About Us
Serving Southeast Idaho Since 2004
Portneuf Animal Welfare Society Inc. (PAWS) was established in 2004. We have been administering animal rescue services across Bannock, Bingham, and Power counties for over 14 years.
Whether providing food, shelter, or medical care for abandoned and neglected cats and dogs, rescuing livestock from abusive owners, or helping to limit the profusion of feral colonies, the several volunteers of PAWS dedicate their collective time and energy to promote the health, safety and welfare of the areas large and small animals in need.
Our Mission
Portneuf Animal Welfare Society, Inc. (PAWS) is committed to the rescue, fostering and rehabilitation of all animals victimized by abuse, negligence or injury. In order to exercise a total no-kill philosophy, PAWS mission is to restore the health and dignity of all living creatures and to provide each individual a safe, secure future and ultimately to encourage through education, the promotion of low-cost pet spay and neuter programs preventing the birth of unwanted and neglected animals.
Work Made Possible Through Our Community
PAWS is a non-profit organization depending entirely upon donations raised through private contributions and an annual yard sale of donated items.

What People Are Saying About PAWS
Benefactors
We wish to thank all those without whom our successes and development could not have been possible.
To the local clinics and area veterinarians who have responded to our countless queries at all hours of the day or night, thank you for your good judgment. To those of you who furnished low-cost medications, we are grateful. And to those whose skillful professionalism helped us prolong a life or provide comfort at life’s end, we are indebted. Our future achievements depend on our conviction.
PAWS expresses its deepest appreciation to St. Vincent De Paul for its generous donations to our cause. They alone have provided pet bedding for 4 managed feral cat colonies in the Pocatello area. They are quick to answer the comfort needs of any and all animals. Thank you St. Vincent De Paul!
