PAWS Pink Script Applique CrewneckTHE STORY In 1997, PAWS founders Paula and Alexis Fasseas wanted to make a change to the horrible stray problem in Chicago. They created a non profit, no kill revolution, which was non existent at the time, with the help of the local community. Since their beginning, PAWS has helped over 80,000 pets become adopted, offered easy access to spay neuter, provided medical treatment to countless animals and been a beacon of light in the Chicago community.
