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.

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 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! ...

Ok, we know this little guy is going to break the internet. We aren’t looking for just any home, we are looking for the perfect home. 2 year old Dakota lost his owner when she had to enter a nursing home. This has been very difficult for him. We have learned that Dakota needs a home most like the one he came from. He has an incredible foster family who intended to adopt him, but they’ve come to realize he needs more than what they can give him. So what does Dakota need?✅ an owner than is retired or works from home✅ to be an only dog✅ fenced yard or committed leash walker, this boy can absolutely not be trusted off leash✅ calm, quiet household that has time to devote to finishing his training✅ Female as his primary caretaker, it takes awhile to warm up to men✅ if you previously owned pets proof of responsible pet ownership and regular wellness exams.Dakota is crate trained, loves a ball, is about 80% housebroken. He was recently neutered and will occasionally mark his territory. His world has been rocked. He is a sweet, lovable guy, he just needs some time to trust and feel safe with you. We will accept applications until we find someone who checks all the boxes. To apply, click the link in the comments below. ...

If you know where this pig belongs please send us a private message . Please share so we can get this piggy home. ...
