My story

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

Henry is a handsome hound mix who loves to play and spend time with people. Henry is special, he was found as a stray at about 3yrs old so we don't know his background and what challenges he faced before coming to the shelter.Henry needs someone who is patient and willing to work with him while being mindful of his triggers. We have found that Henry doesn't like to be pulled by his collar, nor does he like his head being restrained, it makes him anxious. While Henry may have some triggers, he's incredibly responsive to positive reinforcement and is eager to learn and grow with the right guidance. He likes to please and he is very smart so with some positive guidence, he'd make a great companion.Henry loves to play but also likes to chill and relax with his people at the end of the day. Having been in foster care, Henry has had some house training and recognizes the command sit. Can you find it in your heart to take Henry in? He can't wait to find his forever family who will cherish him for the wonderful dog that he is.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee is $65 for a cat or $85 for a dog unless we have incurred significant medical expenses. We do not adopt out dogs as guard dogs, or animals that will be "outside only" pets. Our feline residents are required to be adopted as inside-only pets.

More about this rescue

We are a small no-kill shelter founded in 1990. We are the only shelter in the county and rely solely on donations and the sales from our thrift store. We are small enough that each dog (15 max) and each cat (16 max) get individual attention. We have created a home-like environment in our shelter to give the animals as close to a real home while they wait to be adopted. HSUS had dubbed us "the little shelter that could" when the state rep came out and saw all that we accomplish as a very small organization. We have adopted out over 2,500 animals and have financially assisted the community in over 9,000 spay/neuter surgeries. We have 2 full-time staff and rely on volunteers to help us with all there is to do. Volunteers are very important to the success of P.A.W.S. and there are many opportunities not only at the shelter, but in our thrift store, fundraising, administrative, festivals and media contact.
