Shelter FAQs

We are a volunteer foster based rescue group that helps animals in need in the Winnebago and Boone county areas. Our main focus is spay /neuter assistance since we do not have a shelter. We are often times confused with the local county shelter. We have fosters for both cats and dogs. We have monthly adoption events throughout the year.
Winnebago and Boone County areas.
  • 1. Submit Application
  • 2. Visit the Facility and Find a Pet
  • 3. Take the Pet Home

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting an animal through PAWS, please go online and fill out an application at www.PAWSHS.org/adoption. We can set up a time to meet the animal and see if there is a good fit.

Once the application is approved, there is an adoption fee of $165 for dogs, $80 for kittens and $50 for adult cats.

All animals are current on shots, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Your new friend comes from a loving home enviornment where you already know about the animals likes and dislikes and its temperment.
