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.

Meet Tucker! An absolute little dreamboat of a mixed breed pup. He is estimated to be 4 months old by our veterinary staff. He is 20lbs. He had an emergency vet visit this morning as he was presenting as lame in his back end. Whining, panting and generally just unable to get comfortable. X-rays were negative for any type of break or fracture. He also tested negative for Lyme disease. We have him on pain medication that has definitely made him more comfortable and walking without limping. Tucker was found as a stray that went unclaimed. He’s had first vaccines and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. We’ve had him in a foster home for right around 24 hours. He’s fine with other dogs, will likely want to play when he’s feeling better, but right now mostly what he wants is to be in your lap. The statement, “ follow you around like a puppy” was created for him. He’s definitely a Velcro pup and wants to be where the people are. He absolutely loves children. He met a cat and was interested but not aggressive. He is not housebroken or crate trained but has done well in the time that he’s been with our foster. This perfect pup needs a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio so he can finish his veterinary care at one of our partner clinics in Logan or Somerset, Ohio. If you have other pets in your home be prepared to have proof of regular vaccinations, spay/neuter, and use of preventatives for fleas/ticks/heartworm disease.If Tucker will complete your family and you meet the above requirements. Please submit an application using the link in the comments below. Share for Tucker! ...

Dewalt came to us in September as part of a humane case. His wounds have healed, and he’s getting ready to begin heartworm treatment. Now, we need to get him out of the shelter and into a home where he can recover.Despite everything he’s been through, Dewalt is a very happy boy with a wiggle butt that just won’t quit! He’s dog friendly, cats are an unknown. Heartworm treatment is no joke. Dewalt needs a foster who can keep him quiet with crate time, leash walks only, and strict activity restrictions while he heals. His vet will provide medication to help keep him calm during treatment.We’re looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home in central or southeastern Ohio who can continue getting him to Mastersons Veterinary Clinic in Somerset for his care.If you have pets, they must be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, receive flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. This boy has already been failed by humans. Let’s show him that not all humans will let him down. He deserves a soft place to land and someone to help him through the next chapter.PLEASE SHARE DEWALT! We need to get this sweet boy out of the shelter. To apply to foster or foster-to-adopt, click the link in the comments below. ...

This brindle babe lost her home as a result of the catastrophic flooding that happened in Perry County in August. She has not had one application or inquiry. How is that possible?!?! Everyone wants puppies, right?Stormie is doing well with the dog in her foster home. She’s an energetic pup who would love an active family or a fenced yard to run to her hearts desire. Stormie is learning her house manners and is starting to get the hang of potty and crate training. Stormie has been on several road trips with her foster and has traveled beautifully and was a great house guest. She enjoyed meeting lots of new people. This sweet girl is approximately 5 months old. Breed is unknown other than mixed.If you can provide this girl with a lifetime of love please apply using the link in the comments below. If you have other pets they must be current on vaccines, spay/neutered, and on regular prevention for fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease. Please share for Stormie! ...

FOSTER SECURED!We closed cat intake because we’re already overwhelmed with cats, but this humane case has left us with another kitten who needs help. Meet Cheeto. He needs a safe place to land while he gets the vet care he needs.We’re looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home in Central or Southeastern Ohio. He hasn’t had vet care yet, so he will need to be kept completely separate from other cats until he can be seen by a vet.He deserves a chance at a good life, and we need your help to make that happen! To apply, please click the link in the comments below. Please share! ...
