Our Pet List
Who We Are
We are the People for Animal Welfare Society (P.A.W.S.). P.A.W.S. is a volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation located in Greene County, Iowa. Our purpose is to ensure humane treatment of Greene County animals by providing humane education, responding to neglect/abuse calls, and providing a low income spay/neuter program for Greene County residents. We also care for the animals at the Greene County Animal Shelter, which is a small shelter for lost and abandoned animals. We strive to find loving, permanent homes for these animals through our adoption program. We have a new website! http://www.pawsofgreenecounty.org/Adopting a friend
Adoption fees for animals adopted from the shelter are $75 for a cat and $100 for a dog. This fee includes spay/neuter, rabies shot, distemper shot, flea preventative, worming, and microchip. If an animal is too young to be altered at the time of adoption, either the animal may have the surgery done through PAWS at our veterinarian when of age, or the adopter may choose a different veterinarian, but must furnish proof of altering. If the adopter chooses to use their own vet, they will be refunded a portion of the adoption fee. All animals adopted from the facility are subject to spaying/neutering in accordance with Iowa law.Donating and Volunteering
The shelter can always use donations of paper towels, cleaning supplies, dog and cat toys, dog collars, dog leashes, blankets, Frontline for dogs/cats, new or used cat furniture, cat beds, cat towers, treats, and new or used doghouses to pass on to dogs in need in the community. Also in need are specialty foods, such as kitten food, puppy food, senior food and moist food. Volunteers are always needed to do evening chores at the shelter. Regular chore volunteers do nightly chores for one week, from Monday to Sunday. Right now we are down to FIVE volunteers, meaning everyone is responsible for a week, once per month. IF YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT VOLUNTEERING NOW IS THE TIME. Chores are easy and relaxing!Come Visit Us!
PAWS is located on West Russell Street in Jefferson, next to the wastewater treatment plant. From Highway 4, take Russell Street west at the stoplight, go past the swimming pool, and start down the hill. Once you see the waste water treatment plant, turn into their parking lot. The facility is the building on the southeast side of the parking lot.Volunteers are not on site regular hours, so adoptions and viewings are done on an appointment basis. You may call or e-mail us to set up an appointment.
