Some of our programs
TNR program
Helping The Community
At PAWS of Adams County, Indiana, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing this issue. As we tackle the community cat problem we are seeing a change in certain areas once over populated with community cats. Along with the TNR program we have been creating as many outside cat shelters as possible. These cat shelters are used to protect them from the elements and dangerous cold temps. We can always use straw and styrofoam coolers big enough for a large cat as well as straw.
Animal Rescue and Care
Reinforcing our Commitment
We rescue as many animals as we can. With this initiative, our goal is to build a Rescue building. With a building we will be able to rescue more animals, hold strays, allow people to see more of our animals in one location that are not currently in a foster home (which we will still be using foster homes), have so much more on location storage, medical supplies, grooming area which will save us lots of money. and so much more!
Foster program
One Step at a Time
Our foster team is made up of a group of dedicated people committed to fostering an animal in their home until a perfect adopter is found.

We find beauty in the most incomprehensible places
and the otherwise homely faces
It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, pain, sadness and defeat
and find the true soul that lies within
We are the hope for the hopeless!
We...... Are RESCUE
