Powell Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is a 501(c)(3), all-volunteer, foster-based dog rescue serving the Columbus, Ohio area. Our volunteers find loving homes for dogs from overpopulated shelters in Ohio and neighboring states. Each foster home provides shelter and care, while PAWS provides food, veterinary care (including spay/neuter), all necessary supplies, and training support. We are committed to securing permanent, nurturing homes within Central Ohio, while also providing education about the importance of spaying/neutering, dog safety, preventative veterinary care, and behavior issues. This reduces overpopulation and ultimately alleviates the needless suffering and euthanasia of adoptable canine companions — one dog, one adoption at a time.
