WELCOME! P.A.W.S. - The Peoples Alliance for Wildlife Survival, Inc., is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of Florida's indigenous wildlife and their habitats. PAWS is not a political action committee, (PAC), or a political lobby organization, though many of our members are constantly in contact with state and federal lawmakers and producers of policy regarding wildlife and conservation matters.
PAWS is all about the animals. One of our most important projects is the establishment and implementation of a FIRST RESPONDER network of veterinarians, biologists, botanists, wildlife experts, and dedicated layperson voulunteers, to rescue, treat, and rehabilitate injured wildlife with a goal of reintroduction back into the appropriate ecosystem.
All of our Officers, Directors and administrators are non-compensated volunteers. After direct expenses, over 98% of contributions made to PAWS, are utilized in efforts to reach our mission goals.

We're not only about wildlife with PAWS. We're also concerned about our animal friends with feathers, scales, tails, beaks, bills, pelts, flippers and fins. In fact, we're concerned about every indigenous wildlife species, especially those listed as ENDANGERED or THREATENED.

Questions about this site
ILLEGAL DRUG ACTIVITY in Florida's forests is extremely detrimental to wildlife that comes in contact with residual chemicals and discarded containers left behind as a result of roaming drug labs. Of course, there is also the ever-present risk of explosions and fires from these activities, as well as inherent acts of violence and intimidation that arise from them.
