10 Days. We have 10 days to find a place to move mom and puppies. Yes, we’ve had a few people inquire, mostly folks that live 2 or more hours away. Folks that don’t have the flexibility in their jobs to take Bella and puppies to needed vet appointments. Some people didn’t realize there were ELEVEN puppies, that alone scared them away. One thing we’ve learned with Bella is that if it can happen to her or the litter, it will. She needs to be close to her vet. Placement in Athens, Nelsonville, Logan, Lancaster, Amanda, Columbus and Southern Perry County would be most ideal but we will consider other locations within a 60ish minute commute to Logan, Oh. As you can see their eyes are open and they are starting to take their first wobbly steps. They will be 3 weeks old Friday. Next week they will start getting their first taste of mashed food. We have most recently learned Bella is a bit of a Houdini and has escaped her enclosure. We are working with the foster on the best way to give her a break from the puppies, but keeping her safe. She will need her own space away from any other family pets you have. Other pets in your home need to be vaccinated, spay/neuter, and on prevention for fleas/ticks/heartworm. We know this is a big tall order. We understand everyone can’t help but everyone can share, so please, please share! ... See MoreSee Less

Today, PAWS dog Sonny visited Majestic Healthcare in New Lexington. He was there to pick up their donation for Spring for PAWS. While there, he visited with some of their residents and staff. If you have a donation you’d like Sonny to pick up from your office or place of business he’d be happy to oblige. He knows how important these donations are to this event. Monies raised at Spring for PAWS will allow him to complete his vaccinations and be neutered. Donations for our silent and live auction are needed. Monetary donations are welcome too. Message us to schedule Sonny to pick up your donation. ** Sonny is not available, he is already in a foster to adopt home. ... See MoreSee Less

Sometimes the best laid plans just don’t work out as we hope. That certainly is true for Baylee and her adopter. While devastated, Baylee’s adopter realized she wasn’t the best home for her. Last night, she was returned to us. It’s astounding to everyone that meets her that she was a stray that went unclaimed. She also was not chipped nor a name tag on her collar. Bailey is housebroken, crate trained, knows sit, no, leave it. She could use some leash work and is a jumper that needs someone to work with her on her manners. If you want a level 10 Velcro dog, Baylee is your girl. Shes happiest laying right on top of you! She will follow you to the bathroom and cheer you on! Need a snack, she’s following you to see what you get. Sitting on the sofa, she will sit so close you won’t know where she ends and you begin. Don’t think for one minute your bed is your own. She is a professional spooner. If you can agree to these conditions, Baylee may be the dog for you. She is 100% a people dog and wants to be with them every minute of every day. Baylee was dog tested at the shelter and did fine. We do not recommend a home with cats and maybe even small dogs. Baylee is a big fan of toys and in true Labrador fashion, she loves to play ball. Baylee loves kids but due to her wiggle butt nature, and urge to jump, we are recommending a home with kids 10 and up. This golden girl saw our friends at Logan Animal Clinic. They all gushed over her beauty and behavior. She was a good girl, although not thrilled about the blood work. Consequently, Baylee tested positive for Lyme disease and has been treated. She is believed to be approximately 2 years old. Baylee is significantly overweight and needs someone dedicated to helping her get her girlish figure back. A reduction in food/treats with an increase in activity is needed. She has completed all her veterinary care and is ready to be adopted. If you wish to apply for Baylee, other pets in your home must be current on vaccinations, spayed, and neutered, and on prevention for flea, ticks, and heartworm disease. The link to apply will be in the comments below. Please share for the beauty, please share for Baylee!! ... See MoreSee Less

‼️12 days‼️ We have 12 days to find a place for Mama Bella and her babies. Due to no fault of her own, we must move this family by March 20th. We supply all the pee pads, food, things needed for this adorable bunch. Bella provides you with undying gratitude, love and snuggles, plus you get puppy breath and the satisfaction of knowing you played a part in saving this family. We are genuinely concerned, we have no place for them to go. Do you have a basement, extra room, heated garage? Once the puppies are 8 weeks we will be placing everyone in foster or foster to adopt homes once secured. You must live in an area that you would be able to transport Bella to her follow up appointments. Other pets must be vaccinated, spay/neutered, and on preventatives for flea, ticks and heartworm disease. Please, please share. The situation is urgent. ... See MoreSee Less
