Join us Saturday August 19th from 11am-3pm for a meet and greet with dogs from Paw Works! 

What is Paw Works?

Paw Works is a Southern California nonprofit animal rescue dedicated to partnering with county and city shelters to give abandoned animals a second chance at life. In just eight short years, they have saved over 12,500 abandoned dogs and cats and placed them in caring homes. Established on January 17, 2014, Paw Works was founded with the clear mission: to help make Ventura County “No Kill”. Ventura County was able to achieve “No Kill” status less than a month after they were formed, through the sheer determination and support provided directly from their organization. With 98% of every donated dollar going back directly to the rescue, care, education and adoption to the animals saved, Paw Works has been able to achieve significant growth in just eight years. Now, they are revolutionizing the rescue community further with the expansion of their new Veterinary Hospital. Opened March 2021, it serves as the first rescue-run veterinary in Ventura County, with the focus of rescue and affordable care for the community.

Adoption Event 

Our adoption event will be Saturday August 19th from 11am-3pm at the DeFrenS Showroom. Come meet a variety of adoptable dogs from puppies to adults! Dogs will not be officially adopted on the day of the event, but will be placed on a hold for adopters to make it official the following day at the Paw Works Center. All are invited to shop inside the showroom. 15% of DeFrenS proceeds on Saturday the 19th will go to Paw Works to support their life saving efforts.
