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’ve had multiple people ask about Rudy, so we thought it was time for a little update from his people.Rudy has decided that he likes his cat siblings. Their opinion on Rudy can differ at times although they don’t back down from him when he tries to play a bit rough. He has a silly side! Obviously loves time on the couch with his favorite blanket and clearly should have a future as a “squeaker remover” from stuffees! He is the best ever at neighborhood watch! What’s new in his life? He’s in Canine Good Citizen classes with Brinks K-9 Training. He’s liking the car a bit more every trip out. He loves Lowe’s and works really hard on his manners while he is there. Discovered Guinea Pigs at We Love Pets! 😳. He met some of his Masterson’s Fan Club while out and about in Rural King. Upcoming for Rudy? He starts doggy day care at the Ruff Ranch on Tuesday and is looking forward to his first trip to the beach in March! We are learning more every day about Rudy’s amazing and unique skills! He’s our first hound and watching him track in the snow has been fun. No dog snuggles better than him. He is so loved and we are honored that we were chosen to be his people!We love happy endings ♥️🐾♥️ ... See MoreSee Less

We hear there’s a football game tonight, but here at PAWS, we are ready for the Puppy Bowl. We have three, 1st round draft picks! Do you have room on your team for one of these All-Stars? They are very coachable, team players. Let us be clear, they are not bench warmers, they will take your team to new heights!We are looking for teams (homes) in Central or SE Ohio as foster to adopt. They 10 weeks old and have not completed their vetting so you must be willing to take them to one of our two clinics in Logan or Somerset, OH. Once spayed/neutered, the adoption is finalized and you can take to the veterinary clinic of your choice.If you have other furry friends in your home they must be current on vaccines, spay/neutered and on regular prevention for fleas/ticks/heartworm disease.
