Thoughts on Compassion: Animal advocates create nonprofit

Thoughts on Compassion is an initiative of GivingMail’s team of fundraising experts. We want to highlight the amazing work of nonprofits that we love in our community. Join their cause. Be part of the change.

Founded in 2009, Paws Humane has been saving the lives of animals in need for nearly 10 years. Although Paws Humane has only been in existence for a decade, its roots date back to 1969 when Colonel Syd Sacerdote established the first animal shelter in Muscogee County, Georgia called the Muscogee County Humane Society. Then, in 1999, a group of animal welfare advocates who were dedicated to helping save even more animals created and started PAWS Columbus. By the year 2009, these two groups decided to merge and form Paws Humane. 

Paws Humane is the largest companion animal welfare organization in the Columbus region and its mission is to enrich the lives of both animals and people as a solution-based community resource for animal welfare by providing high-volume and high quality spay/neuter, rescue and adoption services, volunteer opportunities, outreach, and education.
