Baby Rosemary left for her FOREVER HOME tonight! 🏡💕 This little girl is off to start her next chapter with canine and feline siblings to keep her company. And we have no doubt she’ll keep them all busy with her adorable kitten antics! 😹🐱🐶
From a very sick tiny girl who needed a helping hand to a beloved member of her forever family, Rosemary’s story has the happy ending we always hope for! ❤️
Congratulations, sweet Rosemary! May your new life be filled with endless love, cuddles, playtime, and mischief! 🐾💗

🎉🐾 IRIS HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 🐾🎉
Oh, Iris, we are SO happy for you! ❤️🥹
You may remember Iris came to us with a gnarly tumor on her tail. After having her tail amputated, the biopsy results revealed cancer. Thankfully, with the tumor removed, Iris is now cancer-free! 🎉 And let’s be honest, that adorable little nubbin of a tail just makes her even more precious! 🥰🐶

📢 Important Update from PAOC

It is with heavy hearts that we share that, due to circumstances beyond our control, we will no longer be able to provide our community pet food pantry.

We are deeply saddened by this decision, as we know how important this resource has been to the families and animals in our community. Our mission has always been about helping animals in need, and we understand how difficult this news may be for those who have relied on this service.

While this is a heartbreaking change, we remain hopeful that someday we will be able to resume our efforts to support the community's animals and the families who love them.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our pet food pantry and helped us make a difference. Your kindness, generosity, and understanding mean so much to us.

The Oswego Animal Shelter, OCAWL and Friends Forever do have food pantries available so please utilize these resources.

Please do not call Paws and Effect at 315-343-0001 for food or animal concerns. PAOC can be reached at 315-207-2511

Our hearts remain with the animals and families in our community. ❤️🐾

🐾 What do these three adorable 4-month-old puppies have in common? 🐾
They ALL need forever homes! ❤️
Meet Dino (white), Bam Bam (black), and Wilma! These sweet babies spent a couple of months at the Oswego Animal Shelter before joining the PAOC pack. That means they have basically spent their entire lives in a kennel. 😢
But despite their start in life, these three are super loving, affectionate, and eager for human companionship. They deserve so much more than growing up behind kennel doors—they deserve a family, a warm bed, a yard to play in, and someone to love them forever. 🏡🐶❤️
Please share, share, SHARE! 📣
You never know when the person who is meant to be their forever family will see their picture.
A kennel is no place for a puppy to grow up. 💔
🐾 Dino • Bam Bam • Wilma
4 months old • Loving • Ready for forever ❤️

🎉🐾 SUPER EXCITING NEWS! 🐾🎉
Baby Stevie has officially left for her FOREVER HOME! 🏡❤️
Sometimes fate has a plan, and this was definitely one of those times! 🥹 Our volunteer had to stop by work on the way to Stevie’s spay appointment, and her boss met Stevie… and instantly fell in love! 😍
And honestly, how could he not?! Stevie is the sweetest little kitten and has stolen so many hearts since the day she was found. ❤️🐱
We couldn’t be happier that this tiny girl who overcame so many obstacles has found her happily ever after with someone who already knows just how special she is. Happy forever, sweet Stevie! 🐾💕
Another PAOC success story! 🥰
