My story

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

Hi, my name is Dug. I am a lab mix somewhere around a year and a half old. I can best be described as very puppylike, and extremely affectionate. My likes include whatever you are eating or have in your hands, and my life goals are to get as many belly rubs and treats as I can.

Like most rescue pups, I did not get off to a great start. I had people who wanted me but did not take good care of me. It has left me a little shy. My foster parents have been working with me to get me acclimated to the world and it has helped, but please understand, while I know I will love you, I am going to bark at you for a bit. But, I warm up pretty fast and then we can get to the belly rubbing part.

What I need is a family preferably without small children. Little hands coming at me kind of freak me out. My foster brother and sister have helped me to gain confidence and learn some manners, so I would love to end up in a house with another dog. Mostly, I need good parents with experience raising dogs.

It is my hope that you will want to get to know me. If so, I can promise you this, I will steal your heart and most likely a few of your socks.

Additional adoption info

An adoption application must be completed prior to coordinating a private meet and greet with the dog's foster parent. An adoption contract is signed at the time of adoption. Veterinarian reference and a home check is also required. Since we do home checks for all potential adopters, we prefer to adopt only within the central Ohio area. All dogs have an adoption fee of $300.00 which covers their vaccinations (including rabies, heartworm testing and heartworm prevention) while in our care, worming, microchipping and spay or neutering prior to adoption. Please email us at contactus@powellpaws.org if you would like to meet one of our great, adoptable dogs.

More about this rescue

PAWS (Powell Animal Welfare Society) is a 501(c)(3), all-volunteer, foster-based dog rescue serving the Columbus, Ohio area. Our volunteer rescue, provides veterinary care and finds loving homes for stray, neglected, and/or abused dogs from overpopulated shelters in Ohio and neighboring states.

PAWS strives to eliminate the needless euthanasia of homeless animals, one dog, one adopter at a time. We are in need of more loving foster homes for homeless dogs. PAWS can only save a dog if we have a foster home to care for it since we have NO kennel. Each foster home provides shelter and care, while PAWS provides food, veterinary care (including spay/neuter) and all necessary supplies such as crates, bowls, leashes, collars, etc.
