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.

This kitten was just thrown out of a car on Lincoln St. in New Lexington. The driver was said to be a heavy woman with glasses, with short dark hair. If you know someone who matches this description that recently had kittens we’d love to talk with them. Please send us a private message. Share this especially in the New Lexington area! ...

Let’s talk about adoption requirements, shall we? On every post we list the criteria, yet invariably we get multiple applications that don’t meet the guidelines we as a board, have set to be eligible to adopt. We spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars on dogs that weren’t provided regular flea/tick/heartworm prevention, animals that weren’t appropriately vaccinated, and pets that their owners didn’t think spaying or neutering was important. These are the very BASIC necessities recommended to us by our veterinary partners. The bare minimum. If doing the bare minimum is not something you feel is important, we are not the rescue for you. We understand there are lots of strong opinions, and many people think we are too strict. They are entitled to their opinions, just as we are entitled to make the decisions we feel are best for the dogs/cats in our care. Love. Is. Not. Enough. There is a significant financial responsibility to owning a dog and providing adequate veterinary care is part of that responsibility. Just to be clear, if your dog is not spayed or neutered, you do not qualify to adopt. If your dog does not receive yearly checks up with a vet that includes vaccinations, you do not qualify to adopt. If you don’t provide prevention that will protect your dog from fleas, tick borne diseases, and heartworm disease, you do not qualify to adopt. The dogs and cats below are counting on us to make decisions on their behalf. We owe it to them to give them best homes possible.#spayneuter#adoptdontshop#vaccinate ... See MoreSee Less
