This weekend Drake was adopted! This was not just any adoption, but one that brought his family on a 10-12 hour round trip adventure to meet this handsome boy. We often forget how far reaching our Facebook posts go. Drake is the perfect example of why shares are so important, as he now has the most exceptional family. Have your best life Drake! ...

There are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes that never make it to Facebook at PAWS. This started out to be one of those things, but after reflecting on the situation, we think this is something that needs to be shared. We need to bring awareness to a plight that is affecting some members of our communities. A little over a week ago, someone reached out to us on the behalf of an area pet owner. His dog had been hit by a car; however the owner is homeless and needed help with veterinary care. The dog has been hospitalized for 10 days and is likely looking at a minimum of another 7 days (best case scenario.) We are easily looking at 3k to help this dog. Additionally, the owner is living in his van. He’s on every waiting list that there is for housing, but the fact is there’s not enough housing in this area. They are estimating that there are approximately 46 homeless people in Perry County; 20-30% of them have pets. Here are ways you can help:- donate dog or cat food to a food pantry- follow the Perry Housing Coalition on Facebook.- donate to the Perry Housing Coalition.We can no longer pretend this doesn’t impact our little niche of the world. If you would like to donate to the care of the dog below, please go to perryanimalwelfaresociety.com If you would like to help his owner, send us a private message. Our board of directors put together a care package for him because helping the dog is only part of what’s needed. ... See MoreSee Less
