PAWS ADOPTION CENTER
Animal Adoption - Paws Adoption Center
PAWS Animal Adoption in Monroe Ohio has found permanent homes for over 13,000 abandoned, neglected and homeless dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies.
The Progressive Animal Welfare Society, now better known as PAWS Adoption Center, was originally formed by a small group of concerned animal lovers in 1980.
Our goal is to establish a dog and cat adoption center that does not utilize euthanasia. In addition to wanting to provide a no-kill alternative, years ago, PAWS’ founders realized the importance of providing spay/neuter and medical treatment for all animals in their care.
Having established its goals, PAWS moved into an existing dog boarding kennel. A trailer was added to provide office space and housing for cats.
In 1989, the trailer was replaced by expanding the original kennel, and since then all animals have been housed in the same building. (The picture to the left is from our OLD Middletown Ohio facility, taken in 2010.)
In 2014, after years of planning and hard work, we moved to our new, spacious building in Monroe, OH. With this more visible location, our adoptions tripled!
PAWS Adoption Center earned the Gold Level of Transparency award for GuideStar in 2018.
