Look at this little nugget. He finished his vetting this week and is ready for his new home. What a unique pup. Long ears, wiry hair, big feet. Onyx is 6 months old and was left in a field to fend for himself with his sister Opal (who has been adopted). They were so fearful they had to be live trapped. Within hours of rescue, they totally relaxed and became regular puppies. As you can see in the photos below, Onyx loves other dogs and does great with them. He’s also ok with cats. He is a playful pup that keeps a clean crate and is pretty much housebroken. His foster says he’s a dream of a boy. To apply click the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be spay/neutered, current on vaccinations, and on regular flea/tick/heartworm prevention. We are looking for responsible pet owners that value regular veterinary care. Please share to help Onyx find his Christmas home! 🐾♥️🐾 ... See MoreSee Less

Sometimes the dogs who have been through the most… love the hardest.Meet Angel & Sadie — a bonded mother–daughter duo with spirits as bright as ever.Angel (mom, 12) and Sadie (daughter, 9) are two Pomeranian mixes whose owner heartbreakingly lost her home. They were living in a tent when we were asked to step in. Our community rallied immediately, and a foster was secured within hours. At their first vet visit, we learned that their story goes even deeper. And after a few weeks with our foster, what we really learned is that these two are not ready to give up on life just yet. Angel (12 yrs):This sweet lady has multiple mammary masses and an inguinal hernia. Treating these would require several major surgeries, each with a tough and risky recovery at her age. Instead, she’s on a pain management plan — and with that support, she’s comfortable, happy, and thriving day-to-day.Sadie (9 yrs):Sadie has a bad hip and is also better suited for medical management over surgery. She may be missing half her teeth, but don’t worry … food disappears just fine. Most importantly: Angel and Sadie are not dogs looking to cross the rainbow bridge anytime soon. They are joyful, loving, bright-eyed girls who still have plenty of life to enjoy. Our goal is simply to give them quality over quantity — avoiding painful, difficult recoveries and instead giving them the comfort, peace, and love they deserve.These girls adore lap time, snuggles, and quiet companionship. Sadie even prefers her own special chair. Both walk well on a leash and are improving with potty training. And above all else — they have each other.We are seeking a calm, stable home. Preferably with kids 10 and older. A palliative adopter to give them what every senior dog deserves:A warm bed, gentle hands, and a peaceful home… not to say goodbye, but to enjoy the time they still have left to the fullest and able to have the funds to provide for their monthly medication.If your heart is calling you to Angel & Sadie, please reach out.Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t adding years to a life… but adding love to their years.Application to adopt this bonded pair is located in the comments below. ...

These babies were born to a feral mom. Thankfully she brought them to a caring family who has kept them safe and socialized them. They will be spaying mom and keeping her as a barn cat, but we are helping these darlings to find their happy ending. Meet Nicholas, Jolly, and Frosty. They are all males, and we are estimating them to be 10 weeks. They will be available Tuesday once they’ve had their first vet visit. These babies are using a litterbox. They will need several rounds of vaccines and neutered to finish their vetting. These babies need a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio that can take them to one of our vet clinics in Logan or Somerset so they can complete their care. To apply, use the link in the comments. ... See MoreSee Less

It’s Giving Tuesday. We hope that you will consider us worthwhile of your donation. We are a 501 c3 non-profit so your donation is tax deductible. PAWS is run strictly by a small group of volunteers, we have no paid staff so your donation goes directly to helping animals in need. We are asking this year your donations be made in memory of Macy. If you are unfamiliar with her story, Macy was afflicted with distemper. A disease that is easily prevented by a simple vaccination. We could not save her, despite our best attempts. Your donations will help us save others that come into our care. You can donate via our Facebook page, or via our website, link in the comments below. If you prefer to mail a check, send us a message, we’d be happy to give you our mailing address. #givingtuesday#vaccinate#spayneuter#adopt#rescue ... See MoreSee Less
