Pontotoc Animal Welfare Society was incorporated as a nonprofit, charitable orgainization in September, 1982.
PAWS operates the animal shelter for the purpose of sheltering lost, unwanted, sick and injured animals until a new home can be found or the animal is humanely disposed.
PAWS also has an agreement with the city of Ada for the placement of impounded dogs and cats. These animals must be kept for 72 hours allowing the owner time to reclaim.
Donations to this organization are tax deductible. We are always in need of collars, leashes, canned cat and dog food, treats, toys, bath towels, paper towels, pens and paper. We love having visitors. Please come and see our new "cat room" where cats can be free in a nice sunny room to play and sleep. PAWS also now has a "visiting room". There you can take the dog/cat that you like and get to know them better.
WAGS, WOOFS and MEOWS from all the furkids at PAWS and thank you for visiting our site.
Adopting a friend
Remember when you adopt a fur kid, they will need time to adjust to their new enviornment. Positive training with lots of yummy treats and lots of love will help make the transition go more smoothly. We will always be here to help with any questions and can refer you to good trainers if needed.
PAWS is open Monday , Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to the public from 10:00 am until 4:00pm , Tuesdays 10am to 6:00pm
AND
Saturday from 10:00am through 2:00pm.
We are closed to the public on Sunday.
Adoption fee for dogs is $70.00 and cats $30.00
PAWS is in need of volunteers for various tasks. Should you have a desire to help, please contact pawsnada@aol.com. It can be very rewarding work and fun..
Would you like to be a foster parent? This would help PAWS help more of the furkids. References and home visit are required.

DO I GO HOME TODAY???
My family brought me home cradled in their arms.
They cuddled me and smiled at me and said I was full of charm.
They played with me and laughed with me and showered me with toys.
I sure do love my family, especially the girls and boys.
The children loved to feed me, they gave me special treats.
They even let me sleep with them - all snuggled in the sheets.
I used to go for walks, often several times a day.
Oh, it was just so wonderful to be able to play and play and play.
They are the things I'll not forget - a cherished memory.
I now live in the shelter - without my family.
They used to laugh and praise me when I played with that old shoe.
But I didn't know the difference between the old ones and the new.
The kids and I would grab a rag, for hours we would tug.
So I thought I did the right thing when I chewed the bathroom rug.
They said that I was out of control, and would have to live outside.
This I did not understand, although I tried and tried.
The walks stopped, one by one, they said they hadn't tiime.
I wish that I could change things, I wish I knew my crime.
My life became so lonely, in the backyard, on a chain.
I barked and barked all day long to keep from going insane.
So they brought me to the shelter but were embarrassed to say why.
They said I caused an allergy, and then they each kissed me good-bye.
If I'd only had some obedience training, as a little pup.
I wouldn't have been so hard to handle when I was all grown up.
"You only have one day left" I heard the worker say.
Does that mean I have a second chance?? DO I GO HOME TODAY??
