats and dogs, as well as a large building which serves our Saturday garage sales.

North Beach PAWS is an organization committed to saving the lives of homeless or unwanted domestic animals in the North Beach area of Grays Harbor, WA by providing foster or shelter facility care and seeking permanent adoptive homes for these animals.

We promote the spaying and neutering of dogs and cats in order to assist in reducing the astronomical over-population of these animals, which results in needless euthanasia. Read about our Spay and Neuter Voucher Program.

North Beach PAWS is dedicated to helping educate the community in order to create responsible pet guardianship.

North Beach PAWS is committed to seeking legal protection and justice for animals that are the victims of cruelty and/or neglect. Visit our Take Action page.
