Putnam County, Florida

Helping local pets and the people who love them.

Putnam PAWS Inc. is a local nonprofit dedicated to improving the well-being of animals and the people who care for them through compassionate support, education, advocacy, and community action.

What We Do

Putnam PAWS is starting with practical, local programs that meet real needs while we grow our volunteer base, donor support, and community partnerships.

Spay/Neuter Support

We help connect low-income pet owners, seniors, and community cat caregivers with spay/neuter resources when funding and appointments are available.

Pet Food Assistance

Donated pet food helps families facing a hard month keep their animals fed, cared for, and safely at home.

Foster Recruitment

Foster homes give cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies a safer place to land while longer-term options are arranged.

Education and Outreach

We share practical information about responsible pet care, prevention, humane treatment, and local animal welfare resources.
