Desc	ADOPTIONS: DURING 2021, PAWS TOOK IN 894 ANIMALS AND ADOPTED 881 TOTAL CATS AND DOGS. SENIOR ANIMALS: PAWS ASPIRES TO SAVE ALL HEALTHY PETS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGE AND NEEDS TO MEET THE CHALLENGE OF PLACING OLDER FRIENDS INTO NEW, LOVING HOMES. AS SUCH, PAWS CONTINUES TO INTAKE SENIOR DOGS AND CATS. WITH THE CONTINUED COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AN AGING HUMAN POPULATION, AND EXPENSIVE MEDICAL CONCERNS, PAWS REGULARLY INTAKES ELDERLY ANIMALS. THE COMMON PERCEPTION IS THAT PEOPLE DON'T WANT OLDER ANIMALS BUT WE ARE FINDING A SMALL NICHE OF BENEVOLENT PEOPLE WHO WILL TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF GIVING A SENIOR ANIMAL A LOVING HOME. IN-HOUSE SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES: PAWS IN-HOUSE SURGERIES STRENGTHENED OUR MISSION AND ADOPTIONS BECAUSE ANIMALS COULD BE SPAYED/NEUTERED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY UPON INTAKE, THUS REDUCING THE TIME SPENT AT PAWS WAITING TO BE SPAYED/NEUTERED BY ALMOST 1 WEEK. IN-HOUSE SPAY/NEUTERS ALSO REDUCED THE STRESS OF TRANSPORT AND REDUCED COSTS ON EMERGENCY SURGERIES. DURING 2021, 425 ANIMALS WERE SPAYED/NEUTERED IN-HOUSE AND 60 WERE OUTSOURCED.IN-HOUSE DENTAL SURGERIES: PAWS BELIEVES IN ANIMAL DENTAL CARE AS GUM INFLAMMATION AND TOOTH LOSS CAN BE VERY PAINFUL FOR THE ANIMAL, AS WELL AS COSTLY FOR THEIR OWNERS. DURING 2021, PAWS PERFORMED ITS FIRST IN-HOUSE DENTAL SURGERY AND COMPLETED ANOTHER 25 DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. IN-HOUSE DENTAL SURGERIES ALLOWS PAWS TO TREAT OLDER ANIMALS WHO ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE DENTAL DISEASE.PAWS ALSO PERFORMED A NUMBER OF IN-HOUSE EMERGENCY SURGERIES, SUCH AS MASS REMOVALS, EMERGENCY CESARIAN SECTIONS DURING PREGNANCY, ETC.
