PAWS Humane Society Animal rescue in Rockford, IL

We are a volunteer foster based rescue group that helps animals in need in the Winnebago and Boone county areas.

Our main focus is spay /neuter assistance since we do not have a shelter.

We are often times confused with the local county shelter.

We have fosters for both cats and dogs...and do have a feline adoption center inside the PETCO on E State St.

We have monthly adoption events throughout the year.

Additional adoption info

Once the application is approved, there is an adoption fee of $165 for dogs, $80 for kittens and $50 for adult cats.

All animals are current on shots, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Your new friend comes from a loving home enviornment where you already know about the animals likes and dislikes and its temperment.
