✨CALLING ALL BOURBON LOVERS! Diesel needs your help!🥃
We are on a mission to collect 100 unopened bottles of bourbon, for the 2025 Bow Wow Ball bourbon grab, but we can't do it without you. If you've got a bottle to spare, please drop it off at the Wayne County Dog Shelter, 5694 Burbank Rd., Wooster. (or contact a PAWS board member for pick-up)
Don't have time to shop, but would still like to contribute? Feel free to make a donation and a PAWS board member will do the shopping for you!

All proceeds directly benefit the Wayne County Dog Shelter Medical Fund, who help dogs just like Diesel.
Let's make this happen!!
Cheers to the PAWS cause!🐶🥂

Update on sweet Lilly. ❤️

UPDATE ON LILLY'S CUSHING'S TEST!

We wanted to share that Lilly’s test results came back positive for Cushing’s disease, and she also has low thyroid levels. Unfortunately, this means that Lilly will need to be on medication for the rest of her life to manage her conditions.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to help us get the test done.

Now, we kindly ask for your continued help. If you’re able, please consider donating toward Lilly’s ongoing medication costs while she is at the shelter.

Lilly is available for adoption, foster, and rescue!
