PAWS of Dearborn County
Our Mission
At P.A.W.S. of Dearborn County Humane Center, we are dedicated to improving the lives of unwanted and abandoned animals by providing a safe, humane shelter environment. Our goal is to ensure that every adoptable animal is given the opportunity for a forever, loving home.
A Community-Driven Purpose
Founded in 2001 as a non-profit organization, we have been committed to our community for over two decades. We believe that saving lives and eliminating animal suffering is a shared effort, and we are proud to serve as a hub where our community's lost and abandoned animals find care, compassion, and a second chance.
How We Provide Care
Our facility in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, is owned and operated by the Partners for Animal Welfare Society, where our team works daily to maintain the health and well-being of our residents. While we offer a safe shelter environment, we also utilize a dedicated network of foster parents who provide temporary, loving homes for animals that need extra socialization, medical recovery, or a break from the kennel environment before finding their permanent family.
Your Journey to Adoption
Adopting a pet is a meaningful, joyful responsibility, and we are here to help you find the perfect companion for your lifestyle. We prioritize thoughtful matches, ensuring that our dogs and cats are ready to join your family with confidence. We encourage you to visit our center, meet our residents, and speak with our staff about the unique personalities waiting to meet you.
Get Involved
Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer your time, or support our efforts, it takes a community to help our friends in need. We invite you to explore our list of adoptable pets online or visit us at our Lawrenceburg location to see how you can make a difference today.
