We are super happy to be part of the reason the these wonderful ladies have a reason to smile today. The New Lexington area has been hit really hard with flooding and they’ve had more than their fair share of devastation. This kitten just hit the jackpot of families and we hope she brings some joy and smiles back into their lives. Welcome to the PAWS family Cheryl and Dana! ...

These dogs were rescued on Thursday when floodwaters surrounded their dog boxes. 3 of these dogs still need a foster or foster to adopt homes. They are all young adults. They have been outside so we are guessing they will need some work on housebreaking and crate training. . They also are not familiar with leash walking. All dogs are very thin and need to gain some weight. We will list a bit of information below the picture of each dog. Foster or adoptive homes must be in Central or SE Ohio to bring to one of our partner clinics in Logan or Somerset, Oh. Other dogs in your home must be current on vaccinations, spay/neuter and on prevention. Please apply using the link in the comments below. ...

Our girl Sage went from floods to a fairy tale ending. Late Tuesday night we received a message asking if we did out-of-state adoptions. Absolutely, let me see how quickly we can get Sage spayed. So grateful for our friends at Mastersons, who was able to squeeze Sage in the very next day. On Thursday morning she left for her new home in Traverse City, Michigan with her new family. It was 9 hours one way!! When we ask you to share our posts, this is exactly what happens when you do. We are a little sad that she’s no longer a Buckeye, but her family is so fabulous, we can overlook the part where they are from TTUN. ...
