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.

Yesterday, we shared the beginning of a heartbreaking humane case, and today, we’re sharing another part of this devastating situation.Five cats are now in our care after living in horrible conditions. These animals have gone without the care they deserve, and we’re working to give them a chance at a much better life.We are a foster-based rescue, and cases like this stretch our already limited resources. We cannot do this alone, and right now, these five cats need people willing to open their homes and help them start over. We are urgently looking for foster or foster-to-adopt homes in Central and Southeast Ohio. If you can take in one cat or even a couple, you could make a tremendous difference!Please keep in mind that these cats have not received veterinary care, so they must be kept completely separate from other cats in the home until they can be examined by a veterinarian. A separate room away from resident cats will be necessary for their safety and the safety of your own pets.If you’re able to help, please apply using the link in the comments below. And even if you can’t foster, please share this post. These cats deserve so much better than the life they’ve known. Help us give them the fresh start they deserve. ...

This is the first of many posts we will be making in the coming days. It’s long and horrid and worse yet it comes from a repeat offender. Over the course of the past five years, nearly 100 animals have been seized from this person. These are the kind of cases that can break a small rescue like us. Cats, birds, frogs, hamsters, guppies and these 3 Frenchies which were intended to be an income source by breeding them. Fiona, Josie and Mack. French bulldogs. They have received an initial vet check and first vaccines. We are looking for foster or foster to adopt homes in Central and Southeast Ohio so they can complete their veterinary care. We aren’t just looking for any home, we are looking for the very best home. These three have already had a rough way to go. We are assuming they are good with other dogs and cats. We have no idea whether they are housebroken, but given the situation that they were living in, it is highly doubtful. We will be looking for a home with breed experience. Additionally, these dogs typically come with many health issues. An excellent vet reference and the ability to financially cover the health issues that come with this breed is a must. Other dogs in your home must be current on vaccines, on regular prevention, and spay/neutered. If you can give one of these beauties a new lease on life, apply using the link in the comments below. Please, please share so we can find the very best home for these dogs. Additionally, if you would like to donate towards the care of the 45 animals removed from this home you can use the link to our website for our donate button or you can donate via Facebook. ...

We are stunned that this blue-eyed little boy has as received no interest. Tom is incredibly adorable and cuddly. Litter trained, been exposed to dogs and other cats and is negative for all the feline diseases. He was left by a dumpster when he was far too young to fend for himself. In fact, his brother didn’t make it. Please someone, scoop up this furry little guy and make him your new best friend! He needs a foster to adopt home in Central or Southeast Ohio so he can complete his veterinary care at one of our partner clinics in Logan or Somerset. If you’d like to add Tom to your life, please click the link in the comments below. Above all, please share! ...
