Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society

PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is Philadelphia's largest no-kill shelter and is working to make Philadelphia a city in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home. Through its adoption locations, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year.In March 2010, PAWS opened a low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter and wellness clinic serving pet owners and rescues in an effort to keep pets healthy and reduce the homeless pet population. Located in the Grays Ferry section of the city, the Clinic serves pet owners who have difficulty affording or do not have access to basic veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, treatments for upper respiratory infections/parasites/fleas, etc.) and rescue organizations that need affordable spay/neuter surgery and basic veterinary care to carry out their lifesaving work. Support for PAWS funds lifesaving initiatives including adoption and foster care programs, spay/neuter surgeries, low-cost vaccinations, and other efforts, all of which help reduce and will ultimately eliminate the unnecessary killing of Philadelphia's animals. Donations to PAWS are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Meet Luke Wilson

Unlike his namesake, acting isn't this sweet and spunky pup's strong suit, but he sure is entertaining! He's never made it big in Hollywood, but Luke Wilson is a bit of a PAWS celebrity, with his stunning looks and charming personality, who wouldn't adore him? Luke's found amazing success in his ability to melt everyone's heart here at PAWS, but now he's on to his next project; finding an adoring family to spend his life with. Luke will have you saying,“WOW”, with his breathtaking and dopey zoomies. Click here to watch him go! Luke Wilson is an incredibly social, and cuddly pal. He truly believes that he is a friend to all, and that the feeling's mutual with everybody that he sees or meets.  He will nudge, rub or plop his cute snoot on you to initiate snuggles, and s ometimes his goofy mood will strike and he'll spring around with a toy, or want to play some tug.  Luke is also very sniff-oriented, so he'd love to find companion(s) that like to venture into nature so that he can enjoy all the interesting smells the world has to offer! When his leash comes out, he bounces up in the air with his lanky legs and waits patiently for his harness to be put on to start all of the exploring. He mostly listens to the commands "sit" and "stay," but is very eager to please his humans and would be able to pick up more tricks with continued training, and he is fully housebroken. Luke Wilson was found as a stray, so we don't know about his history, but think that he would be a good fit for most homes looking for a silly and snuggly sidekick! Based on his interactions with other dogs, we think he could do well living in a home with others that match his energy. Specifically other doggies that love to romp around and get their goof on, and nap when it's all over! While we don't have any information regarding Luke's history with cats, we think that he could do well with anyone that has a comfortability with dogs and zest for playtime after slow introductions. If you're interested in a fun and affectionate companion, Luke Wilson just might be your perfect match!  Age: ~7 years old How I came to PAWS: Found Stray Animal ID#: A-56030 Weight: 44 lbs Mixed breed (It’s impossible to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess. We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.) Location: Foster Care ​All of our dog meets are by appointment only; to get started, please complete the adoption application. To learn more about this dog, please contact us at [email protected] or 215-298-9680 ext. 16. Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, 2900 Grays Ferry Ave, Phila, PA 19146 (by appointment only). PA Lic.# 06172.
