My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I was very hungry, so I kept showing up to eat dry food on the deck of a townhome in NE Rochester, I dug right in! But when I saw a woman watching me from the window, I would run away! Sometimes she would even be on the deck filling the bowl, and I would wait in the distance until she went inside before I approached. One day there was no food in the bowl, but there was some smelly fishy stuff in a box. I crept inside. Oh, NO! the box slammed shut! I was trapped! But I was so hungry that I ate all the fish anyway! It was good! Then two women put me in a car and brought me here to the shelter! Four ladies sat around and talked about me and got me out of the trap. They checked me for a microchip. No chip. I was very scared, but one of the women held me close, and I felt safe. I’m a sweet, brown tabby young adult female. They named me Sugar because I am so sweet. Once I feel comfortable around someone, I like being petted. If you’re quiet and gentle, I do enjoy being held. I played a little, too, after I’d been in the shelter for a few hours. Now that I’m safe indoors with a cozy place to sleep, regular meals and fresh water, I feel more comfortable than I have in quite a while. If you’re a patient person who is willing to let me settle in to a new living situation, I’d like to be your Sugar girl.

Sugar can be viewed at Chuck & Don`s Pet Food & Supplies in Barlow Plaza, Rochester.

Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Paws and Claws Humane Society (PCHS) is a non-profit, mostly volunteer organization that rescues and shelters homeless cats and dogs until they can be adopted into their “forever” homes. We want our clients to understand that adopting and animal is a lifetime responsibility and commitment to that animal.

All prospective adopters must show (at the time of adoption) a valid drivers license or other acceptable identification to verify their name, address, and age. Adopters must be 18 yrs of age. Children under the age of 12 years old need to be present at time of viewing shelter cats or dogs.

After submitting an application, there is generally a processing period of 1-3 days in order to complete all pre-adoption checks and paperwork before an adopter may take possession of the animal.

More about this rescue

Paws and Claws Humane Society is committed to partnering with the community to shelter, protect, and seek adoptive homes for abandoned or lost companion animals.

We have served Southern Minnesota for over 30 years and we are the largest shelter in the 8 surrounding counties that does not limit the length of stay for the animals in its care.

Paws & Claws is funded completely on donations and fundraising events and receives no federal, state, county or city funds.We currently have nearly 900 dues paying members.

Paws & Claws has a community fund to help pay for the spaying and neutering of companion animals for those who cannot afford it.

We give over 40 tours and presentations annually, educating the public [including over 400 children] about proper animal care and the importance of spaying and neutering companion animals to help control the pet population in Southern Minnesota.

We have over 110 families that participate in the Guardian Angel Program [sponsoring animals] each month.

Paws & Claws will take in an injured animal and get the emergency medical care that it requires.

Local veterinarians in and around Rochester help Paws & Claws by providing over 145 free spay or neuters each year.

In a typical year the shelter will facilitate adoptions and provide care for over 600 dogs and cats.
