Paws and Claws Animal Rescue Foundation is an all-volunteer run, registered, non-profit organization based in Alberta, Canada. Paws and Claws is a system of volunteer foster homes ( Red Deer, Sylvan Lake, Eckville & Edmonton ); families take needy dogs, puppies, cats and kittens into their own homes and provide loving care until a suitable home is found.
