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.

Pets in Need

This is a courtesy post. This dog is not with PAWS. If you are interested, please, private messages us, and we will connect you with the owner. No judgment, please. 🏡 Looking for the Perfect Home 🐾This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to make. I’ve put this off in hopes of this other home coming through, but it seems I need to reach out to more. Due to the demands of my working K9 and the fact that he ( working k9) doesn’t always get along with other male dogs, I’ve made the heartbreaking decision to find my personal dog Nox, the home he deserves. This decision is entirely about giving both dogs the best opportunity to live happy, fulfilling lives. He is incredibly loyal, goofy, and full of personality. He loves to “talk” and isn’t shy about letting you know how he’s feeling. His silly antics and playful nature will keep you laughing, and once he trusts you, he’s the kind of dog who wants to be your shadow. Nox is up to to date on vaccines and neutered. He’s also housebroken and crate trained. He’s done well with small dogs and enjoys having canine companions that match his personality. Older dogs, however, tend to get annoyed with his high energy and playful enthusiasm, so he’d do best with a younger, playful dog. He did well with the kittens/puppies I’ve fostered in the past and doesn’t mind the neighbors chickens in the yard. He’s good with kids too! He doesn’t immediately trust every person he meets. He’s naturally cautious around strangers and needs someone who understands that trust takes time. He isn’t looking for someone to “fix” him—he’s looking for someone patient, kind, and consistent who will let him build confidence at his own pace. Once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll have an incredibly devoted companion.Nox was rescued from a shelter around a year old, We are estimating his age to be around 3 years old. We had a DNA test done and is American pitbull, American Bulldog, and LAB! He loves to go on walks and car rides, LOVES his chew toys and chuck it balls, loves the water and going on runs! I’m looking for an experienced owner who understands dogs and is willing to continue helping him grow. Finding the right home is far more important than finding a home quickly.If you think you could give him the life he deserves, please send us a message. ... See MoreSee Less

Happy 250 America!! While we have much to celebrate and be thankful for, please, please, PLEASE leave your pets at home for celebrations that include fireworks. The number of lost dogs that have gone missing already this morning is heartbreaking. Dog hearing is much stronger than humans, so even dogs who have not shown signs of noise sensitivity could be overwhelmed and frightened by a fireworks display. Have a safe and happy 4th of July! ...
