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.

Meet Lilly. She is 2.5 years old. Unfortunately her owners living situation has changed. They are living in a home where the other dog does not like Lilly and she is regularly being attacked. Lilly is the goodest girl. She loves other dogs and cats. She is housebroken and loves car rides. She does not deserve the life she is currently living. She is spayed and has an appointment for a check up and to get her vaccines updated. If you can give Lilly a peaceful life where she doesn’t have to fear for her safety please apply using the link in the comments below. Other pets in your home must be spay/neutered, current on vaccinations and on regular prevention for fleas/ticks and heartworm.Please share, this girl needs a place to land sooner rather than later. ...

Would you take a look at these love muffins?!?!?!? They are even more scrumptious in person. Bella and her babies came to see Dr. Hern and staff today at Logan Animal Clinic for their first vaccines. Mama Bella has done her job, these babies are CHUNKY. They all weigh in the 10 pound range and only 7 weeks old. They are healthy babies!A week from tomorrow these pups will be ready to leave mom and begin a new life with families of their own. We are looking for foster to adopt homes in Central or SE Ohio that can finish their vet care at one of our two clinics in Logan or Somerset, Ohio. If you have other pets in your home they MUST be current on vaccines, be spay/neutered and on regular prevention for fleas/ticks/heartworm disease. A regular history of wellness exams is required.We are happy to say we have confirmed adopters for Mama Bella, Brodie and Nessie. The puppies below are still available. If you are interested please submit an adoption application using the link in the comments below. Please share, these are a lot of puppies to help find homes! ... See MoreSee Less

A good portion of the dogs we take in test positive for Lyme disease. Below is just a sample of the dogs we’ve treated this year. Poor Gary, he’s also heartworm positive. Ginger and Maple both had Lyme while pregnant. This is the start of flea, tick and mosquito season. What most people don’t know is that the cold weather does not kill ticks. When it gets below freezing they go dormant. A mild winter day and these nasty things are up and moving and looking for their next dinner. It is important to use preventatives year round. It’s considered part of the basic care of your cat/dog and is absolutely a requirement if you want to adopt from us. Lyme disease has become so prevalent that the Lyme vaccine is something we not only recommend, but has become a core vaccine for the animals in our care. Left untreated, Lyme can cause kidney failure. The first symptom is often lameness/limping. Please see your veterinary provider to get the best prevention for your lifestyle and pet.*These dogs have all been adopted but Gary ... See MoreSee Less
