The mission of aPaws is to increase the level of awareness in the animal waste industry, to raise the level of the public's awareness of our profession, and to create added benefits for our members.
aPaws is a trade association of professional pooper scoopers. Our main concern is making sure pet waste is cleaned up from residential and commercial properties. We uphold a strict standard of what is to be expected of our members in the care and treatment of all animals.
Pet waste is a problem we all face whether we own a dog, cat, horse, goose, etc. Most cities have adopted pooper scooper laws requiring you to clean up after your pet or you could face fines. Having your yard cleaned up by a pet waste removal specialist on a regular basis will save you time and money, and your yard will thank you!
