“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”

🌴 Meet STITCH🌴

🐚Stitch is an adorable and handsome 9 month old German Shepherd mix puppy. He and his sister were dumped out in the country. We couldn’t leave them behind so they were trapped and brought into rescue.
🐚Stitch knows no stranger. He is so friendly and everyone is his friend. He greets people with a wigglebut and seeks attention/affection. He loves his chest being scratched!
🐚Stitch loves other dogs and enjoys playing with them, big or small. We see no reason why he would have any issues with cats. He is good with kids and all people as long as they go slow until he gets to know them. Stitch is walking well on a leash although sometimes, he likes to plop down to take a break. He also loves water and enjoys laying in kiddie pools to cool off!
🐚 Stitch is crate trained and mostly potty trained. He is still a puppy so taking him out on a consistent schedule is key.
🐚 He has been neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, fully vaccinated for rabies, distemper/parvo/lepto and bordatella, wormed and started on heartworm prevention.

If you are interested in being Stitch’s “Ohana”, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application for this sweet goofy boy!
When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.
Thank you for considering adopting!

IT'S OCTOBER 6th..... 🎃🐈‍⬛👻

That means 3 weeks from tonight, (October 27th at 6:57pm) is the annual Callithumpian parade in downtown Decatur!

🎃🐈‍⬛👻 We will, once again, have our Hot Chocolate and Hot Cider booth in the Food Alley on Madison Street before and during the parade. We hope you'll stop by for a cozy hot drink!

🎃🐈‍⬛👻 We are also walking in the parade.
We are asking our past adopters, former fosters, and volunteers to bring your fur babies and walk with us!
(We will have a pick up truck leading our group and will have room, should you want or need to ride instead of walk).
Please pm us here if you would like to join us! We will give you all the needed info...time to arrive, staging area, etc.
Come walk with us!
We hope to hear from you soon!

What a beautiful day to announce our latest adoption!

ARCHIE, now MAIZE (Michigan fans...iykyk!) is with his new mama and dad and is settling in nicely! He came in to rescue a bit anxious, but has come so far in his foster home and now, in just the past week, in his new home!

It's always a joy when we have repeat adopters! We knew right away where this boy needed to be!

We're so excited for this little guy to have landed in a home with 2 of the sweetest people we've had the pleasure of meeting! We have no doubt they will love him, spoil him (he's got "a few" toys...lol...enough to tucker him out 🤣) and have the patience with him to bring him out of his shell more and more each day!!

We look forward to holidays, and getting pictures of him in his holiday attire!

Congratulations Maize and enjoy your new family!
We love you sweet boy!

🍁BAILEY🍁
🍂Bailey is a 2 year old, full blooded Dalmatian that weighs just over 40 pounds. While shy with new people at first, she is the sweetest girl once she warms up.
🍂Bailey is good with dogs, cats and kids. She is crate trained, potty trained, walks well on leash and is also a good car rider. Bailey is a great cuddler and wants to be by your side no matter what you are doing. She is a counter top surfer and will steal food if you turn your back for even a few seconds.
🍂Bailey is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative and on heartworm prevention. She came in with a severe double ear infection and is healing nicely but she does have a follow up appointment soon to verify that all the yeast and bacteria is gone.

If you are interested in adopting Bailey please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.
When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.

Thank you for considering adopting!

🐣NUGGET🐣
🐥This little Nugget is a 5 month old Chihuahua mix. He currently weighs 6.5 pounds. He can be a spicy nugget when he’s amped up and ready to play but for the most part he’s a sweet cuddly guy.
🐥Nugget is great with dogs, cats and kids. He is mostly potty trained and crate trained. While he’s still getting used to wearing a collar; he does walk well on a harness and leash and rides great in the car.
🐥Nugget has started his vetting but will still need a booster vaccine in a few weeks and will need to be neutered once he reaches an appropriate age. Until then, he is available for foster to adopt.

If you are interested in fostering to adopt Nugget please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.
When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.

Meet our 2 newest rescues...

These kittens were found in front of Decatur Walmart and were hiding underneath the pumpkin and mum's pallets.

On Monday night I spotted the yellow kitten almost get hit but luckily the tire just missed him or her as the lady was backing out and kitten ran up to the store under the pallets.

Then last night, when Cathy was there, another was spotted and ran under the same pallets. Siblings for sure.

After a couple of hours each night of moving things, strategizing, and getting much needed help from Steve, a few customers and Walmart staff, both were caught/trapped and are currently safe. You all rock!

Having said that...
We are overwhelmed! We need help and more fosters.

Is anyone willing to help these two babies, who are about 6 weeks old and a little feisty at the moment, and socialize them and love them? We can help with food and their vetting when old enough. They are young enough and I'm sure they will come around fairly quickly. I've already seen progress just overnight.

There may be more out there... We're not sure if someone dumped a litter out there or if there's a mama somewhere that had a litter around the store.

PM us if you can help, as our hands are so full right now. Thank you and God bless.
