PAAS is a volunteer-based social networking group who partners with the Arlington Animal Services staff to assist in reducing the shelter's euthanasia rate. The PAAS Facebook page was created to give the animals at the AAS a more broad exposure to pet fosters, adopters, and rescuers via social media.
