Thought I’d find another kitty to befriend the one I currently own. Walked in to look at the felines and eventually found one a little over a year that would’ve been perfect! We decided to adopt her! Sounds great right? WRONG, we had to wait about 4 days AFTER we visited and filled out the application to even hear from the shelter. Just to let us know that there are MANY other steps to be approved. I get you’re trying to find a great person to adopt these animals but come on. I’ve owned cats my ENTIRE and I felt like I was being interrogated and that I wasn’t good enough of a pet owner. I wouldn’t recommend this place but if you had a good experience then I’m happy for you. But I will never go back. :(

I rescued a kitten from a dumpster in the State College area, and Centre County PAWS was an incredibly helpful resource. They rent out Havahart traps, and the one I used was clean and in good condition. They offered me kitten food from their foster cat supplies. Ultimately, the kitten was rescued and is doing fine, and Im incredibly appreciative of the support that I received from Centre County PAWS throughout that process. They also had $10 cat carriers when I stopped in which I purchased to transport the newly found kitten to and from my apartment.

We adopted our first dog from PAWS about 2 months ago and couldnt be happier with the experience and the outcome. PAWS has a rigorous application process (as did all other reputable shelters we came across in our search) which proved to be very effective in matching us with an ideal companion. Once our application was approved, there was a very quick turnaround time to meet and take home our dog Elliott. The shelter staff and Elliotts foster answered all of our questions, loaned us any supplies we needed to be able to take him home the same day we met him, and set us up with vouchers for a free bag of food and a free vet appointment. This is such a fantastic shelter that cares so deeply about their animals and the people they adopt to. We are so grateful to them for finding us the perfect dog and highly recommend them to anybody looking to bring a new pet into their family.

Happy late-winter morning on the AM Dog Shift.

Adopting Han Solo has been one of the best choices we have made for our family..especially his Big Brother Bacon..from another mother 😊 they are great siblings together and bring so much joy to our home!!

The best shelter Ive ever been to! I adopted my best friend from PAWS and volunteered here for three years. Great adoption process thats thorough but not too many hoops to jump through and they really care that the pet is the best fit for you and you for them! Amazing volunteers and management. Love you and miss you PAWS!

Very thorough with the pre adoption process but you can tell they really care about whats in the best interest of the animals.

We’ve been lucky enough to adopt two of our family members from PAWS. The staff was friendly and explained the entire process. My favorite part is becoming part of the PAWS community-attending events like the dog alumni event and sharing update photos. Both of our pets were fortunate to be in a foster home before coming to our home and the fosters were so kind and loving. Their facility is amazing, but knowing our pets were able to be in a loving home before they came to us made me feel so much better. I couldn’t believe our pets came to us up to date on all their shots, spayed, and microchipped ..it is incredible they are able to do all of that for the small adoption fee. Check out PAWS for your next family member, you will not regret it!

I am happy to give the strongest review of PAWS from the perspective of a foster, volunteer, and an adopter. PAWS has enabled me to be a part of the solution towards facilitating happy endings for many dogs. As a foster, I get to assess dogs preferences, training level, and begin training to improve their fit in their new homes. As a volunteer, I get to play with many dogs and help place them in loving homes by being dedicated to best fit and making sure that the families and the dogs are set up for success. Finally, as an adopter, PAWS has helped me fill up my life many times with a new 4-legged family member. Sometimes I needed to be patient and work with the Adoption Counselors to ensure best fit and success in my home. Patience has payed off many times.

We have been a foster family with PAWS for about a year. Its been a rewarding experience and I cant say enough about the support we received from everyone. The staff and volunteers have an extremely high level of commitment to every animal in their care. I highly recommend PAWS if youre looking to foster, adopt, volunteer, or donate to an organization that cares about the animals and people they serve.

A very welcoming and loving environment.

PAWS is an amazing place. I went with my parents as they adopted their kitty. All of the animals are super well cared for with plenty of sunlight and space to play. The staff and volunteers are helpful, kind, and knowledgeable about the animals. My parents’ cat is easily the sweetest cat I’ve ever met—he loves snuggling! Thank you, PAWS, for all that you do for the animals in your care and for the community!

PAWS is an incredible organization that really stands out in terms of how much effort they put into placing animals in their perfect homes. They’re not looking to just unload animals to anyone that will take them. They’re committed to finding animals their forever homes and will provide outstanding care to those animals until that day comes. I adopted my dog, Daryl, from them after he had spent a little over two years in the shelter off and on. He has some behavioral issues that intensified in his previous home and I don’t think many other shelters would have given him a chance after he returned to PAWS from that home. But PAWS did, got him professional training, and worked to address his issues. He’s a perfect angel baby and I’m so thankful PAWS took such good care of him until I could adopt him. I’d highly recommend anyone in Central PA looking to adopt to start with PAWS.

I highly recommend adopting your pet from PAWS.

We went to PAWS to meet a dog and since have a 3 month old puppy they said we didn’t have all her shots when she does. They only let us meet one dog. They told us none of the dogs there were the right one for us. Which is a lie. The dog we met said it was dog friendly not cat friendly. The dog we met was not dog friendly at all. They were highly disrespectful. I will never go back there

There mission is good but if you try and get a pet from them it is easier to get a Top Secret security clearance

I have not been inside Pauls yet but Im calling to try should I say texting trying to adopt a dog by the name of Wyrona . We r looking to adopt loss our did after 18 yrs. We seen her being walked a week ago and fell in love right away. We would give her a great home

I felt attacked and judged when I entered this building. I had been considering adopting a cat for a very long time but wanted to make sure that my schedule would be open enough to give an animal the time it needed. I have been around and raised various cats and dogs my entire life and felt it was the perfect time to apdopt from a shelter.When I told the women in the front I was interested in adopting a cat the only thing they asked me was if I was an undergrad student. In a very rude and condesending tone they proceeded to tell me that I was unable to adopt a cat based on my current academic level, even though I am about to graduate this fall. The women told me they would contact me if any of their policies changed yet never asked for any type of contact information, indicating that she had no intention of ever allowing me to adopt a cat from this shelter. This is discrimination, there is nothing holding me back from providing a safe and loving enviroment for a cat. I am appalled at this service. I would like you to know I have found another cat and she is very happy.

Wonderful shelter. You can see that the animals are well cared for and loved. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Background checks are done to ensure that animals are going to loving and happy homes. Best of all is that animals are not put down at PAWS for being there too long. Recently a dog found his forever home after being at their shelter for over 7 years!

They are a great facility and take care of their pets well. The adoption process is so easy and they keep in touch with you the whole time you are trying to adopt.

I went to PAWS to adopt a dog and felt very unwelcomed simply because I was an undergrad. I have been planning to adopt a dog for a couple months now and my finances were in order, my community is very dog friendly and my schedule has me gone for 2 maybe 3 hours a day at most. I am surrounded by dogs in my friends and family and aware of the sacrifices and the responsibility it takes. It is the perfect time for me to get a dog. But none of this mattered, simply because I was a student. The faculty was so rude and unwelcoming. I was very excited about the dog I was meeting and when I asked about the dog and the application process the faculty members did not share my enthusiasm what-so-ever. The only interaction I had with the employees were rude interrogations with ignorant assumptions. Also I had volunteered at this shelter for 2 years, I stopped a few years ago. Yet I was told that to adopt this dog I would have to volunteer another 20 hours and the dog would not be put on hold for me. So while I am working for them to adopt this dog they could just give it to someone else?? I will not be contributing to this business. There are plenty of other shelters that would be happy for me to adopt one of their dogs.

Horrible place to adopt...they dont check the health of the animals they recieve. Huge hassle getting a cat and the first day they become sick. There are no excuses just ghe laziness and lack of care for your animals.Edit: and no not all of the medical issues were disclosed...no one told us about the mass on his nose...and if your team cant tell when a cat is sick and I can taht is pretty bad... your whole staff are clueless obviously.

I gots a dog

PAWS is by far the cleanest, most up to date facility that I have visited. The people there are very friendly and helpful. Keep up the excellent work!

I grew up in a home where my mother bred and raised dogs, own 3 and and live in a house where my wife and I have set it up for them for comfort and protection. Live on a large plot of land with wooded acres and acres, Also assisted with training K-9’s as a police officer for years. Without asking any background demographic information about ourselves, We were denied to see a dog because it has “two very good applicants in” as the the woman stated. We were very much hoping to have that be the day we committed to rescue. We still hope too. Apparently not here though.

I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only student who felt unwelcome here. I can totally understand the policy in regards to student adoptions considering often times students may not have their lives set in stone but that does not give reason for making people feel as though they are doing something wrong. Maybe explain the policy from the very beginning before turning a cold shoulder.

Centre County PAWS is absolutely amazing! From the staff to the volunteers, everyone genuinely care about the work they are doing and the animals they are caring for. I have only ever had positive experiences with this organization.

Definitely the cleanest and most loving shelter around!!! Our adoption process is going so smoothly!! Thank you so much Paws for helping us find our perfect fur baby!! ❤️

This the perfect place to select a pet! You have easy access to interact with the animals! The facility is very clean with helpful and knowledgeable personnel!

Wonderful shelter with friendly staff and well cared for animals! We adopted a cat beginning of November and the whole process was quick and easy!! Planning on stopping by again to adopt another cat! Thank you PAWS for everything that you do for the community and the animals!

Provides a great service to the area and is one of the better rescues Ive seen.

I adopted a very old, yet lovely, dog yonks ago and what a wonderful experience. I will do it again.

Ive volunteered here for about a year and it would have been longer if we didnt move out of the area! During my time here the volunteers and staff were always very welcoming. It became, to me, a little family! Their organization and care for the animals here will always impress me. It is evident the animals at paws are very well loved and taken care of. The health of the animals is top priority and they have fantastic volunteers that look out for and report any potential causes for a vet appointment. They are truly a compassionate shelter that continues to selflessly give back.

We adopted our cat from PAWS about 2 years ago and had a great experience. They are very thorough in the adoption process which I appreciated and we only have great things to say about PAWS! If we still lived in the area, we would definitely be going through them for our next pet adoption.

I am so thankful for our local PAWS! I adopted my cat, Garbanzo, from here about a year ago and my entire experience at PAWS was excellent. You can tell that they care so much about the animals and making sure that they go to good homes. Garbanzo is the perfect fit for my family and it was so great that I got to visit him several times and get to know his personality before I brought him home. I would recommend Centre County PAWS to everyone!

I’ve visited this humane society on three separate occasions and each time I’ve been greeted by rude, demeaning, and tactless employees. They debased me simply because I was an undergrad and was, in their eyes, seen as childish and unable to properly take care of my own dog (not knowing that I have already raised a puppy into a mature and well mannered adult dog.) This presumptuous way of thinking led them to constantly reply to my questions with snide remarks while referring to me as a kid. I am a 24 year old with my own house, yard, and part time job. This place is horrible and would advise everyone never to support these rude and arrogant people.

My family adopted Oscar the cat back in August 2019. The process was seamless and all of questions were answered. My adoption counselor even stayed late on adoption day because of my late work schedule. Oscar found his forever home and we found our forever cat😻😻

Kind staff and truly humane organization. Their only problem is not allowing undergrads and international students (grad and under) to adopt pets.

It’s easier to adopt a child than adopt a dog from PAWS, & I don’t mean that negatively ! They are picky who they give animals to & after leaving the State college Area & moving to North Carolina where dogs & cats are given from shelters to just about anyone, I realize how safe animals were at Paws! Paws is a great place with serious safety procedure in place for the animals wellbeing, something seriously lacking in other cities ! You know if you adopt from paws the animals won’t have disease & if they do it will be told to you ! This is truly an organization passionate about animal welfare

The adoption process can seem a little over the top but they really just want to make sure that every animal will be well taken care of and not end up mistreated or back at Paws. They take really good care of every animal and some of these stories are simultaneously heartbreaking and heartwarming. They really do care deeply about the cats and dogs.

I have adopted two dogs from Centre County PAWS. On both occasions the volunteers were kind, helpful, and professional. I would highly recommend PAWS to anyone looking for a furry friend!

They take care of all the animals with great consideration to their comfort and health. All the staff are really wonderful and its just a good experience even to go and visit the cats and dogs.

I went to the volunteer training. While handling a dog, I politely asked the instructor if I could choose not to wrap the dog leash around my wrist because it could cause wrist and hand injuries such as fractures and dislocations or ruptured tendons if the dog suddenly pulls hard. This is a safety precaution Ive learned over the years from working with a few professional dog trainers. The instructor, instead of addressing my safety concerns, got defensive and talked down at me in front of everyone and threatened that if I cant handle the dog then I shouldnt be volunteering. She then continued to talk down to me and make up her mind that I cant handle the dog I was walking when the dog was simply a little excited to be outside. To be fair, the leash was incorrect length (too long) and the dog ended up pulling all the volunteers walking him, including the instructor. Later on, I was able to peacefully handle another dog that was considered the same level as the previous dog.I didnt realize bringing up safety concerns could cause such an extreme and abnormal defensiveness from the instructor. Someone who is responsible training other volunteers should know how to handle a leash in ways that minimize the risks of wrist injuries. Bullying new volunteers and making them disregard their own safety just to incorrectly use the leash her way is just neglectful and irresponsible.I have done my share of rescue and volunteering overseas. Ive dealt with dogs that were traumatized and abused in ways you dont want to imagine. Im here to volunteer with good intention. However I find it alarming that it took so little to cause the volunteer training manager to lash out and antagonize a prospective volunteer who brought up a safety concern in good faith.

Fantastic organization! We adopted a dog and cat here over the last few years...staff and volunteers are wonderful!

I went in to adopt a dog, they told me I would most likely be denied because I had an unfixed cat in the house. I get it there are rules that must be followed. My adoption advisor told me that they could possibly accept if I got her an appointment to he fixed. I texted her the day after per her request and she did not respond. That evening I received an email stating that someone else had been filling out an application and so they got the dog we were looking at. Thats fine. A few days later, she texted me informing me that they were about to get another litter of puppies and wanted to know if I was interested and if my cat had an appointment. I understand that there are rules to be followed but it just seems pretty fishy and unfair that I couldnt adopt the dog we were originally looking at but, I could adopt a different dog under the same circumstances. We do our adopting elsewhere now.

I was in the area visiting a friend and we were talking about adopting a cat. She told me about PAWS and that it was a great place, nothing like the SPCA or a Humane Society. She took me there and we looked at all the so happy cats and kittens. The staff were wonderful and we found the cat we wanted. I had to leave to get back home before they were opened again since the hours are limited. I made arrangements with the friend there for me to come back. I drove all the way from New Jersey for this cat. The only reason I did that is because the staff were wonderful from the get go and all the animals seemed to be taken care of and were really happy and lovable!

What a great organization to volunteer for! There is such dedication to saving the lives of homeless cats and dogs from the staff and volunteers. One of the most amazing things about PAWS is the orphaned kitten program. The volunteers diligently bottle feed/care for these tiny babies, who no doubt wouldnt have a chance to survive in the world without them. Seeing the happy endings of these little ones and all the cats and dogs that PAWS makes possible, definitely makes my day!

Unprofessional and discriminatory towards students of all ages. They do not tell you their policy of adopting the dogs until after meeting them. one of the volunteers insulted our ability to care for an animal because we are students. We asked if the circumstances would be different if we were the same age with a full time job, and not a student, and they said yes. If you want to adopt you need to volunteer 20 hours of your time to the facility, but if your school schedule doesnt align with their operating hours, they say you are unfit to take care of a dog, and will not allow you to adopt one of the precious animals that they have there. They do not take into consideration, your ability to care for the dog, but only how much time you will work for the facility. A better place to adopt animals is at Pets Come First, as they take time to train the dogs there, and make them more friendly. The dog trainers put a lot of time and effort into the animals to prepare them to be around other animals and people. They also care more about the ability to care for the dogs, and ask about whether or not you can provide the love and care that they need, and whether or not you are financially responsible to do so.They also do not discriminate towards students. (Granted some should not have pets, but if theres honest people out there who can and will take care and provide all the love that they need, they should be able to adopt the dog, not be discriminated against.)

We tried adopting a second dog from Paws and found some issues with communication. The dogs themselves seem very happy and someone was always there to answer questions, do the meet and greet, etc. Although Sundays are super chaotic. We visited several times over about 3months with different dogs and each time we were told, no, you cant have this one because he requires a fence, which you dont have. Finally 4-5 meets later, one of the volunteers finally admitted that we could not get a hound, the breed we specifically listed as a preferred breed, because of the lack of fencing at our home. They sort of pushed a young special needs puppy on us instead (even though we listed 1yr or older on the application). I completely understand their requirements about the fencing, but we were quite upset having been through the ringer of the application, several meet and greets and the let-down of this could be the one! several times.

Centre County PAWS is a top notch animal facility. The staff and volunteers are very knowledgeable and caring for the animals. They care for each animal on an individual basis and do an excellent job at matching them in their furever homes. Cost is not spared when it comes to the animals health and the facility is extremely clean!

As a relatively new volunteer at PAWS, I have been most impressed in the care with which the staff attempts to match the right animals with the right families. The well being of everyone (people and animals) involved in the adoption process is considered and deliberated, with the objective of a happy ending with a forever family. PAWS of Centre County is a class act.

First: The staff and volunteers here are great. They really care about the animals and make sure they are going to good homes. I was a reference for my friends who adopted a kitten, and they emailed me and several others a pretty comprehensive feedback form about them. They paid a small adoption fee, but sometimes that fee is waived, or animals have guardian angels that have pre-paid the fee. Im pretty sure all of the cats and dogs who leave here have been spayed or neutered already, and they share as much history of the animal as they can. Its a process that takes a couple of weeks, but I think thats a good thing. The tireless volunteers really deserve credit as they make this place what it is: terrific for both the animals here and the humans who adopt them.

This is a great place to adopt a furry family member. They set you up with everything you need to get you started, including a voucher for your new buddys first vet visit. Also a great place to donate blankets and unused pet supplies.

You cant say enough about the wonderful people that work here. They are amazing volunteers that care so much about the animals they help to save. Its a great place to find a loving pet, or to help get involved!

I just adopted a dog from PAWS this past weekend and the experience was great! They were quick to call my vet and help us get the process moving since I am not from the area. Since then theyve followed up to make sure the dog is doing well and that were all happy. Id definitely recommend adopting from PAWS.

So many pets available. This is a great rescue service with the pets best interests always places first!!! The pets are clearly loved for.

Good people, great facility! Animals are very well cared for!

I adopted my dog from PAWS 4+ years ago, and since then I have volunteered in various roles there. In that time I have learned so much about animal care and handling from the staff and volunteers there. PAWS works diligently to learn about the animals, so that they have the best possible chance at success in a home. This shelter is exemplary in animal rescue and is a treasure for the animals and people in our community.

Uncooperative and unfriendlylesbian bias big time

Great experience, easy adoption.

The people really care about the animals and just want them to find a furever home!

I had a great experience at PAWS! We went to visit a litter of puppies and the staff let us play with the puppies for as long as we wanted! It was a very clean environment and the animals were very well cared for. I didnt adopt a puppy that day, but will definitely adopt from PAWS when I finally decide to get a dog!

Beautiful place, and you can tell everyone that works there cares. Went to look at 5 dogs with my 2 fur babies, and well...lets just say, I now have 3 fur babies!❤️❤️❤️

Paws has been extremely good to us. We adopted our first cat from them last year and it was wonderful. The facilities were immaculate and the volunteers really knew each of the cats very well. They were able to point us in the right direction for finding a wonderful companion. We again visited their facilities this year after our kitty baby unexpectedly passed away from an unknown heart condition. The volunteers all remembered him and cried with us as well. They really love the animals there. They were also able to point us to some to some other cats who had the loving cuddle me personality that helped us cope with our loss. I would highly recommend this organization much more so than the SPCA here in Centre County. We visited there first and it smelled horribly of cat urine and they didnt even know the names of the cats they were caring for.

We went to paws today to inquire about adopting a dog. Everyone at the facility was extremity rude. We were unfamiliar with the process of adopting a dog due to us having pitbull for 13yrs. The man at the facility had a very condensing smirk the entire time were were there. The seemed to have no interest in getting us up to speed and wanting to find us a match. We will never go back abs will never recommend anyone to adopt from this facility.

PAWS staff and volunteers do a wonderful job of truly getting to know the dogs and cats through various programs, such as the foster program and Pet Partner program, and through constant communication, especially email communication among the volunteers that includes behavioral updates and observations on each dog or cat care shift. PAWS Adoption Counselors and other volunteers use this information, relay it on to adopters, and pair dogs and potential adopters together, while focusing on both the behavioral needs of the dog and the preferences of adopters. PAWS is a great place for dogs and cats, not just those in Centre County!

Wonderful shelter! The facility is always clean, the staff and volunteers welcoming, and great animals! We adopted our amazing dog from PAWS in 2010 and then a wonderful kitten (now full-grown) in 2012. We love them both dearly and thank PAWS for bringing them into our lives.

They truly want to find the best home for each animal they place

I so wished I know who the lady was!! Because she left a really bad impression about this place to my family and myself.The lady was very biased from her eyes and asked a lot about our private information that we should refuse to answer and leave this place at once, because it was embarrassing anyway :(Although we don’t looked like billionaires, we are tidy and well dressed. We respected everyone at PAWS, but we only earned pity and shame ;(Actually, many volunteers at PAWS don’t take care of these animals, besides, they send them to foster families and indeed selling them at PAWS :(A lot of animals are abandoned not only by foreigners but locals as well!!! People from wherever are all HUMANS and certainly they would share similarities!! How can the people at PAWS consider that they are better people than people from other places???Please don’t make it so obvious that PAWS is place full of racists and snobberies :(Literally hate this place:( thank goodness the animals are well cared by their foster families

PAWS was the cleanest and nicest facility my family and I entered when looking for our wonderful dog that we adopted. The staff was very friendly and helpful with everything. They called a few different times shortly after adopting to make sure everything was working out and to see if we had any questions. I traveled more than an hour to finalize everything and would do so again in a heartbeat. Woof!

This is by far the cleanest, largest, nicest pet adoption facility Ive ever been to. However, they only have the puppies for limited hours one day a week and dont let you back to see the other dogs which defeats the purpose of choosing.

Entered the establishment today to see a particular dog and was greeted with a VERY not so friendly reception from a staff member Michelle. We tried to adopt a dog from this shelter in the past but in the end, the dog has too many issues and needed more help than we could provide. This same dog was re-adopted by another who ALSO was unable to handle the dogs issues.We were greeted today with a VERY rude attitude and believe strongly this person (Michelle) deliberately was rude to us due to our previous experience with the shelter in having to return a dog that needs more help than we could provide. After speaking with the shelters supervisor, we may visit this shelter someday in the future but wont be dealing with Michelle.

Cats are well cared for and most certainly adorable and so friendly. However, one employee or volunteer obviously lied to me last time I was there months ago. There was a cat with a disability and her legs could not function well and we asked why. I was curious. The lady said the cat was so overweight that she couldnt walk. The cat may have been somewhat overweight but she was not so overweight that her back legs couldnt function. I have a cat more overweight that that cat and she can run just as well as my other cats. Great place but I dont appreciate the lie.

Great organization and knowledgeable friendly staff.

I love this place.... but just recently I was trying to find a place for my pit bull and was told to come here *im keeping her now* but I tried 5 times to get contact with you guys from the page to emails and phone.... but no answer back

I love paws. Always got my dogs from them. Most loving people Ive ever met.

Several years ago I worked with adults with intellectual disabilities, and one of our individuals wanted a cat. We did all the paper work and did the volunteer hours to find out the day we were to pick up the car that paws has a policy of not adopting animals to THAT kind of person. So be aware that paws is a dicrimantory organization.

My family has visited PAWS many times looking for the right furry friend to join our family. They have so many options, both with dogs and cats, but the volunteers there are very rude at times. The facility is very clean for the amount of animals currently residing at the location. I would rate them a 5 star if the volunteers were nicer!

Wonderful people who work incredibly hard - all as volunteers. Their application process I is smooth and sensible. Highly recommended!

A talented and caring group of animal lovers who work hard to find the right homes for homeless pets. As a former big dog lover, I was skeptical about a small dog, but the adoption counselors guided me to the perfect dog for me.

They do a great job caring for dogs and I absolutely love the animals I adopted from them!!!!

Great place to adopt a pet.. and great staff

They try to be so honest about what the know about each pet and make it a good match. A well run mostly volunteer organization.

I went back to return the leash they kindly let me borrow and to ask about home remedies for kennel cough. No sooner than the words “kennel cough” were out of my mouth, the woman ASSUMED I was there to complain or try to return my dog. She told me in no uncertain terms that once the adoption was final it was my problem. I had to bring her down to earth. Not nice and not appreciated.

Best place on earth if you have to be a homeless dog or cat.

They dont help cats that are left outside in the cold by the owner, they give them right back to the owner just because it has a microchip., The owners are still leaving the cat outside, I see it everyday and it begs people for food.

Great facility with great care for animals. The staff are very kind, helpful, and polite. Will definitely go there again in the future.

Staff can be very biased when choosing who gets the dog. Even in the room with interested adopters, one of the staff had said he would already get the dog. In the end, the gentleman they chose to give the dog to, returned the animal. Great pick of owner guys.

Yay kitties!

VERY BIASED AND OFFENSIVE, question a lot of stuff even the ones none of their business, and made me a psycho/fool with my full heart to love animals. 5 stars for the well cared animals, 0 star for staffs. I’d rather buy an animal to avoid such harassment, PAWS sells animals just like a shop so it doesn’t matter where to buy anyway. their attitude just helps increasing animal trafficking instead of helping animals to find their humans and homes.WHEN WE ASKED TO SEE THE AVAILABLE ANIMALS WE INTERESTED IN, THE VOLUNTEER SAID SHE WENT TO CHECK IF THERE IS AN EMPTY ROOM AND LET US FOLLOW HER, BUT SHE THEN CAME BACK AND HAD THE ANIMALS TO ANOTHER FAMILY!! HOW THE HELL OF THIS HAPPENED???Update: Better to not reply such offensive words with no apology at all.

I have had the pleasure of visiting twice from SC. The organization that I run sends dogs under a year old to this great group every 6 weeks. They are a pleasure to work with and we are so very appreciative for all they do.

Centre County PAWS is a no kill shelter that takes pride in offering the best care of dogs and cats. PAWS wants to ensure that every pet finds their forever home and works hard to do so.

Nice place with great animals. The volunteers and foster parents are very good at their job and take very good care of the animals.

Centre county paws has united me with my sweet girl, Daisy. I brought her home today. My adoption counselor, Ellen, was diligent and accommodating. She really found the perfect match. I cant express what a great organization that this is. They have been so organized and professional. I would highly recommend taking a look here if you are looking for a new companion. I would give three thumbs up!! Thankyou Ellen!! Thankyou PAWS!!! Great Job!!!

A great place to adopt from. They take very good care of the animals.

Clean and well maintained building. The staff/volunteers are super friendly and the cats are adorable

It seemed like i wasnt welcomed to get dog. And their dogs are not aloud to be regested emotional service. Dog.i am handicap. She seemed to try to deter me for getting. One. I didnt know i had to have training for a emotional support dog. I mainly want a companion to love care for. It makes me happy to be with animals to play with or brush. The reason i said going to training school was because i wanted to make sure we could learn each other out. Thats. All.

I volunteer at Paws and know there are amazing, wonderful, sweet dogs there looking for forever homes.

Wonderful, professional people doing great work. It can be very busy during showing times so fill out applications in advance and look into dog/cat profiles online ahead of time!

Amazing shelter. These people really put their all into helping find animals their forever homes.
