It Takes a Community to Help a Friend
There’s a place in our community where the hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, and the abandoned are given care. It’s PAWS of Dearborn County Humane Center, which provides comfort and care for our community’s unwanted and lost animals.
Saving animal lives, ending animal suffering and homelessness, and eliminating cruelty and violence toward animals is not just the responsibility of any one group of people.
It takes a concerted effort by many . . . It takes a community.
Become a foster parent . . . a volunteer . . . and/or help with monetary donations or items on our wish list. You can also help by spreading the word to your friends and family that there are dozens of healthy, loving adoptable pets waiting to share their love with a family.
As we’ve said before, “It takes a community.” PAWS is grateful for the support of our community, and we ask that you continue to help us help those who can’t speak for themselves.
Featured Pets
Kong
Hoku
4 1/2 years old, Shepherd Mix, Female Spayed. Hoku is a true cuddlier all the way. She is looking for someone to go on walks with and curl up on the couch. Hoku isn’t needy by any means but she sure does love just being with someone whenever possible. She likes her stuffed animal toys and takes good care of them. Meet and greets are required for any possible fur siblings because she can be a little picky. Hoku is a medium energy dog, the best of both worlds. She will love to lounge around with you or go have an adventure for the day.
Sakura
1 years old, DSH Brown Tabby, Male Neutered. Sakura loves to give attention. He is shy at first, but once he warms up to you he just wants to be around you. He loves sunbathing on a soft bed. He enjoys when you scratch behind his ears and by his tail. He gets along with other cats. He enjoys playing with his cat toys. If this handsome man sounds like the cat for you, stop down and meet him.
