Johnstown Animal Welfare Society (JAWS) is an all-volunteer coalition of animal lovers, home-based rescues, and trappers who came together for the discarded, unwanted and abused animals.
Our mission is to save the lives of animals around Johnstown through education, access to low cost clinics, advocating with local government, and supporting rescues. We work to support our partner rescues as they turn street cats and dogs into house pets, as well as supporting individual members who focus on the care of their local colonies and community cats. If adopting from one of our rescue partners all animals recieve full vetting, so you can be confident your new pet is getting their best “fresh start”.
