Mission Statement:
C.L.A.W.S. is a 501 (c)(3) Animal Rescue Organization that has been operating since 1969 serving New Jersey's Bergen & Hudson Counties. C.L.A.W.S. consists of a group of Board Members and Volunteers who devote their time and efforts into rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing unwanted, stray or abandoned animals. We have no paid employees and receive no state funding. We exist solely on donations and money made from fundraisers held throughout each year. We are not a shelter. All animals in our care are safely cared for in foster homes throughout the area and are given medical care from local veterinarians. We take pride in our work and in making a difference in the lives of rescue animals.
