My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oh sweet Iroh...

Iroh was originally part of the `Avatar the Last Airbender` puppies and the son of mama Sally. He was adopted in the summer of 2023 but unfortunately, he found his way back to us due to no fault of his own. Understandably, he was quite nervous making his way back to the shelter so we are hopeful that his stay with us will be short.

He is warming up quickly to the staff and volunteers as well as spending time with his original foster mom! Iroh has lived with other dogs and done well. He would enjoy another canine companion to play with in his forever home. He has also lived with kids and did very well with them. He is potty trained and kennel trained! He is about 2 and a half years old now and is a Norwegian Elkhound mix.

Iroh is extremely overweight and has been started on a much needed plan of diet and exercise while here at the shelter! His new family will need to continue to work on his weight loss journey to help give him the best quality of life possible. If you think this handsome boy is the one for you, apply online today!

Adoption fee is $350 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Paws and Claws Humane Society (PCHS) is a non-profit, mostly volunteer organization that rescues and shelters homeless cats and dogs until they can be adopted into their “forever” homes. We want our clients to understand that adopting and animal is a lifetime responsibility and commitment to that animal.

All prospective adopters must show (at the time of adoption) a valid drivers license or other acceptable identification to verify their name, address, and age. Adopters must be 18 yrs of age. Children under the age of 12 years old need to be present at time of viewing shelter cats or dogs.

After submitting an application, there is generally a processing period of 1-3 days in order to complete all pre-adoption checks and paperwork before an adopter may take possession of the animal.

More about this rescue

Paws and Claws Humane Society is committed to partnering with the community to shelter, protect, and seek adoptive homes for abandoned or lost companion animals.

We have served Southern Minnesota for over 30 years and we are the largest shelter in the 8 surrounding counties that does not limit the length of stay for the animals in its care.

Paws & Claws is funded completely on donations and fundraising events and receives no federal, state, county or city funds.We currently have nearly 900 dues paying members.

Paws & Claws has a community fund to help pay for the spaying and neutering of companion animals for those who cannot afford it.

We give over 40 tours and presentations annually, educating the public [including over 400 children] about proper animal care and the importance of spaying and neutering companion animals to help control the pet population in Southern Minnesota.

We have over 110 families that participate in the Guardian Angel Program [sponsoring animals] each month.

Paws & Claws will take in an injured animal and get the emergency medical care that it requires.

Local veterinarians in and around Rochester help Paws & Claws by providing over 145 free spay or neuters each year.

In a typical year the shelter will facilitate adoptions and provide care for over 600 dogs and cats.
