150 West 24th Street
Los Angeles, CA 90007
PAWS/LA was founded in 1989 in response to the companion animal-related crises faced by residents of Los Angeles County who were financially and physically debilitated by HIV/AIDS. Since that time, the agency has expanded its scope to assist low-income seniors and any low-income individual living with a chronic or life-threatening illness. The PAWS/LA Programs are designed to ease the financial, physical, and emotional challenges of caring for a companion animal, both in and outside of the home.
