My story

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

Please share this amazing boy with all your friends and help him find his forever home.
Mac is a smart boy with a loving, playful personality...and the softest belly i have ever had the honor pet. He'd really love a family of homebodies because he'd rather not be alone....ever. But if you have to leave him, he does have a Fort Knox strong crate to keep him safe.

Looking for a couch potato dog, well Mac is for you! He does love to sleep on the couch but also loves to play with the fosters dog. He listens well when he is off leash in the backyard. He also gets excited to go on the 2 mile walk with his foster mom and walks well on leash. He loves his foster mom and likes to follow her around. He is also very smart, he has started learning when his foster mom is getting ready to leave and will go to his crate ?

He is house trained and doesn’t chew on anything that isn’t his toys. He does have some separation anxiety but has already started doing much better now that he is in a foster home and has a routine. He also is on medicine at least for now to help and has a durable crate as we work on his separation anxiety.

For more info, please reach out to mizelk@yahoo.com

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Some dogs are at the shelter and some are in a foster home. If the dog you like is at the shelter, please contact the person listed. She will fill you in on all the details.

If the dog you are interested in adopting is currently in a foster home, please EMAIL the individual "Foster Parent" noted in the description.



An Adoption Form Questionnaire will be emailed back to you. Upon completion, email the application back to spdrapp@shelteredpaws.com


After review, we will be happy to set up an appointment for you to come and visit with the dog in the foster home.
If the adoption is appropriate, you will be asked to sign an adoption contract.



A nominal adoption fee is charged for each dog. This fee includes a vet check, all shots, any necessary medical work and medication, spay/neuter (if possible and appropriate). All of our work is volunteer. WE MAKE NO PROFIT ON THESE ADOPTIONS. This fee does NOT include those additional things we supply while the pet is in our care e.g. pet supplies, food, toys, grooming, training, etc. (plus a heck of a lot of hugs!)

More about this rescue

Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue was established in 1997 in order to save shelter dogs that need a foster placement.


We are a 501 (3) (c) non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.


The reasons for fostering include:


  • Orphans too young for adoption
  • Nursing mothers
  • Mildly sick/injured dogs
  • Dogs that have been abused
  • Dogs that can not adjust to living in a shelter environment

Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue and a local shelter work together to place these dogs in temporary, loving foster homes. When you adopt from us, you are helping to save a shelter dog!!


Our Goal is to save shelter dogs in need and place them in good homes. To promote the placement of special need dogs with the help of adoption bags, grooming, socialization, and providing needed supplies. To pair the right dog with the right human companion(s), enriching everyone's lives.


Our Mission is to develop trust and love with a dog that needs to be reminded that many humans can and will take good, loving care of it for the rest of its lives. To then find loving homes for these previously abused, abandoned, sick, neglected and confused dogs. To give the dog a solid re-start with behavior, health, and trust. To spay/neuter our rescued dogs of age to stop the cycle of unwanted litters.
