HOW DO I ADOPT AN ANIMAL FROM PAWS?
DO YOU FOSTER HOME-OWNED ANIMALS?
WE DO NOT FOSTER HOME-OWNED ANIMALS. There are some exceptions to the rule about home-owned pets entering our foster system. In VERY RARE cases, we go above and beyond to help a very sick person or even someone who has passed away and left animals behind.
Check with friends, family, neighbors, or business associates to see if someone will adopt the pet. You can also place an ad in the paper. Be sure to ask for an adoption fee to offset your cost of getting the animal spayed and neutered prior to adoption. If you prefer, you can place a classified ad or "courtesy posting" on our website. The animal must be spayed or neutered in order for PAWS to provide you with this service. You need to send us all the info about the pet such as age, sex, breed, description, disposition, whether the animal gets along with other dogs/cats, children, what kind of home it needs, etc. – anything that might be helpful to someone wanting to adopt.
Send this along with up to 3 clear digital pictures to Pam for dogs or Laura for cats.
At the beginning of the info, put ‘Pet for Web site’. At the end give name, address, phone #. NOTE: Your name and phone #, as well as email address if you prefer, will be included in the ad so that interested parties can contact you directly. You can check the pet list on our Web site: pawsohio.org, to see how ads are written, if you wish.
