Midwest PAWs, 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?
