Paws and Claws Humane Society of Rochester MN, strives to promote and provide humane protection and shelter for abandoned or lost companion animals, and seek adoptive homes for companion animals under their protective care.

The Paws & Claws Mission is to:
  • Promote and provide humane protection and shelter for abandoned or lost companion animals.
  • Seek adoptive homes for companion animals under our protective care.
  • Provide community education regarding the societal problem of animal overpopulation.
  • Promote the principles of responsible companion animal care.
  • Advocate the spaying and neutering of all companion animals.

Paws & Claws does not euthanize except in the case of critical injury, terminal illness, debilitating pain, or severe behavioral problems in which the animal is a danger to themselves, or other animals or humans.
 
Our Vision
Paws & Claws will be the animal shelter of choice in southeast Minnesota by being the acknowledged leader in:

  • Rescue and Care of Abandoned Animals
  • Enhancing the Quality of Life for Individuals and Families Through the Adoption of Companion Animals
  • Health and Animal Care Education
  • Partners with the Community
  • Ease of Access
