Paws Across Oswego County

Paws Across Oswego County was founded in 1999 by volunteers and friends of the Oswego City Animal Shelter. Incorporated as a not-for-profit in 2000, PAOC received its 501(c)3 tax exempt status in 2001. Our mission is threefold: (1) to assist animal shelters by donations and voluntary services; (2) to promote responsible pet ownership through education and special programs; and (3) to assist the local community and animal shelters in the spaying and neutering of companion animals by monetary and material donations, and voluntary services. We have undertaken a number of activities to pursue these goals: the Spay/Neuter Project Our major project is the ongoing spay/neuter of animals at the Oswego City Animal Shelter. A partial list of animals who have participated in this program can be seen elsewhere on this display.
