GivingTuesday Starts With You
December 1, 2026 | A Global Day of Generosity
GivingTuesday is a global day of generosity, and you’re invited to be part of it!
You can help create a second chance for an animal who has nowhere else to go. It’s a moment for our community to come together, share compassion, and make a difference for animals who need it most.
Whether you give, adopt, foster, volunteer, or simply spread the word, you play a meaningful role in creating a more compassionate world for animals and people alike.
Why It Matters
Every day, animals arrive at PAWS in need. Some require urgent medical care. Others need time, patience, and a safe place to heal.
As more families face difficult circumstances, more animals are at risk. And your compassion can make all the difference.
How You Can Help
There are so many ways to be part of GivingTuesday, and you don’t have to wait until December 1 to get started!
- Give to help provide lifesaving care, safety, and second chances.
- Adopt and give a cat or dog a loving home.
- Foster and provide a temporary place to land.
- Volunteer your time to support animals in need.
- Spread the word and join our GivingTuesday Facebook Event, mark yourself as Going or Interested, and invite friends and family to help spread the kindness!
