My story

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

I'm entering the Freedom Tails program and plan to graduate on July 3, 2024! pawsgh.org/freedomtails

Bigboi Beef Stew is a great young man who would make a great addition to most homes. He doesn't know his own strengths and can get a bit too rowdy if he gets overstimulated, but calms down with a hug, some chest rubs, and a booty scratch. He adores attention but has never learned the proper way to ask. His go-to right now is to aim for a piece of clothing to try and pull you in and if he goes misunderstood then it turns into a game of tug. There is a certain look that he will give when he needs some extra love and he does great with a hug and a little bit of redirection to a toy. He made his way to us from Hoquiam Animal control where he spent 5-6 months waiting for room with us here at PAWS GH. He has been a joy to get to know while in our care. He is nothing but happy all the time and enjoys the company of anyone willing to say hello. He has made so many new human friends and dog friends here at PAWS and is willing to make many more! He is now one of our long term stays and has been living the shelter life for about 9 months total. He has been patiently waiting for the right family to come along but he is starting to get antsy. He is a very cuddly, loving, smart, playful pup looking for that special home willing to give him a chance to show what a great dog he truly is.





Bonus: He has made friends with our most selective dog and longest term resident Jojo! Adopt him with Jojo as part of a AOGO promotion!

Freedom Tails Update:
4/4/2024

Hello, my name is Stewie( for short), and yes I am short too: about 21 inches at the withers–that is the area between my back and my nose in case you were wondering.

Today, I weighed in at 80lbs. I am built like a horse, and people say I sound like a horse too. Presumably, they are talking about my heavy footsteps because I am not the whinnying type; I am in fact very quiet most of the time. I will pick-up light barks and whines when other dogs are complaining, but when I am by myself, I am usually very quiet–like I said.

Petting me is like petting a horse. All this talk about horses..I suppose I should clarify that I am indeed a bulldog. I imagine you could see that from my stupendous picture. Get it “Stu” pendous-haha.

I would really like a new home. I promise I will be good. People say I am super-duper well tempered. I will make an all-around great family dog, Someday…Please apply to adopt at: http://www.pawsgh.org

Their adoption process

Submit Application

Additional adoption info

Spay/neuter + rabies is included in our adoption fee, but may not be completed by time of adoption due to our limited access to veterinary appointments. We have local partners listed in your adoption contract that you can schedule an appointment with (and are paid by us) or we will reimburse for up to $100 for non-network veterinarians.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our public hours are Tuesday - Saturday 11 am - 4pm. Dog meets may be also scheduled on Sunday and Monday by appointment only.
No appointment is needed to meet our cats during public hours.
Please note that appointments are highly recommended for dog meets due to limited staff availability, but we do accommodate walk-in visits whenever possible. Additionally, many of our dogs may be located off-site in foster homes and an appointment will be required to meet those pets. We do require a completed application prior to meeting pets in foster homes to preserve the valuable time of our foster families.

More about this shelter

PAWS finds new families for stray dogs and cats as well as owner surrendered pets. We also accept animals brought to us by concerned citizens and local animal control agencies and do our best to find them suitable homes. Our mission is to find homes and offer direct care for as many of these loveable pets as possible. PAWS attempts to prevent the birth of unwanted animals through education and spay/neuter programs.

PAWS of Grays Harbor is a strictly non-profit organization and we survive because of donations from our community. All of the animals we adopt out are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and treated for fleas. Sometimes, the animals we rescue require additional veterinary care. Without your donations, none of this would be possible. Thank you for your support, we couldn’t do it without you.
