UPDATE! A temporary foster home has been secured for Baylee. We are accepting applications for adoption. ‼️We know, we know. Everything is always urgent, everything is always a crisis‼️ Welcome to rescue, where we are constantly fighting the good fight while our hair is on fire. Trying to save cats and dogs while working full time jobs, having some semblance of a family life is not for the weak. Its calls and texts at all hours of the day and night. It’s exhausting and it’s been one emergency after another for the past 3 weeks. Today we need IMMEDIATE placement for Baylee or we will need to put her in a boarding kennel. Which would not be in her best interest. Baylee is a 2 year old energetic Lab who is a good girl with some bad habits. She pulls on a leash, she jumps on people, and doesn’t know her size around little ones. She needs to be mentally and physically stimulated. She is housebroken and crate trained. We have a trainer that has agreed to help Baylee become the best dog she can be, we just need someone willing to put in the time and effort with her. She did fine with dogs she was introduced to at the shelter. No cats. Kids should be 10 and over due to her size and enthusiasm. Baylee is seriously overweight. She needs someone committed to reducing her caloric intake with adding some exercise.If you can help our Baylee girl, temporarily or forever please submit an application using the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be vaccinated, on regular prevention for fleas, ticks and heartworm disease. They also must be spayed and neutered. Please share for Baylee! ... See MoreSee Less

10 Days. We have 10 days to find a place to move mom and puppies. Yes, we’ve had a few people inquire, mostly folks that live 2 or more hours away. Folks that don’t have the flexibility in their jobs to take Bella and puppies to needed vet appointments. Some people didn’t realize there were ELEVEN puppies, that alone scared them away. One thing we’ve learned with Bella is that if it can happen to her or the litter, it will. She needs to be close to her vet. Placement in Athens, Nelsonville, Logan, Lancaster, Amanda, Columbus and Southern Perry County would be most ideal but we will consider other locations within a 60ish minute commute to Logan, Oh. As you can see their eyes are open and they are starting to take their first wobbly steps. They will be 3 weeks old Friday. Next week they will start getting their first taste of mashed food. We have most recently learned Bella is a bit of a Houdini and has escaped her enclosure. We are working with the foster on the best way to give her a break from the puppies, but keeping her safe. She will need her own space away from any other family pets you have. Other pets in your home need to be vaccinated, spay/neuter, and on prevention for fleas/ticks/heartworm. We know this is a big tall order. We understand everyone can’t help but everyone can share, so please, please share! ... See MoreSee Less

Today, PAWS dog Sonny visited Majestic Healthcare in New Lexington. He was there to pick up their donation for Spring for PAWS. While there, he visited with some of their residents and staff. If you have a donation you’d like Sonny to pick up from your office or place of business he’d be happy to oblige. He knows how important these donations are to this event. Monies raised at Spring for PAWS will allow him to complete his vaccinations and be neutered. Donations for our silent and live auction are needed. Monetary donations are welcome too. Message us to schedule Sonny to pick up your donation. ** Sonny is not available, he is already in a foster to adopt home. ... See MoreSee Less
