I adopted my girl Lily (was Luna) from Paws Place March 2021. I was impressed by the layout and cleanliness of the facility. It was apparent that they care about the well being of the dogs in their care. They took care of all the health issues before I brought her home and they let me visit several times a week as I waited for her to heal. While I was a bit impatient with the process, I appreciated that they were making sure Lily and I got off to a good start.

Thwle best rescue/shelter ever. They truly care for and love all the dogs. Their volunteer program is unlike any I've seen. Truly a blessing to all the dogs who come through their doors and those who rescue them.

Ollie has been the best rescue ever. He has fully recovered from his injuries and is living his best life.

This place is so fantastic. The staff is so knowledgeable and informational. They really care for each and every dog in every way. They follow up and ensure the dogs safety and happiness. I got my sweet Ollie from them (white dog) as a brother to my babygirl Irie (black dog) and they have been best friends ever since. I could not have found a better match if I tried my hardest. These two go together like peas in a pod. Paws Place did their due diligence vetting our home, our reasoning for adopting, and making sure they would get along. They continue checking in and provided some wonderful information and resources in his adoption packet for anything we may need. I can't say enough about this agency!

We are so happy with our sweet Baylee that we adopted from Paws Place 3 months ago ! She is an absolute joy and we could not be more in love!!! Our adoption process was such a great experience and we feel like the people at Paws Place truly want the very best for their fur babies. We highly recommend Paws Place to anyone looking to expand their family with a four legged baby.

Only great things to say about Paws Place!!! It’s been 3 months since I got my new fur baby from them. I really appreciated the process of how they go about just the right forever homes. Tilly is a sweet girl and has fit in so great with my family. Thank you for all you do for them!!

We had a seamless adoption experience with Paws Place! Their facility was clean and you could tell they truly care about finding the right fit for their dogs. They let us do a trial adoption to make sure our new dog would get along with our current dog. We would highly recommend getting your next forever friend from Paws Place!

Very clean, not much smell like other rescues. I watched the volunteers take the dogs around the property, and when the dogs do their business, they pick up the waste! Wow. That's commitment...... also, the dogs did not do an over abundance of barking when we walked around the kennel.KELLY, was great with allowing me to walk the dog I was interested in. Allowing me to do a thorough vetting of the dog. I immediately put in a request to adopt him!When she was not sure if his origin, she admitted to that. I appreciated the honest answer.... I will be a supporter of Paws Place from now on, even if I don't get the dog I chose.

I adopted Emmy in April 2022! It was a really great experience. Paws Place takes excellent care of their dogs and gets them everything they need physically and emotionally. They are also very meticulous about where the dogs go to be adopted. Very important!!! Emmy is such a happy little dog in our home with us and our male lab.

Great organization that takes wonderful care of their dogs. The adoption process is slower than I have experienced in the past but they are clearly trying to match the right pups to the right family. Our pup received a lot of medical care before being available for adoption which I doubt most shelters would do. I am so grateful they took the best care of him!

What a fantastic facility. What a fantastic staff. My husband and I had waited a very, very, very long time before deciding to adopt again. Paws Place was such a joy to work with. They take such great care of the dogs they rescue while they're waiting for their forever homes. When we toured the facility, we were told of dogs that had been then almost 4 years that we still awaiting adoption. I don't know of any rescues that take such great care of dogs that long while waiting for a permanent home. And to think they do so much of this with a minimal paid staff and mostly volunteer team. They also appear to be one of the few rescues that are willing to take on the cost associated with rehabilitation of dogs due to injury, genetical problems, heart worms, etc. We found our dog, Harley, at Paws Place in December of 2021. She had been found wandering in Dublin County. Poor thing was so skinny and was clearly dealing with some stiff joints. Paws Place got her on the road to recovery and my husband and I took over from there. We are eternally grateful to Paws Place for allowing Harley to join our family.

This is the best pet adoption center I have ever seen. Their biggest concern is the dogs, and they will do everything they can to make sure a dog goes to the right family. Paws Place uses an extensive background check before sending a dog home, as a place who puts the well being of the dogs over profit should. They are very nice to work with and quick to respond to any questions.

We saw a dog up for adoption on their Facebook page and commented that we would be there the next day. We show up only to be told that because of covid we cant come in and because it's a little rainy out the dogs can't come out (never mind I see 2 people out walking dogs but whatever). We leave and get all the way back home just to receive a message from the owner saying she would like us to some back if we are still interested in seeing the dog. Ok. We drive all the way back to them, get outside talking to the owner and she is asking us about our 3 dogs we currently have, if they are up to date on shots, etc. I tell them yes that I do all my own shots except rabies and those are done at Brunswick Animal Shelter where we adopted them. It is because of this reason we are informed we are not eligible to adopt the dog because we don't take them to the vet for these services. So it doesn't count that I have almost 2 acres of land and 3 very happy and healthy, well fed dogs because I save money doing things on my own. So on our way home again as a follow up to my original post on the dogs FB post I say "it didn't work out, I am unable to adopt because I do my own shots", more as an informative thing to others than anything. Going back to see if anyone responded to my post I see that they've been deleted and they've blocked me on Facebook Messenger. This isn't the proper way a shelter wanting people to adopt dogs to treat people who just want to give a dog a good home.

I would definitely read ALL the reviews when looking at this page, because the ones that aren't great are very true. My daughter and I went out there as soon as they opened this morning because I wasn't allowed to see the puppies when I went there on Wednesday (this is Sat.) because there was AN application on each pup. ??? I would think they'd want multiple applications if the first one went south...but NO, I was told by two of their employees that once the dog as AN app they won't show them or take any other apps. Does this make sense? Not to me...then I received a very nice message from Bethany there who seems to be the only person who has any sense and she told me that two of the dogs did not have an application (was I given wrong info?) on them and I was able to put in one for them. Which I promptly did, sight unseen (basically, I did see the pups through the fencing on Wed. but wasn't allowed to get to really see them close up). So, now I went out there today to actually SEE the pups up close because who wants a pup they've never seen? We were "greeted" by a woman who said we couldn't see them because they all had AN app on them, I told her the story, then she said she'd have to go in and ask someone, 15 minutes later as we waited in freezing wind, another lady who looked exactly the same but a different lady (Kathryn) came out and said she'd been briefed last night and all the pups were not to be shown as they already ((yes, again) had AN app. This "conversation" went on and on for around 10 minutes and she was quite rude. I let her listen to the voicemail I'd received from Bethany and then I felt this is hopeless (as all of the other people who were there to see the dogs were let in immediately to walk around outside (Covid) and see all the dogs). My daughter said she'd adopted her dog from there two years ago to this lady ( as I said let's leave) and all of a sudden the lady changed, (just like Jekyll and Hyde), and said, "do you want to see the dogs"? So, although I was tempted to just get the heck out of there, we we were finally allowed to see the dogs. I cannot believe the rude and ridiculous behavior of these folks. I am vetted by 10 or more rescues already and to go through this nonsense was that, NONSENSE. My daughter and I are going to make some great skits out of this experience since it was also hilarious! Thanks for some great laughs Paws Place!!!!!
