We are now recycling aluminum cans as an ongoing fundraiser. Save your aluminum cans and drop them off at Paws. You help the environment and the Animals at the same time.

We also recycle used paper. This includes newspapers, magizines, old school papers, etc. We use some of the paper as bedding for cages and the rest recylce with Paper Retreiver. We receive a donation for every ton of paper we have. It's a great way to help the animals and keep the landfills from filling up!

Pages for Paws- We will be holding book fairs in several locations through out the county. The books can be purchased at the book fairs by donations only, no pricing, just your support. This can be a great way to clean out your attic, basement, book shelves, kitchen or any place you have books stored. Your donations can make a difference! You may drop off your book donations at the shelter or contact us at 937-653-6233 to arrange a pick up time.
