Centre County PAWS was established in 1980. For almost 40 years we have been committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs, educating citizens on responsible pet ownership, providing spay / neuter assistance, and ending pet overpopulation. We are a non-euthanasia, member-supported, volunteer-enabled organization dedicated to the Promotion of Animal Welfare and Safety.

Front Desk Volunteer Training

Front Desk volunteers are the face and voice of PAWS. Front Desk volunteers are the first to welcome all visitors and volunteers to PAWS, answer phones, collaborate with other volunteers from the dog and cat wings, and accept donations. Best of all, you get to work alongside the cats and dogs of PAWS! If you enjoy meeting and talking with people, this may be the volunteer opportunity for you! Front Desk Training
