Paws Place

We're glad that you are interested in adopting a new pet from us. The following information is requested so that we can assist you in the selection of a new pet. The application form and consultation with a Paw's Place representative is designed to help us determine if the adoption is in the animal's best interest, and to assist you in finding an animal most compatible with your lifestyle.

We are located at 242 George II Hwy in Winnabow, which is about (15 minutes), 17 miles south of downtown Wilmington. Volunteers are highly valued within our organization, as you are the 'heart beat' to keep us going. We want your experience to be safe, fun, and rewarding as possible. While we appreciate someone wanting to volunteer, we would like for he/she to be able to volunteer at least 9 hours per month on an ongoing basis. This is our policy due to the administrative workload associated with training new volunteers as well as coordinating the daily volunteer schedule.

To ensure that you receive volunteer-related messages and updates, please put @pawsplace.org on your "whitelist", "safe" or permitted email sender list.

The Paws Place foster family is a very important part of our organization. It is through the generous hearts and homes of our volunteers; we ensure that animals who come into our care will be taken care of in the interim before going into their forever home. All we ask is for you to open your heart and your home to a dog in need of a second chance.

If you rent, please provide documentation that you have the owner's permission for this dog to live in your home. Are you willing to have a representative of Paw's Place come to see where the pet will be living?
