Peace for Paws Ohio is an all volunteer organization. We operate by a very dedicated group of volunteers and network of foster homes.

Peace for Paws Ohio is a non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization, organized to assist with the homeless pet overpopulation in Ohio. Our mission is to provide education and financial support for spay and neuter efforts, to foster and adopt dogs from high-kill shelters, to provide resources to shelters and humane societies that care for animals from large-scale rescues, to support Ohio legislation for companion animal protection, and to provide temporary pet food assistance for families going through financial hardship.

Peace for Paws Ohio was founded August 24, 2011 in Dublin, Ohio, by a group of dedicated animal lovers. Before forming Peace for Paws Ohio, the members individually volunteered at various Ohio shelters and a large-scale hoarding rescue, and were involved in promoting animal protection legislation in Ohio.

Foster Dog’s Veterinary Care
The organization primarily rescues animals from kill shelters in Ohio and surrounding states. Due to the high volume of urgent or “death row” dogs, the organization does not accept owner surrenders. Each animal is spayed or neutered, vaccinated for Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, microchipped, heartworm negative and de-wormed prior to adoption. All animals are on heartworm preventative and flea/tick preventative. Outside normal veterinary care, the organization also provides any additional veterinary care due to sickness or injury. The organization treats heartworm positive dogs and provides surgeries when necessary. We have relationships with Veterinary practices around Columbus including: Health & Harmony, OSU Veterinary Hospital in Dublin, MedVet, East Hilliard Veterinary Services, Rascal Animal Hospital and VCA Animal Hospital. We rely heavily on the generous donations of the public to help fund these efforts. To make a donation, click here

Funding Our Efforts
In addition to public donations, the organization has fundraisers throughout the year. Bids, Barks & Beats Silent Auction raises 10% of the organization’s annual income. In addition to the Silent Auction, Peace for Paws Ohio also has Dog Washes, Happy Hours and other miscellaneous fundraisers.
