While laws don’t necessarily stop the heinous things people do to animals, they do give us ways to monitor and prevent animal abuse. As an example, C Hawkins was ordered not to own animals again after heinous neglect of many animals (you may remember the starving horses along 308 and the many dogs he was breeding). When he got two Malinois puppies, PSP got a warrant and we took the dogs. Our judge in that case was amazing and we were granted legal ownership of the dogs. I have little doubt that he will do this again but in this case, because he is ordered not to own animals, we will be able to protect future animals as well.

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Greg Steube Files LEASH Act to Permanently Ban Felony Animal Abusers from Owning Pets

Florida Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has introduced the LEASH Act, legislation designed to stop convicted felony animal abusers from ever owning or caring for animals again.

The bill would create a nationwide, publicly accessible database of felony animal cruelty offenders to prevent repeat abuse and enhance public safety.

“Animal cruelty is barbaric and too often ignored,” Steube said. “This bill holds offenders accountable and protects animals from repeat abuse.”

Common sense legislation that puts animal welfare first.

I was in my office. WORKING. Being productive. Trying to run a respectable nonprofit organization.
Meanwhile, Bubba who has never paid a bill or contributed a SINGLE CENT toward office supplies, climbed onto the scanner, PHOTOCOPIED HIS ENTIRE FUZZY UNDERCARRIAGE, AND REQUESTED 99 COPIES.
NINETY. NINE.
SIR?!?! WHO ARE THESE FOR?!
ARE WE PUTTING THESE ON ADOPTERS' WINDSHIELDS?!
DO YOU HAVE A MAILING LIST?!
ARE WE RUNNING AN ONLYPAWS OUT OF MY OFFICE?!
I managed to stop the printer after TWELVE unsolicited glamour shots of Bubba’s unmentionables.
Then it hit me...
HE'S GETTING NEUTERED NEXT WEEK.
Apparently, he wanted commemorative photos of his factory-installed equipment before his upcoming appointment.
SIR. YOU'RE GETTING NEUTERED. NOT DISCONTINUED!
His unmentionables have been censored because, unlike Bubba WE HAVE STANDARDS.
On a personal note, I ABSOLUTELY needed this belly laugh today!
And I may or may not be framing one of these masterpieces in my office.

Ed is a beautiful baby that is waiting for his special someone to come adopt him. Please don’t ask me Ed’s breed. We have no clue. He was surrendered with 4 siblings and is about 4-5 months old Eddie will be a big boy but is very gentle and loves attention. His favorite toys are anything he can chase or chew on. He is a typical puppy and wants to put everything in his mouth. How else do you figure out what it is?
If you are interested in adopting please visit our website for an application.

Bugsy is a 9-12 month old girl that loves to climb. Loves attention and affection. She has Bengal spots but without a DNA test we do not know her breed. She jumps from place to place and loves to sit in the window and call to the other animals she sees. She is currently sharing a room with 4 other cats and the occasional little dog that wanders in. If you would like to add Bugsy to your pack. Please stop and get an application.

Since we’ve been able to find great homes for several of our dogs lately, we were able to take some dogs from our waitlist. These dogs are from the Amish. They didnt have names so we are naming them Scarlet, Gamble,
Steve, and Sparrow. Those are the winning dog houses names in our curb market contest! They range in age from 8 months to 5 years! They are poodle bichon mixes. Margie Lawrence is going to groom them Friday. These babies are beautiful!

D***y, d***y, d***y 🐶❤️🐶 is definitely a staff favorite pup. He is a snuggly bug and just wants a home from Christmas. 🎄 He has spent his first 2 with us at the rescue.

I have posted Pauly before. Pauly has been sponsored before. People seem interested in him and then they never follow through. Pauly is a good boy. He does good with cats and dogs. He loves attention. He loves kids. He is very excited when people notice him and he will jump. He pulls on a leash because he is eager to walk and explore. He has so much potential if someone would just give him a chance.

Pauly was born 7/23/2025 and has lived at the rescue since 7/26/2025. He had never had people of his own. I don’t understand why.

If you think Pauly may be the dog you have been looking for please email us for an application. [email protected]

We would like to thank our Precious Paws Wellness Clients for their patience this afternoon. When the power and internet went out in Seneca, so did our phone lines and computer systems. While we have a back up generator to keep the electric on, Comcast was also down the majority of the afternoon, which prevented us from making and receiving calls, answering Weave text messages, running our lab equipment, and finalizing our notes. Systems were still down when we left at 7:00 PM. Tomorrow, we will be in early to reset the system and hopefully it will be restored by Monday. Please have patience with us as we had to reschedule appointments due to the lab equipment being down. We are doing our best and appreciate your understanding. Thank you.
