Welcome

Pause Animal Wellness Sanctuary (PAWS) is a nonprofit organization located in Colorado, USA, with a big heart and vision. While we are in the beginning stages of becoming a fully functioning sanctuary, our mission is to create a safe and loving haven for animals in need, especially those surrendered to kill shelters, abandoned, or abused. We also believe in the power of heart-centered connection and aim to offer educational and meditative opportunities to deepen the bond between humans and animals. As we work toward securing land and a dedicated space, we are laying the foundation for a future where both animals and people can heal, grow, and thrive together.
