Our local dog shelter is beyond full. We would like to help alleviate their overcrowding by bringing some of these dogs into PAWS. We need fosters or foster to adopt homes for the dogs below. Potential candidates must live in Central or SE Ohio so the dogs can be vetted at one of our two partner clinics in Logan or Somerset. Other pets in your home must be vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and on regular prevention. What information is known about the dogs is under their pictures below. Please share!!!The link to apply is in the comments below. ...

This boy, with the stunning eyes is ready for a home of his own. Ducky came to us as a humane case in very poor shape. Shortly after entering his foster home he crashed and had to be rushed to MedVet. Two nights and a blood transfusion later he finally stabilized. This boy has put on weight and has really rebounded into a healthy, happy boy. His neuter is scheduled for later this month and he will be ready to go. Ducky is a mixed breed and only 10 months old. Ducky is good with dogs and cats. He keeps a clean crate and has pretty much mastered housebreaking. He’s a bit of a Houdini and has learned how to open the door and let himself outside.Can we talk about his eyes?!?! They are the most incredible eyes we’ve ever seen. Half blue, half hazel and he can look straight to your heart with them.If you’d like to make Ducky a member of your family, please click the link in the comments below to apply. Other pets in your home must be spay/neutered, current on vaccines, and on regular prevention. This is non negotiable. Please share for this most deserving boy! ...

We may have originated in Perry County but we are 💯 a multi-county rescue. We have dogs in foster homes in Athens, Hocking, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, and Muskingum counties as of today. Today, we truly realized how valued our work is outside of Perry County when we received a sizable donation from an angel in Athens County. Less than 24 hours after we had to close intake we are cautiously able to re-open. Our priority will continue to be the pets displaced by flooding, supporting our dog shelter that is horribly overwhelmed with dogs, and sick/injured animals. Below are all the animals available for a foster to adopt home in one of the counties listed above. Jersey needs a foster home so we can get him out of boarding. We need other folks to step up as fosters so when a request comes through we have a plan in place for a dog/cat in need. We are by no means out of the woods financially, but our board can breathe tonight without chest pains. Everybody wants somebody to do something…..you are somebody, and we need you. To foster or adopt, please click the link in the comments below. You can also use that link to donate. ...

Ok friends, we need your help! Jersey has been staying with the kind folks at Turning Tails Pet Company since he was found unmoving underneath a bush in Southern Perry County several weeks ago. He has received excellent care and attention from the staff, top shelf in fact, however it’s not a home. We need a foster or foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio so he can finish his veterinary care at one of our clinics in Logan or Somerset. Jersey couldn’t move because he had Lyme disease. A simple monthly prevention tablet would’ve prevented so much pain and suffering for this most handsome boy. Jersey is a snuggler and cuddler of the largest proportions. We believe he is housebroken but it’s difficult to tell in a kennel setting. He’s a young guy, only about a year old. He’s participated in doggy day care and been fine with other dogs except for his excited humping. We will be scheduling his neuter in the coming weeks. Jersey has one rule. Do not touch his feet. Ever. He hates it and isn’t afraid to let you know. We don’t know how Jersey feels about cats. We are recommending older children who can respect Jersey’s aversion to having his feet touched.If you have other pets in your home they must be spay/neutered, vaccinated, and on regular monthly prevention. To apply click the link in the comments below. ...
