Precious Paws has had another great year in 2023! They celebrated his 22 years serving the community as an animal adoption and adoption service. They also celebrated their third anniversary working at the veterinary hospital. This year, Precious Paws adopted a record number of more than 250 animals and performed its 20,000th low-cost neuter surgery.
Precious Paws, which has operated as an all-volunteer or contract organization for many years, currently has a staff of eight full-time and 10 part-time employees. They still hope to expand their veterinary operations by hiring a second full-time veterinarian to allow for extended hours, including late-night hours, to better serve the community.
