Midwest PAW's, located in the Kansas
City metro area, is a rescue group
devoted to
German Shorthair Pointers, English Pointers and
Weimaraners. We are a no-kill,
non-profit, all volunteer organization. We do not have a shelter or kennels
therefore, all of our dogs live in foster homes.
We are a group of volunteers with a special place in our hearts for these
wonderful dogs. Whether we find a dog in need at a shelter, wandering the
streets, or if they are with a family who no longer has time for them, we
take them in. If they need to put on some weight, need medical attention, or
just need someone to show them what love is, we provide it all. We find a
foster home for each dog to stay with until we find their forever family.
The dogs needing some attention before they are ready to be adopted will be
in the Recovery Room (coming soon). Here you can track their progress until they are well
enough to be adopted. Once they are ready, they will be moved over to the
Available Dogs page.
Can You Help?
We are desperately needing foster homes for our doggies until they are
adopted. Could you help us out by printing out
our "Foster Homes Needed" flyer and putting it up at your work, your child's
daycare or school or just distributing it to your friends and family? All of
us here at Midwest PAWs would greatly appreciate it!
Do I go home today?
My family brought me home cradled in their arms They
cuddled me and smiled at me and said I was full of charm They played with
me, laughed with me and showered me with toys I sure do love my family,
especially girls and boys.
The children loved to feed me; they gave me special treats They even let me
sleep with them, all snuggled in their sheets I used to go for walks several
times a day They even fought to hold the lead, I'm very proud to say.
They used to laugh and praise me, playing with that old shoe I didn't know
the difference between the old one and the new The kids and I would grab a
rag and for ages we would tug So I thought I did the right thing when I
chewed the bathroom rug.
They said that I was out of control and had to live outside This I could not
understand although I tried and tried The walks stopped, one by one, they
didn't have the time I wish that I could change things, I wish I knew my
crime.
My life became so lonely in the garden on a chain I barked and barked all
day long, to keep from going insane They brought me to a the shelter, and
embarrassed to say why They said I caused an allergy and then they said
goodbye.
If only I'd had classes, when I was just a pup I wouldn't have been hard to
handle, when I was grown up 'You've only one day left' Someone said to me
Does this mean a second chance? Do I go home today?
