Paradise Animal Welfare Society is rooted in a deep love for the animals and people of Crested Butte. Every day brings an opportunity to make a meaningful difference—whether that means reuniting lost pets with their families, helping a pet owner manage unexpected veterinary costs, or guiding adoptable animals into warm and lasting homes. The organization also supports foster care outreach, assists with microchipping and registration, and works hard to ensure that financial limitations never stand in the way of a healthy, happy life for a companion animal.

Beyond direct care, PAWS champions responsible ownership and education to build a more compassionate community. Preventing cruelty and neglect is a top priority, and the team actively shares knowledge about the needs and well-being of pets. With every service offered and every family helped, Paradise Animal Welfare Society strengthens the bond between humans and animals creating a safer, kinder place for every furry friend who calls Crested Butte home.
