Pupdate! Mellie is at about 75%. Her leg is not bowing like in the picture to the left but it is still weaker and it occasionally gives out on her. Vitamins and regular exercise to strengthen the ligaments have definitely helped. Thank you to Dr. Hern and Dr. Sawchuck at Mastersons’s for making sure we have her on the right track for a complete healing. We are not yet accepting applications for Mellie.
Our page is being hit by a ridiculous number of scammers. They are tagging followers and including a link for PAWS apparel. Please know this is not our organization nor our apparel.

Thanksgiving has come and gone and Minnie is still with us. She’s not feeling very thankful. This little girl wants nothing more than to be a lap dog. She would do best in a calm, quiet home. She is being fostered alone so it is not known how she is with cats or dogs. Minnie would do best in a home with children over 12. She’s timid, and shy at first meeting, but does warm up. She is a runner so a committed leash walker or a fenced yard is needed. She uses p*e pads and goes outside to potty. To adopt please apply at perryanimalwelfaresociety. Other pets that reside in your home must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. We can’t let another holiday go by without a home for Minnie. If you see this, please share it!
The 15 week old Labrador puppy was picked up on Tuesday and placed in a foster home. This morning she was examined by our veterinary clinic presenting with a bowed front leg that was weak and unstable. It is believed she is suffering from a nutritional deficiency and with supplemental puppy vitamins it should help. At this time, until we are certain of the root cause we will put a hold on accepting applications. Until then, Mellie, as she has been named is living her best life. ♥️ 🐾♥️🐾
Two year old Alistair has been dealt a crappy hand in his short life. He’s already been in two homes (that we know of) and now the search is on for his third. This handsome boy is a short-haired border collie. Border collies are said to be one of the most intelligent and highly trainable breeds. However, they are also very high energy, and if you do nothing with this intelligent bundle of energy, nobody in the house will be happy, such has been Alistair’s life. He was not housebroken when he came to his current home two days ago, but he’s catching on quickly and is doing his business when taken outside. He’s good with other dogs and cats. He’s a little shy, but very sweet. Alistair is a runner and cannot be trusted off leash. We are looking for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio because he needs all his vetting . To apply go to perryanimalwelfaresociety.com. Other pets in your home must be current on vaccinations, spay/neutered, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Please share for Alistair!
Paws and give thanks for all the blessings in your life. Happy Thanksgiving!
Come get your photo with Santa, two legs or four are welcome! Dec 2nd!!
Pancreatitis in Dogs: A Holiday Caution
Are you in the habit of treating your beloved furry companion to meat or human food? With the upcoming holidays, it's essential to be mindful, as this festive season often sees a rise in cases of acute pancreatitis in dogs.
What's the connection between holidays and pancreatitis?
High-Fat Meals: A sudden intake of a high-fat meal is a classic trigger for canine pancreatitis.
Enzyme Stimulation: The abrupt stimulation to release enzymes for fat digestion appears to play a role.
Obesity Risk: Obesity is identified as a risk factor due to the associated altered fat metabolism.
Breed Predisposition: Miniature Schnauzers are particularly prone to pancreatitis due to their commonly altered fat metabolism.
Recognizing the signs of pancreatitis is crucial; these may include loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, a tender abdomen, and fever, either individually or in combination. Pancreatitis can manifest suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, or as a persistent, fluctuating condition.
If you observe any of these symptoms, we strongly advise seeking prompt veterinary attention. Additionally, it's vital to refrain from offering fatty meat or human food to your furry friend. Protect their well-being by making mindful choices in their diet. Your vigilance can make a significant difference in their health, especially during the holiday season.
This absolute cutie is looking for a foster to adopt home in Central or SE Ohio so she can complete her vetting at our clinic in Somerset, Oh. She is 14 weeks old (15 weeks on Tuesday). She is a full blooded Labrador Retriever. She is not housebroken. She is your typical energetic playful pup who is loving and wants attention. We are also taking suggestions for names. Apply at perryanimalwelfaresociety.com. Other pets in your MUST be spay/neutered, current on vaccines, and on flea/tick prevention. Share!!!!
Caturday. Do you see a pattern here? Black cats like black dogs are the last to be adopted. All of these cats are completely vetted and ready for a home of their own. Some are adults others are older kittens. Adoption fee is only $25. Please, please, share this post. Several of these cats have been with us way longer than they should. All are litter trained, being fostered with other cats and dogs.
There’s nothing we love better than repeat adopters, this one is now a threepeat! Even better than adopting previously, they are well experienced in high energy dogs and invest in their dogs with training and excellent veterinary care. This is one of our favorite adoption stories and Hattie is now homeless to home. In the world of rescue, Hattie has hit the jackpot. Happy ever after to you!
Little Minnie is completely vetted and ready for a family of her very own. This young adult chihuahua was found as a stray and went unclaimed. She is 100% a lap dog and happy to snuggle with you while you spend an evening watching something on TV. Minnie is a runner and will need a fenced yard or a commitment to leash walking. She is p*e pad trained but is learning to go outside to potty as well. Minnie is being fostered by herself so it’s unknown how she is with other cats/dogs. We are recommending her for a home with older children 12 and up. She is timid and standoffish initially but warms up quickly. To apply go to perryanimalwelfaresociety.com. All pets in your home must be spay/neutered, current on vaccines with a history of regular wellness exams that include flea/tick prevention. Please share for Minnie, she really wants her very own human for Thanksgiving.
It’s been since the end of April and we’ve not been able to find the perfect home for Lana. She is a senior dog that is starting to feel her age in all her doggie joints. She’s been through a lot and at this point in her life we feel it’s her best interest for her to stay with her Stanton Villa family as a hospice dog. There’s a lot of people in that building that love her and all involved can’t think of anything better for Lana than to spend her last days surrounded by people who love her. The down side to this is that it puts a very good foster home out of commission for an extended period of time. If you’ve ever considered fostering, now is the time, the need is great. Visit perryanimalwelfaresociety.com to submit a foster agreement. Thank you to Stanton Villa for being such a valuable community partner.
Last week we shared that none of these dogs and cats had any applications. This week, we received a few applications but none of them qualified as adopters. We realize that not everyone believes regular veterinary care is important and that’s your right as a pet owner. It’s also our right as an animal welfare organization to disqualify you as an adopter because of it. We spend hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars to get the dogs in our care healthy. We are not going to turn them over to someone who does not hold the same value on veterinary care. We know of no reputable rescue anywhere that would adopt a dog to someone who hasn’t spayed/neutered their dog or kept them current on vaccinations. Some require much more than that! None of these animals are at risk for euthanasia, we just can’t take in any more until we adopt out what we have. We will not compromise on our requirements because we’ve had a dog for awhile. If you don’t agree, that’s fine. Heaven knows people are giving away their dogs every day, there’s plenty of places to “save” a dog. Please keep scrolling if regular veterinary care is not important to you because it’s the most important thing to us.
This is the state of rescue right now……grim. Two cats whose owner will be homeless at the end of the month, not one application. Hattie, a beautiful lab/GSD pup, not one application. Kit, a special needs girl who needs a calm and caring home, not one application. Sully a baby kitten, not one application. Minnie, small breed dog, not one application. Jimmy, Sebastian, Mademoiselle, Cynthia, Princess, Thelma and Louise and Lana. Not one application for any of them. Yet every day we get requests to take in more. There’s literally nowhere for them to go. Please don’t think it’s just as simple as “finding a new home” for your dog or cat. There’s no magical homes or farms for these animals. Something has got to give!
Calling all little dog lovers. This is Minnie. This tiny might and is a young adult chihuahua. She will be spayed on Monday which will complete her vetting. She was picked up as a stray by the Perry County dog warden and went unclaimed. While at the shelter she liked to sit with Warden Kelly while she did her paperwork. Minnie is p*e pad trained and is working on going outside to potty with her foster. This girl is a flight risk so she will need a fenced in yard or a committed leash walker. She is timid initially but warms up quickly. It is unknown how she is with other dogs/cats as she is an only dog in her foster home. She would do best with children over the age of 12. To apply go to perryanimalwelfaresociety.com. If you have other pets, they must be spayed/neutered and current on vaccines. Please share for Minnie!
‼️ CODE RED ‼️ URGENT‼️
This is definitely not a trick, and certainly no treat. Ironic, that their names are Hocus and Pocus and we have to post this on Halloween. These bonded siblings were adopted from us two years ago. Unfortunately, their owner is going to lose his home and will be homeless at the end of the month. We are in desperate need of a foster or adopter for this brother/sister duo. They have never been outside, are litter trained and love their treats. Hocus is the playful one, Pocus is the lover. To help this perfect Halloween pair go to perryanimalwelfaresociety.com
In addition, if you could provide us with available housing in the area we could pass on to this gentleman it would be greatly appreciated. Please send us a private message with details.
‼️Please share, if this post was for a pair of dogs, it would go viral, these cats need and deserve the same help‼️
PAWS, in conjunction with our friends at the Perry County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center of Ohio will be providing straw for dogs in need. If you need straw, please stop by the dog shelter to pick up. Temperatures are dropping a fur coat is not sufficient to keep your dog warm.
Do you dress your dogs up for Halloween? Share your photos below!
Lyme disease is so prevalent we are making the Lyme vaccine part of the core vaccinations that we give dogs that come into PAWS. Please discuss this vaccine with your veterinarian for your own dog and make sure you are getting your dog tested yearly for tick born diseases.
It is with great sadness we report that this morning Casper went over the rainbow bridge. Overnight his condition worsened. A repeat of his bloodwork showed a significant decline and indicated it was time. We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Mastersons Veterinary Clinic that was involved in his care. He was not just a rescue dog, he belonged to each of them for the five days he was there. His final days were filled with love, care and compassion. Fly high sweet boy. 🐾💔
Oh beloved shop cat Susie escaped please be on the look out for her. So we can bring her home!
UPDATE! Thanks to our incredible dog warden, Minnie has been found and is safe!!
This is Minnie, she escaped her fosters yard tonight, Pleasant St., New Lexington. Call 740 605-9002 with any sightings or if you find her. Please share!!
Please help! This is Kit. We need everyone’s help to find her permanent home. We’ve been fostering her for over two months. My last post on her generated no interest. If you could spend a day with her and give her time to get to know you, you’d see what we see.
Kit loves other dogs, is housebroken and crate trained has a playful side but will relax and lay low with our pups. She definitely comprehends what “no” means. You just have to say it w/some authority and be consistent. She loves a car ride, a walk and being outside. We believe she’d do best in a home with another dog. You can see this by the photo of her snuggled up to our Coco.
Kit is a Cane Corso mix. She’s isn’t large like a full blooded Cane would be. She’s currently undergoing a slow kill treatment for Heartworm and doing well. Based on information we have received, we believe Kit originated from a puppy mill and was not properly socialized. She is timid and hesitant initially upon meeting strangers. She will need an understanding and patient adopter while she transitions into your family. Preference is for a family that works from home or is retired so that she can have the extra time needed with people to continue her socialization.
We need a foster to adopt home in Central/SE Ohio.
Please apply at perryanimalwelfaresociety.com. Meet and greets will be scheduled after applications are received and approved. If you have other pets in your home, they must be spay/neutered and current on vaccines with a history of regular veterinary care. Can you please help us find her p*eps, her tribe, her posse? SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!
Remember Lemon and Brewer, our Parvo pups? They aren’t just surviving, they are thriving. As soon as their vetting is completed, they will be adopted by their fosters. These are the updates that make this crazy thing called rescue all worthwhile. ❤️🐾❤️

This black beauty is 9 month old Hattie. She is a Lab/Shepherd mix. This girl just ran her first 5k with her foster mom and furry sibling brother and did great. Hattie is an energetic girl who would be happy to help you train for your first couch to 5k race. While she needs an adequate outlet for her energy, she’s quite the snuggle bug in the evenings. Hattie is housebroken and crate trained. Pulls a bit on the leash but responds well to corrections. She is great with other dogs but no cats. She doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t but she never misses an opportunity to swipe a stray sock. Hattie initially showed some resource guarding with people and food when she arrived. Fosters are currently feeding her by hand with zero issues. We are thinking it might’ve been the uncertainty of the transition into the foster home as it was not an issue in her home previously. Hattie has lived with children and did fine. If you are interested in adopting go to perryanimalwelfaresociety.com. Adoption fee is $250. Other pets in the home must be spay/neutered and current vaccines. Facebook friends, you know what to do next, SHARE!!!

Coco Update I’m happy to report our girl is making progress. As a reminder, Coco came to us early in 2020. She is a 3-year old Chocolate Lab, retired breeding dog that was surrendered to us by her owner. She was not properly socialized and has been diagnosed with Global Fear. Since my last update, Coco has been taken off of the Clonazepam (a sedative) which was prescribed initially to address her anxiety and nervousness. At her September visit to OSU Veterinary Clinic, the Vet felt she’d made enough progress to attempt to stop this medication. We slowly weaned her off and her last dose was September 28. Her other medication (the vet calls it “the bravery drug”) was increased. Since that time Coco has continued to show positive progress. She is more alert, responsive, makes eye contact more and appears more engaged with what’s taking place around her. We were gone for a week recently and during this time family friends tended to our dogs. Coco did well. She continued to eat, go outside and didn’t regress while we were gone. She warmed up to us right away when we returned. Earlier this week there was a pretty significant short thunderstorm with hard rain. The last time this occurred she was very nervous/anxious and kept to herself for a couple days. This time, she rested quietly through the storm and there were no lingering after effects. Since going off the sedative, she has shown absolutely no aggression. (not that she ever did but taking her off the sedative could have caused a change in behavior). She still interacts well with other dogs, walks beautifully, travels well in a car and remains a calm, laid back girl. The degree of timid behavior; while improved, is still something she displays at times. Coco is SO easy to love and we find ourselves excited with each step of progress she makes. Her quality of life continues to improve with love & support. An owner who is retired, someone that works from home or works part time would likely be the best sce
Rosie was returned to us when her adoptive family realized she wasn’t a good fit for them. Many thanks to our foster family and Brinks K9 Training for their help in making sure Rosie was ready for a new home. Some of you may recognize former PAWS dog Dory in this video. Dory has welcomed Rosie to her family and and it’s been a instantaneous bond between these furry sisters and their new mom. Happy Tails Rosie!!
Still lots more items to come but a tiny sneak peek of Fall for PAWS! You don’t want to miss this!! Saturday, Oct 12th!!
Daisy Mae has spent her life outside. She had no training and was an accomplished door dasher who had no leash manners. Look what one afternoon with Dave Brink of Brink’s K9 Training did!!! If your dog needs a little help, you can find Brink’s K9 Training on Facebook. Daisy will make a great addition to your family.
