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.

We thought Angus had an adopter lined up, but they have since changed their mind. That’s ok, we want adopters to be thoughtful and cognizant of the time and commitment a puppy takes. It’s not for the weak.However, if you are in the market for a puppy, this would be the one you want. A puppy fostered by dog trainer! Angus is an 11 week old boxer mix. This boy has already learned all the skills to test for the STAR puppy test (sit, down, come, let’s go, and can sit and stay in place while owner walks away). He does excellent in his crate and will go to the door to signal his need to go out. He’s great with other dogs, cat and chickens. He especially loves kids. Angus already weighs 21 pounds, he will be a big boy once fully grown.The Brinks have fostered lots of dogs for PAWS. They have mentioned they wished they were in the market for another dog so they could keep him if that tells you how special this boy is. We need a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio that can continue his vet care at one of our two clinics in Logan or Somerset, Ohio. Meet and greets are scheduled once applications are received and approved. To apply for Angus click the link in the comments below. If you have a dog they must be current on vaccines, spay/neutered, and on regular preventives for flea/ticks and heartworm disease. Regular wellness visits are an absolute must to be eligible to adopt. Please share to help us find the perfect home for Angus! ... See MoreSee Less

To finish out the bad news that hit us on May 12, we received word that Sadie’s pain was no longer manageable. Just 6 weeks ago we made some changes and increased her meds but it was no longer keeping her comfortable. We knew our time with her would be short as when she and her mom arrived to PAWS, neither were in good shape. They were placed in hospice care with our wonderful friends at Stanton Villa. It was time to let her go and let her run pain free. Her time with us may have been short, but she made a big impact on those that knew her best. Thank you to all the staff and clients at Stanton Villa that loved her like their own. They are changing lives there, two legged and four. Godspeed Sadie 🐾 ... See MoreSee Less
