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.

It’s time. Time to find Ducky the home dreams are made of. His fosters say he is so special they will not settle for anything less than awesome and they will wait however long that takes to find the most perfect home. Ducky is a most special boy who has defied death, he deserves the moon. Let us start with what we’re not looking for….. A Home that does not value regular veterinary care. This includes yearly vaccinations by a vet, your pets being spayed and neutered, and receiving monthly prevention for fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease. Ducky received none of that, and as a result, he nearly died. Please do not waste your time or ours if you do not have an outstanding vet reference. Ducky deserves nothing less.His Foster to adopt Home should be in Central or southeastern Ohio so he can continue his vet care at one of our clinics in Logan or Somerset. Once he is able to be neutered, we will finalize the adoption and you can transfer his veterinary records to the clinic of your choice.Ducky is doing great with housebreaking. He loves his crate. It’s his safe space. He keeps it clean overnight and while his fosters are at work. He loves toys, other dogs, very tolerant of cats, and is good with kids. While he’s only 42 pounds he can be a little bit of a bull in a China shop. His size and bark could deter an intruder. However, his eyes could melt the hardest of hearts.Ducky is 9.5 months old. He is a mixed breed. We could speculate, but it would be nothing more than a guess. Does it truly matter what his DNA says when he’s a complete angel. To apply to adopt click the link in the comments below, and let’s make this boy the luckiest duck ever!Please share!!! ... See MoreSee Less
