How YOU Can Help
We are always looking for fosters and adoption volunteers.
Fosters are people who are willing to open up their hearts and homes to nurture and care for a rescued animal until a permanent home can be found. It is up to the discretion of the foster on whether a dog can be adopted out of state. Many of them want to keep in contact with the pet and out of state adoptions make this a little more difficult. Please contact the email address listed with the pet as that is the foster person's email address in most cases. Paws and Prayers assists with food and pays for the medical care of the animals. Adoption volunteers assist the fosters by making runs to the vet, promoting the organization, and bringing animals to showings at places like Petsmart.
Many of the animals we rescue are in dire need of medical care. We also ensure that the animals are spayed or neutered before they are adopted. These expenses add up! Our adoption fee helps cover at least some of this cost. However, donations are always much appreciated and put towards a very good cause!
* HELP! Many may ask where the adoption fee goes. The medical care, including shots, tests, and spay/neuter, generally exceed the fee. In addition, some of the animals we take require critical care as they have not been treated medically in some time. If you can help us at all, please send your donation to: Paws and Prayers Pet Rescue, P.O. Box 2864, Akron, Ohio 44309. We would appreciate any help you can give! *
The Top Ten Reasons to Adopt an Older Dog
1. Older dogs are housetrained. You won't have to go through the difficult stages of housetraining and cleaning up after accidents.
2. Older dogs are not teething puppies, and won't chew your shoes and furniture while growing up.
3. Older dogs can focus well because they've mellowed. Therefore, they learn quickly.
4. Older dogs have learned what "no" means. If they hadn't learned it, they wouldn't have gotten to be "older" dogs.
5. Older dogs settle in easily, because they've learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of a pack.
6. Older dogs are good at giving love. They are grateful for the second chance they've been given.
7. Older dogs have grown into their shape and personality. Puppies can grow up to be quite different from what they seemed at first.
8. Older dogs are instant companions -- ready for hiking, car trips, and other things you like to do.
9. Older dogs leave you time for yourself. They don't make the demands on your time and attention that puppies and young dogs do.
10. Older dogs let you get a good night's sleep because they're accustomed to human schedules.
Tuffy - Tuffy is a small Yorkshire Terrier, yorkie for those who fondly know the breed. He is the nicest little guy who has had an awful life. He was hit by a car and his pelvis was broken in four places. The surgery was only partially successful and he is still dragging his legs. He actually needs another operation which will cost the rescue around $1,200. As you can probably guess, we go from adoption to adoption and donation to donation and have very little in extra funds as we medically treat and spay and neuter all animals. If you could find it in your heart to help this little guy, please send any monetary donations to Tuffy Fund, % Paws and Prayers, P.O. Box 2864, Akron, Ohio 44309-2864. He will truly appreciate it. We thank you and Tuffy thanks you. To contact Paws and Prayers, please email pawsandprayers@neo.rr.com . Hope to be hearing from you. .
Allie -
Allie is a beautiful black and brown(brindle) shepherd/boxer mix girl with white paws and some chest speckling. She has a one of a kind look and only is between 35-40 pounds total and around 2 years old. She is super smart and would make an excellent agility dog. She can jump, run and play harder than any dog we know. She probably would not be great with toddlers due to her exuberance, but kids over 8 would have lots of fun with this girl. To adopt Allie PLEASE DO OUR APPLICATION ON LINE. If you have any questions about her, please email toypudel@lek.net or mharbin@neo.rr.com or call 330-877-0400 to see her. She is waiting! email us .
