PAWS broke ground on a new headquarters in South Philadelphia on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026. The $15 million project will encompass 18,500 square feet and is expected to triple the organization’s capacity for animal rescue and adoption.
The new facility will provide additional space for the group’s adoption programs, rescue operations and low‑cost veterinary services. PAWS, which operates shelters and veterinary clinics throughout the city, is expanding its footprint to meet growing demand for animal‑welfare services.
The construction marks a significant investment in expanding resources for Philadelphia’s animal‑care network.
