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.
