Since 2010, Rogers Animal Services has had a major impact on the community. By putting into practice a form of progressive animal control that is focused on reuniting lost pets with their families, Rogers Animal Services, has greatly reduced the number of animals that have been brought to the shelter every year since 2010. This has led to the shelter being able to maintain a 100% Lives Saved rate. This means that any dog or cat that we have come into contact with has either been reunited with its home, been adopted, sent to rescue or is still at the shelter waiting to find it’s forever home.

Our History: The effort to provide a shelter for abandoned pets in Madison County began in the late 1980s from a grassroots effort of several citizens who were concerned about stray cats and dogs in the county. In 1997, the group registered as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. In 1998, the county gave the MCPS permission to build a shelter on the county-owned land south of the Recycling Center. The shelter building became a reality because of so many in Madison County. Because of money donations, materials and lots of labor put in by skilled craftsmen the shelter was created. The fall of 2014 the Madison County Pet Shelter, Inc. board voted for our name change and that is when Paws and Claws Pet Shelter became about.

Thousand Oaks, California has been a safe haven for Sniffspot host, Jen, since childhood. Having grown up in busy Santa Barbara, Jen, an introvert from an early age, would seek out solitude and serenity away from tourists attractions and droves of people visiting from elsewhere. “My grandparents own 60 acres about a 30 minute drive from here, and I grew up spending every summer and every holiday visiting them on the ranch,” Jen explained. “In Santa Barbara, we wouldn't go to the beach on the weekend because that's where everybody was, so you'd find places off the beaten path where the tourists weren't. For me, the ranch was just my happy place.”
