Lots of improvements at PAWS!

Please come out to PAWS if you have not visited lately to see all of the wonderful improvements that Brenda & Jeff Nordman are making. They made big improvements to the dog side kennels and repainted everything on the dog side. This summer they gave the outside of the shelter a fresh look with new colors and an attractive sign the Nordmans made. Their lastest project is a memorial garden in memory of Michele Harrold and Karen Rackeweg who both passed away in the last year. Both of these women were wonderful animal lovers and gave countless volunteer hours to the shelter. They will never be forgotten.

Become a Foster Parent!

PAWS is very happy to announce that the State of Iowa has approved us to foster animals. Please call the shelter at 641-257-0766 for more information or email Julie at: julie@pawsonline.org if interested in completing a foster application. It is a great way to help an animal adjust to a home environment and almost always guarantees they will find a permanant home faster.

We especially need foster homes for pregnant & nursing mother cats with kittens, puppies and older/special needs animals.  

Thank you!

Sheri Ostman and the Waverly Pet Rescue

PAWS has a very dear friend in the rescue world and her name is Sheri Ostman.  She started the Waverly Pet Rescue one year ago with the help of friends and has saved many lives. She is a true animal lover with a big heart. We would like to showcase her dedicated efforts and rescue.


The Waverly Pet Rescue is NOT A SHELTER. They are a small group of people with a sincere love for animals. The towns they live in do not have shelters so they are helping the homeless pets that have nowhere else to go. All the animals that they have will live in a loving volunteer home until adopted no matter how long that takes. They are very committed to the animals they are helping.

If you would like to adopt one of their pets, please email and Sheri will send an application. They are devoted to the animals in their care and do all they can to make sure they are placed in good homes. They require all prospective adoptions to be subject to application and interviewing before adoption approval.

No dogs will be adopted that will be kept strictly outside. They do not adopt to inside / outside homes for cats. If not already done, all animals must be spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption.

Adoption fees are listed on each profile.

Thank you Sherri for your ongoing efforts to help our animals at PAWS find homes.
