Mission Statement

Paws4Nac’s mission is to support the Nacogdoches Animal Shelter through shelter-level volunteer training programs that assist with daily operations and strengthen care for the community’s sheltered pets. Paws4Nac raises funds to support the placement of shelter dogs and cats by networking with foster homes, rescue organizations, and transport partners to increase positive outcomes at the Nacogdoches shelter. The organization also secures donations, sponsorships, and grants to expand affordable spay and neuter services for community-owned pets and to feral cat Trap–Neuter–Return (TNR) programs that reduce feral cat overpopulation, promote public health and safety, prevent cats from entering the shelter, and lower overall intake.
