We are a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for animals and people in our community. We operate an adoption center and dog park located at 132 Joseph Martin Highway. Shelley Frith Drane Adoption Center Open to Public: Tuesday thru Friday, 10:00am to 6:00pm, Saturday 10:00am to 4:00pm. We are closed on Sunday and Monday. Call 638-PAWS to schedule your visit during closed hours.

Dog Park and Walking Trail: Now open to well behaved, properly vaccinated canine citizens during daylight hours. Please leave the park as you found it, by leaving nothing but footprints and taking nothing but pictures. If you are interested in donating animal playground equipment for all to enjoy, please contact us.

Here is a sampling of who is available for adoption at 132 Joseph Martin Highway in Martinsville.

Within the heart of every stray
lies the singular desire to be loved
