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.

Stormie had her first vet appointment and received a clean bill of health! This brindle babe lost her home as a result of the catastrophic flooding that happened in Perry County last month. Stormie is doing well with the dog in her foster home. She’s an energetic pup who would love an active family or a fenced yard to hearts desire. Stormie is learning her house manners and is starting to get the hang of potty and crate training. Stormie went on a road trip this weekend with her foster. She traveled beautifully and was a great house guest. She enjoyed meeting lots of new people. This sweet girl is approximately 4 months old. Breed is unknown other than mixed.If you can provide this girl with a lifetime of love please apply using the link in the comments below. If you have other pets they must be current on vaccines, spay/neutered, and on regular prevention for fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease. Sunday shares for Stormie ...

Ginny is a sweet, loving girl who was rescued from floodwaters and is now ready to discover all the good things life has to offer.Ginny is great with other dogs, kids, keeps a clean crate, loves car rides, affectionate and loves being around her people. She does have a strong interest in cats, so a cat-free home would be best.Ginny does well on a leash, but she will not potty while on one. A fenced-in yard is not required, but a committed leash walker is to help her learn where to go. Ginny should be considered a flight risk, so she will need someone dedicated to keeping her safely leashed and secure at all times while she continues learning and adjusting.Could you be the person to show Ginny what a happy, spoiled dog life looks like? Foster-to-adopt homes must be located in Central or Southeast Ohio so Ginny can be brought to one of our partner clinics in Logan or Somerset, Ohio. Any other dogs in the home must be current on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, and kept on preventatives.Please apply using the link in the comments below.Please share to help Ginny find her furever home. ...

These are the hardest of posts. The ones where an animal has clearly been let down by a human. Walt is part of a humane case. He has suffered significant injuries and is heartworm positive. Because this is an ongoing investigation, we can’t share more information at this time. Walt needs a place to heal. Preferably a home without another dog, not because he’s not dog friendly, but because he’s going to need to be kept quiet as he recovers from his injuries and during his heartworm treatment. Walt is the sweetest of boys despite all he’s been through. We need a foster or foster to adopt home that can continue to bring Walt to one of our two clinics in Logan or Somerset, Oh so he can continue his care. To apply click the link in the comments below.Walt has already been let down so many times, please share so we can find him a warm, safe place to recover. ...
