Norwalk’s PAWS visits Stepping Stones Museum the first Saturday of every month at 11am as part of the national Mutt-i-grees program. Both children and adults alike can enjoy visits from a PAWS dog on December 1 and hear from a PAWS representative about shelter animals, adoption and safe handling techniques (especially geared toward children). In addition, every Tuesday PAWS offers the fun and educational program from 1:30 to 2:30pm.

PAWS is a shelter with a network of volunteers who provide shelter, medical care and affection to animals while finding loving homes for homeless and abused dogs and cats.
