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.

We are happy to share Athena went to her new family this afternoon. She’s our very first bottle baby, she’s so special to us all. We had a village helping us with her! Thank you to Casey for keeping her alive those first scary weeks with around the clock bottle feedings. Then Jodi took over and started her on the basics. Crate training and potty training. This girl got such a solid start. We are so thrilled to give Athena her happy ending. ... See MoreSee Less

Maya is the kitten that was thrown into a driveway last week. She was vet checked and is a healthy, happy kitten. She tested negative for feline diseases, got wormed, vaccinated and received her flea meds. This sweet girl is great with children and using a litter box. Unfortunately the older cat in the foster home has not been welcoming to Maya and is not nice to her. We need to move her ASAP. If you can foster or adopt Maya please click the link in the comments below. ... See MoreSee Less

This is little Lottie. She was dumped on a dead end road several weeks ago. We are just now able to post on this sweet girl because we had to get her healthy first. She’s 8-9 weeks old, had first vaccines, feline tested negative and using a litter box. This darling is ready for a foster to adopt home in central or SE Ohio so that she can continue her vet care at one of our two partner clinics in Logan or Somerset. Once spayed, we’ll finalize the adoption and you can take the records to your vet clinic. Click the link in the comments below to apply for Lottie. Please share!! ... See MoreSee Less

This right here is why spay/neuter is so important. We announced earlier this week we will be offering low-cost spay/neuter options for cats and dogs. This project is supported by a grant from the Community Foundation for Perry County an affiliate foundation partner of the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio. As expected, within 3 days, all the grant funding we received has been allocated for spays and neuters in our county. If you sent your email before 7:30am Saturday, August 8th. YOUR SPOT IS SECURE. We will not be able to accept any more applications at this time. Please know we are actively seeking other grant opportunities for more spay/neuter funding. We will let you know if/when we can open this back up. Thank you again to the Community Foundation of Perry County for believing in our mission and supporting the animals and people of Perry County. ... See MoreSee Less

UPDATE! Currently we have commitments from 3 people who will foster, and enough funds to fully vet 3. Please don’t make us leave 4 behind! They are still with the owner. We can’t take them unless we know we have a place for them to go!We can’t save them all. That’s the heartbreaking reality of rescue. These 7 Pitbull- Labrador mixes need someone to step up and be their savior. Not only do we need 7 people willing to foster, we need to raise the money to have these pups vetted. $3,000 to be exact. We hate that the ability to save a litter of unwanted pups comes down to the generosity of others be it time (fostering) or money (donating). We absolutely can’t do this without you. If you can foster, click the link in the comments below. You can also donate via our website. Pets in your home must be current on vaccines, spay/neutered and on prevention for flea/ticks and heartworm disease.We know this is a tall order, but we know not trying wasn’t an option. Can you help us with a miracle? ... See MoreSee Less
