Meet Stitch! Stitch is a one-year-old German Shepherd mix with the heart and personality of a Golden Retriever. Weighing around 50 lbs, he’s on the smaller side for his breed—but his love and joy are anything but small. This happy-go-lucky boy truly loves everyone. Stitch greets friends (and future friends) with his signature wigglebutt and will gently paw at you to politely request pets and affection. Attention is his love language, and he gives it right back tenfold. To Stitch, everyone is a friend—people, kids, dogs, and even cats. He enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes and has a naturally friendly, easygoing demeanor. He walks nicely on a leash, though he occasionally likes to plop down for a quick break (because life should be enjoyed at a relaxed pace). Stitch also adores water and can often be found lounging happily in a kiddie pool on warm days. Stitch is crate trained and potty trained, though as a young dog he thrives with a consistent routine. He has been neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (negative), fully vaccinated (rabies, distemper/parvo/lepto, bordetella), wormed, and started on heartworm prevention—he’s all set for his forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, affectionate companion who will love you unconditionally, Stitch might be your perfect match. To apply to adopt Stitch, please visit www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. Be sure to answer all questions completely and honestly—only completed applications will be considered. Thank you for considering adoption. https://www.pawsofadamscounty.com/adoption-foster-appwww.pawsofadamscounty.com

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 community 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!
