My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Walter. I am almost 10 years old and weigh 67 pounds. I was found as a stray and lived at Paws4You for a year before finding my foster home. My fosters aren’t sure if I ever lived in a house before as everything seemed new when they brought me home. I even jumped at a lion on the TV thinking he was real! I’ve since learned to love the comforts a home and no longer get spooked by things like the TV. I’m 100% house trained, no accidents from me. I also learned to sit and wait for my food until you give me the ok. I love going on walks, going for car rides and getting pets from my humans. I like my crate and I use it when my humans go out and to sleep at night but I can be left out of the crate as well and don’t cause any trouble. I use my crate when visitors come over as well so I feel safe. I think it’s best I go to a home with no other dogs or young kids as this lifestyle is new to me and I may take some time to trust. You can win me over with slow introductions, walks and treats! I love treats. I haven’t had any interest since I’ve been here but I’m hopeful my future family will see this and ask about me! Adopt me!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

There is an adoption application used as a pre-screening tool (available on paws4you.org/application), references are required and house visits are made by volunteers. We request a donation with every adoption which includes sterilization, microchip & registration, current vaccinations and a heartworm/ehrlichia test. The adoption donation covers the boarding and medical expenses incurred on all rescues, not just one.

More about this rescue

PAWS4you Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer 501(c)3 animal rescue organization based in Miami, Florida. Our top priority is to save animals from euthanasia at Miami-Dade Animal Services. An average of one hundred animals are destroyed every day at this county shelter! Rescued animals vary from being sick, injured, homeless and surrendered to simply lost. We give these animals a safe environment, professional medical care, hope and lots of love. Our animals are sterilized, vaccinated and ID micro-chipped. Some require major surgery from a specialist to repair broken limbs while others may need additional rehabilitation time and specific medical care - ranging from bordetella (kennel cough) and skin infections to cherry eye and heartworm treatments. Once Paws 4 You Rescue commits to helping an animal, we seek the best quality treatment available - taking no shortcuts. Our dogs stay at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities and foster homes until they find their forever families.
