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.

Pets in Need

Our friends at Mastersons reached out for our help. This adorable little guy is an AKC registered poodle. He is about 17 pounds. Unfortunately he’s been an Amish breeding dog a good part of his life. As a result, he’s had zero veterinary care. He’s got a mouthful of teeth that need to be removed and vision loss in one eye due to cataracts. He’s only 4. He needs neutered, vaccinations and HW/Lyme tested. We don’t know a lot about him other than he was good natured and sweet at his vet appointment today, and was friendly with the other dogs what were with him. He is a mystery bag that’s cute as a bug. He needs a foster to adopt home or foster home IMMEDIATELY so he can get the help he needs. It must be understood that this boy may have limited vision or eventually could lose his sight. We will likely be seeking an ophthalmology consultation but fear the news may not be positive. To apply click the link in the comments below. We are looking for a home within a 1 hour travel radius to our clinics in Somerset or Logan, Ohio so he can get started on the necessary vet care. Other pets in your home MUST be vaccinated, spay/neutered and on preventatives with a history of regular wellness exams.Additionally, this little love bug needs a name. Please share to help him find placement and put your name suggestions in the comments! #share #heneedsaname#adoptdontshop ... See MoreSee Less

Bailey and Nova are a pair of seniors but they are healthy girls with a lot of life to live and plenty of love to give. They are in a situation that is not of their own doing but have been placed with an elderly family member that really isn’t capable of caring for them in the way they need. They are Housebroken and can be uncrated in the home with no problems. They are good with kids and have lived with cats. Nova is fine with other dogs. Bailey can be selective but has never been aggressive. They can be trusted in the yard unleaded and have great re-call. If you are looking for low maintenance, easy-peasy dogs, these girls are it.These girls have had their veterinary care updated and are ready to go. They don’t have to go together but we’d sure love it if the could. To apply, click the link in the comments below. We are looking for families that value regular veterinary care and provide the very basics with current vaccines, spay/neuter, and prevention. Please share for these girls! ... See MoreSee Less
