Perry County Animal Rescue (PCoAR) was started in 2009 because of love for animals. The core mission of PCoAR is to shelter lost and unwanted animals from Juniata and Perry Counties until a new home is found.
PCoAR will promote responsible pet ownership through spay/neuter education, vaccinations and general pet care.
With the help of volunteers, PCoAR has successfully found homes for many animals as well as reuniting lost pets with their families.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS:
Paula Current: Director, Treasurer and Volunteer
Paula says that critters have followed her home all her life and they’ve always been a big part of her life. They have given her so much. She feels that now is the time to try and return the favor. Paula believes she is finally doing what she was always meant to do and the critters are STILL giving her more then she feels able to give back. Each and every animal takes a bit of her heart but gives back tenfold. Paula feels the animals shame her in the way they forgive, forget, and are always ready to love again. They amaze her!
Board of Directors:
Jeff Current: President, Volunteer
Jeff remembers having pets as a kid which he enjoyed. But when he met his wife, Paula, and she said, "Love me, love my kids and love my pets," he had NO idea what he was getting into. Helping unwanted and abandoned pets is something he never knew he would be doing but it has become a very big part of his life.
Laura Current: Secretary, Volunteer
Laura grew up around animals. She can't imagine her life without a dog or a cat. She currently lives in Newport with her dogs; Ham, Dorothy and Bowie and cats Wyatt, Squishy and Ziggy. She believes she will forever follow in her parents' footsteps, helping homeless pets.
Susan Hench: Member, Volunteer
Susan has been volunteering at the shelter since January, 2020. She adopted her most recent pet, a dog named Zeus, from the shelter in March. Susan is a retired nurse who has always had pets. She got her first dog, Buttons, when she was two years old. She has had dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, and guinea pigs. She lives in Loysville with her husband, Alan, Zeus, two horses, and a guinea bird named Harold.

She enjoys watching movies, traveling, hiking, biking and camping- all with her little yorkie, Rubee, by her side for the adventures.
