PAWS of Adams County, Indiana

PAWS of Adams County, Indiana PAWS stands for Pets Are Worth Saving. We are an animal welfare group that is helping our community by fostering/adopting/ spay/ neutering and educating.

Group Name: PAWS of Adams County

Our mission is to rescue. Our dream is that one day, we won’t have to. OUR MISSION STATEMENT: To better the lives of the homeless, abused, abandoned and neglected animals in our community, to the best of our ability and as resources permit, through fostering, vetting, socialization and adoption. To grow our TNR (trap, neuter, release) program for feral and commu

nity cats in order to help control the over-population problem. To help reunite lost or found animals with their families. To bring education and awareness to our community regarding responsible pet ownership, ways they can help protect these animals and things they can do to have a pro-active role in helping us carry out our mission. WHO WE ARE: PAWS of Adams County, IN is a 501c3 non-profit organization. We are a dedicated ALL VOLUNTEER, FOSTER BASED pet rescue. Our hope is to someday secure land and a building to operate an animal shelter in the community where we can carry on our mission on a larger scale. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP: Since we do not receive any county, state or federal funding to operate our rescue, our lifeline to helping these animals comes solely from donations, fundraisers and our adoption fees. It truly takes a village! This is where you can help! FOSTER: Open your heart and home to an animal while they await adoption. As a foster family, you provide the love and care, and PAWS covers the expense of food, supplies and vetting. You play a huge roll in giving these animals a second chance at life! Occasionally, we also get requests for a respite or compassion foster from someone needing to temporarily place their own animal in a foster home for unexpected reasons. VOLUNTEER: We have numerous volunteer opportunities! Help with fundraisers and events. Grant writing. Transport animals to/from the vet or spay/neuter clinic. Set and check humane live traps for our TNR program. Help search for lost animals. Offer to hold or contain a found animal while searching for its family. DONATE: Monetary donations can be mailed to: PAWS of Adams County - P.O. Box 482 - Decatur, IN 46733 or visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty and click on the “donate” button. We welcome donations of food, scoopable cat litter, bedding, towels, pet toys and supplies, gift cards, and professional services such as grooming, nail trimming, bathing and medical/legal/professional services. DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE! ADOPT: Consider adding a new member to your family! They can enrich your life and offer unconditional love!

Good Morning Everyone,

We are reaching out, as we are needing pet food for our fosters!

If anyone would care to donate, for dogs, we are needing:
-Purina One Lamb and Rice
-Purina One Chicken and Rice

Purina and Purina One cat foods for all the cats that have been brought would be welcome as well!

We also need to stock our "pet food pantry". We try to keep food on hand for those who may need help with their dogs or cats, and for those who feed community cats. We are not getting as much food from our source as we were and supplies to help these animals are very low.
We can use food like:

Dog Chow
Kibbles and Bits
Friskies
Nine Lives
Meow Mix

We could use gift cards for RK, TSC and Walmart as well to purchase what we need.

Monetary donations can be made by:

Everyone meet Sally!
Sally is a petite, 38 lb, female mixed breed who is around 7 years old. She is a quiet, laid-back little girl who is happy to do whatever you are doing. If you're ready for a walk, she will happily join you, but if you want to relax, she's fine with that also. She gets along well and plays with her foster family's two golden retrievers, and she's fantastic with kids. Although a home without cats is best for her.
She is current on her vaccinations, microchipped, and negative for heart worm and is on preventative. She does great on leash and is house and crate trained and would make a great addition to any home.

If interested in Sally, please submit an adoption application on our website.
When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.

Back in June, we took in 46 dogs from a situation where our help was needed...46 turned into 47 when one of the females gave birth to a single pup about 7 weeks after intake.

Call it crazy. Call it a leap of faith. Call it a situation of "who's going to help if we don't?". Actually, it's probably all of the above!

So here we are today...the last few hours of what has been quite an overwhelming year. And we just wanted to give an update.

Of the 47 dogs, we have completed 32 adoptions!
We have 4 of the dogs in foster to adopt or trial adoption homes, and we still have 11 of these precious dogs looking for their forever homes!
Some of these last 11 are in foster homes and some are still in a kennel/shelter environment with us and would at least love to get into a foster home while awaiting their forever homes.
This group of 47 dogs, have been some of the sweetest dogs that have come into rescue. Adding one to your home, either temporarily as a foster, or as a permanent member of the family, will do your heart good!

Check out their bios, on our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and consider fostering or adopting.

Petey, Simon, Bandit, Spookie, Migo, Samone, Puffer, Hoppy, Baby, Sadie and Maggie.

While you're there check out Dasher...who's been with us going on 3 1/2 years...such a great dog, and our other foster dogs and cats!

Thank you for your continued support!
We wish you all a very blessed 2025!

We love getting updates.....
If you adopted one of the dogs from this 47 dog group and would like to share a picture and an update in comments, that would be fantastic.

Paws is an animal welfare rescue group. We rescue unwanted, abused, and neglected animals. We vet them and adopt them out to loving homes.

Meet BABY!
Baby is a 1.5 year old terrier mix. She weighs 17 pounds and her favorite thing to do is race around the backyard! Baby is shy so she does require a physical fenced yard. She is still working on crate training and potty training as well as trusting all people. Baby does get along great with other dogs and would actually love a companion dog. She doesn’t mind cats but young kids can be overwhelming for her.
Baby is fixed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested negative, on heartworm prevention and microchipped.
If you are interested in adopting Baby 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!

Ready to add some s***k to your life?
Meet Petey!!
You’ll never have a dull moment in your life with Petey by your side.
Petey is a 16 pound, fun and sweet 1 year old pup! This adorable pup is all about living life to the fullest!! He loves to play and is also up for lots of cuddles and TLC! During the warm days, Petey enjoys going on strolls and exploring new sights and smells. During the cold days, he loves to snuggle and watch TV while being petted. Petey loves being a lap dog and will even hop on your lap!
Petey does fantastic with his canine friends and you will even find him cuddling with them! He has not been around cats in his foster home but but we are sure he will get along great with them with his sweet personality!!
Petey is crate trained and doesn’t make any messes in his crate. He likes to keep his “room” tidy and clean. Like any young pup, Petey is learning the art of potty training and making great strides when taken out on a consistent schedule.
Petey is neutered and has received all his vaccines and vetting.
Petey is looking for a family who will continue to provide love, support, and guidance as he continues to grow and learn. If you are interested in adopting sweetie Petey, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.

On August 28th 2022, we met a scared and very timid stray when we caught her east of Decatur.
She went unclaimed and was brought into rescue.
We named her REAGAN.
She has been with us now for 2 years and 4 months.

We are beyond excited to announce that that all changes today, as Reagan has finally found her forever home!!! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚

Since day one, her foster family has worked their magic, and that hard work has helped bring Reagan out of her shell and blossom into the sweet girl she is today!

During her time in rescue, Reagan had a couple of other meet and greets with trial adoptions (as she is slow to warm up to new people)...but she could never quite settle in...and those homes, while good homes, turned out to not quite be "home" for her.

We knew her forever family was out there...it just took a little longer to find them...or for them to find her. Well...good things come to those who wait...and this family was definitely worth the wait!

Trying a new approach this time, given Reagan's timid nature, we set up multiple meet and greets with this family....first at the foster home, then at their home, then having them spend part of the day with her, one on one, before a final meet and greet in their home, where she would stay for a trial adoption if all went well.

We walked in for the last meet and greet and Reagan immediately seemed to make herself at home. It was comfortably different than the other times in the past.
We were like...yep...SHE'S HOME!

Her new mama and dad are so patient with her and have spoiled her from the moment she arrived a few weeks ago. They made her a birthday cake and even had a Christmas stocking waiting for her!

We are so thrilled for this precious girl and her new family!

Here's to Christmas miracles and to your happily ever after Miss Reagan! We will love you always!

Sorry...but not sorry for the picture overload! 🤭
