is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping animals in Wise, Lee, and Dickenson Counties in Virginia. We work with the County Shelters and our community to find homes for unwanted, abused, or neglected animals. We also assist with a spay/neuter program to ensure that all animals adopted through PAWS are spayed/neutered. If you are interested in volunteering with PAWS, please PM us or go to our website www.pawsswva.org and submit our volunteer form.

Meet Iris! 🐾
Look at that striking, fluffy coat! Iris is a gorgeous 3-year-old long-haired tortie with a look that is completely unique—even her little paws are a beautiful mix of multiple colors. 😻

Iris is a gentle, soulful girl who prefers the quiet life. She is a bit shy and reserved at first, but once she knows she's safe and starts to trust you? Total flip of the switch! She becomes absolutely starved for attention and loves loves loves being loved on. She is so incredibly gentle that she will even let you brush her sweet belly.

If you have a little patience to let her blossom, you will be rewarded with a fiercely loyal, treat-loving cuddle bug who just wants to be near you.

The Details:
Age: 3 years old
Coat: Long-haired Tortoiseshell
Health: Spayed, healthy, and up-to-date on all shots!
