– PAWS –
Perry Animal Welfare Society

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.

Services

What We Do

Rescue Animals in Need of Care and a home

We help dogs and cats in Perry County, OH, that need to find loving homes.

Advocate Responsible Pet Ownership

Find out what it takes to be the best pet parent(s). Understand finances, vet care and laws.

Promote Spay & Neuter of Animals

Please don’t contribute to the over-population problems that exist today.

Find Pets A Loving Home

It’s more than providing food, water and shelter. It’s about LOVE.

Foster a Dog or Cat

Temporarily caring for an animal before it finds its forever home can be one of the most rewarding experiences. You will care for the animal and provide insight into its personality while it’s waiting on adoption.

Apply to be a Temporary Home

Sponsor an Animal's Adoption Fee

When you donate $250 to PAWS, you’re giving a dog or cat a new leash on life. You’re enabling our volunteers to intake pets in need, provide vet care, and find them a loving home — at no cost to the approved adopter.

Adopt a Dog or Cat

It melts our hearts to be able to see animals adopted and spoiled beyond belief by their new parent(s). If you have the space in your heart, your finances and your home — we welcome your application.
