Many people wonder about the photos of the animals that are used in the three departmental sections.
Ivan is a lowland Gorilla who spent over 20 years living in a cage in a discount department store in Tacoma, Washington. Thanks to the efforts of the PAWS Advocacy Department , Ivan was moved to a Gorilla colony at the the Atlanta Zoo, where he now lives comfortably among his new family. Jetta the Puppy Jetta was found in a Yakima, Washington dumpster, near death. PAWS's Companion Animal Services Department made sure that Jetta received prompt medical attention from the crack PAWS veterinary staff, and ensured that she was nursed to health by a dedicated PAWS foster care family, who eventually adopted her. This is just one of many baby black bears that the PAWS Wildlife Center helps to rehabilitate and return to the wild every year.
