When you bring a furry friend into your home, you’re making a lifetime commitment to care for and love that pet. It means being financially responsible and having a stable lifestyle.  

Volunteers Who Match Pets with Loving Homes

Located in Perry County, OH,  PAWS – Perry Animal Welfare Society is a 501(c)3 that was established in 2018. Our mission is to re-home dogs and cats with loving and committed families.

We do not own or operate a shelter. We have an incredible team of volunteers and foster families who temporarily care for the pets we rescue.

We thoroughly review applications from those who apply to foster or adopt our dogs or cats. We do our best to ensure that the family or individual is committed to the pet’s care for its entire life.

We strive to make sure the pet is the best fit for the family or individual, and likewise.

Pets in Need

UPDATE! Foster secured, adopter still needed‼️URGENT‼️URGENT‼️This is our 5th owner surrender request in 24 hours, and it’s urgent! We need an IMMEDIATE FOSTER OR ADOPTER.Jasper is an 8 month old male puppy. He is approximately 20 pounds. He has received all vaccinations and has been neutered according to his owner. Unfortunately, Jasper barks when his owner leaves and the neighbors are complaining. She faces eviction if she cannot find him a new home. She was on a waiting list for over a year to get in to this senior housing, she cannot lose her home. Being a puppy, and his owner being older, he’s not getting any exercise which I’m sure is compounding his barking when she’s gone. Jasper is good with other dogs, has never been exposed to cats. He’s good on a leash, is crate trained and housebroken to both outside and pee pads. This sweet little boy needs our help. If you can save Jaspers day and his owners home, please apply using the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be current on vaccinations, spay/neutered, an on regular flea/tick/heartworm prevention. He is not a dog for an apartment complex. Share, share, share!!! Time is not in Jasper’s favor. ... See MoreSee Less

Rudy is our first Pet of the week and he’s being sponsored by The Healthy Pet Vet at Logan Animal Clinic. This clinic is owned and operated by Dr. Sandy Hern. Logan Animal Clinic is located at 161 Iron St., Logan Oh. Rudy was found as a stray with his sister who went unclaimed. He was emaciated, had Lyme disease and was lame in his left leg that ultimately required surgery. Rudy has been with us over six months. Part of that time has been due to him needing surgery/recovery, part of that is due to zero interest in this most beautiful boy. Rudy is nearly a year old and has the most exquisite velvety ears. Stroking them is an immediate stress reliever. Rudy is 100% housebroken. Is good with cats, and all dogs in his foster home. His recall is that typical of a hound, if his nose smells something more interesting he’s going to follow that instead. Rudy will need to be leashed when outside. He still walks with a limp and when he runs will pick up that back left leg. It doesn’t stop him at all in his romping with the other dogs. Rudy is a level 10 cuddler especially when sleeping. He’s not fan of the crate. If you can give this most handsome hound his happily ever after please apply at perryanimalwelfaresociety.comIf you have other pets in your home they must be spay/neutered, current on vaccinations and on regular for/tick/heartworm prevention. Please, please share for Rudy. He’s way past time for his own home. ... See MoreSee Less

This is Bert (of the brother duo Bert and Ernie). If you remember, the brothers were surrendered with abnormal fluid that needed drained from their heads. That has since resolved. This hound/boxer mix is approximately 5 months old and we are expecting to be a big boy. Bert is a very sweet, loving puppy. He loves his humans, loves to snuggle and take naps on your lap. He wants to please. He is very smart and is treat/food motivated. He learns things quickly. Potty training is going well but we're not completely there yet. He loves being outside with his humans and gets along well with other dogs and doesn't mind sharing his toys. He has not been cat tested yet. He love's going for car rides and doesn't get sick in the car. If you can provide this squishy face with a furever home please apply using the link in the comments. Other pets in your home must be spayed and neutered, current on vaccines, and use regular flea/tick/heartworm prevention. All the shares for Bert! Tomorrow we will feature Ernie. ... See MoreSee Less
