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.

Here we are, Valentines Eve, and these sweethearts have nobody to share the special day. People clamor for puppies, yet these cuties have received very little interest. We’ve heard nothing but good things about them from their fosters.These Valentines are too young to have all their vet care completed so we are looking for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio so they can finish needed vaccines and spay/neuter at one of our clinics in Logan or Somerset, Oh.To be qualify as an adopter other dogs in your home need to be current on vaccinations, on regular prevention for fleas ticks, and Heartworms, and spayed and neutered. This is non-negotiable.. these puppies would not have been in this situation if they had a responsible pet owner. The link to apply is in the comments below….please share!!! ... See MoreSee Less

UPDATE! Crate found!!Bella is very happy not to be outside and to have access to warm fluffy blankets and love from humans. She’s a bit of a Houdini though, and has managed to escape her crate. We don’t want her getting hurt. Does anyone have a heavy duty, escape proof crate they can loan or we can purchase while Bella is in our care before we buy new. Please message us if you can help!

UPDATE! Facebook you never disappoint. Thank you for the shares and for rallying for this girl. We are in the process of getting her transferred into a foster home tonight. We will update once she’s had a chance to settle in. ‼️URGENT‼️Animal welfare is a crisis, an urgent, awful crisis, but that’s a story for another day.This is Bella. We are told she is 3-4 years old and a Boxer mix. She is very pregnant. She has milk already, we are estimating the birth of puppies any day. They will not survive if we don’t intervene as mom is chained outside to a box. The straw and blanket covering the box was after our dog warden visited and provided the supplies. Our shelter is FULL. No room to put one more dog, and especially one ready to give birth. We need someone to step up in a big way. We are asking on the behalf of Bella to please, please, consider giving her a warm safe place to give birth. Because she’s never had veterinary care it is imperative your dogs are protected with current vaccines, regular preventatives for flea, tick, and heartworm disease. We are asking if you can’t help, to please share. Bella is counting on us. The link to foster is in the comments below. Please, please, please spay and neuter, we’ve got to stop the madness. ...

Promote Spay & Neuter of Animals

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.

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.
