Story
Through no fault of his own, tiny baby Jax found himself at a crowded Louisiana pound in early March. He was soon pulled by a local rescue and has been thriving and growing in foster care ever since. We aren't sure of Jax's history or breed make up, but our best guess is Border Collie x Australian Shepherd mix. As of May 14th, he is 4 months old and weighs 26 lbs. We expect him to be around 50 lbs at maturity. Jax's foster mom says, "He is playful and LOVES toys, especially his giant turtle... when he was smaller, he curled up and slept on it and now he still tries to sleep on his turtle. There aren't many things that Jax does not love but some of his favorites are: playing outside, playing with our dog, playing with the neighborhood kids, playing in water, food (he is VERY food motivated and eats from a slow feeder bowl). He is doing well with learning to potty outside. He will whine/bark when he needs to go outside. He has the cutest little ears and really seems to listen when you talk to him and even tilts his head from side to side. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate and does listen if you tell him "no"." Jax is a wonderful pup who has had a great start in foster care and is now ready for a forever family to continue his training and help him grow up to be the best boy he can be! Jax's album with more photos + video clips: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BytYMFQbPVhucrzG7 You may have to copy and paste the link into your browser. Jax has completed his full series of puppy shots and is current on heartworm/flea/tick prevention and deworming. He will be neutered and microchipped in late May and then will be ready to travel to his forever home! Jax is currently in foster care in North Louisiana, but we welcome out of state adoptions. We have an amazing transport that delivers all along the East Coast... PA, NJ, CT, NY, VT. PAWS of NE LA was formed back in 2003, and we have been sending our special Southern dogs to wonderful homes up North since 2010.

Story
Some dogs just want a home. Max wants his person. The kind of person he can nap beside after a long day of playing outside. The kind that laughs at his goofy big-baby personality, gives him a sunny spot to lay in, and keeps a few treats nearby because food is absolutely the way to his heart. And those big brown eyes? They look at you with so much love and hope it’s impossible not to feel something. The kind of eyes that make you wonder how he’s still waiting for someone to choose him. He’s learning beautifully, loving deeply, and trying so hard to be someone’s perfect dog. All he’s missing now is his forever home. 

 When your application is approved, we put you in touch with the foster for FaceTime so you can see your puppy in real time and ask questions. It's a process that's worked for hundreds of dogs over the past fifteen years.

 Max is neutered, rabies, puppy vaccines and boosters, microchip, dewormed, parasite prevention. He comes with medical records.

 Max is approximately 5 months old and weighs about 30 pounds. He has big bones and will likely grow over 60 pounds. 

 Max lives In a Foster Home with a working couple, adult dogs, 3 puppies, and cats. His fosters think a lot of him and are anxious to speak with you and tell you how smart this beautiful dog is! 

 There is lots of room to write on the application. Please tell us about yourself, and your pets, current or previous.

 Transport arrives 6/5 with our adopted dogs. $585 total adoption fee includes transportation and a health certificate from a licensed vet. Serious adopters should fill out the application online and we'll be in touch in a day or two.

Story
We are seeking a new home for our 5-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd, Hazel.As our family and pets have gotten older our household needs have changed significantly. Our oldest dog is experiencing progressive vision and hearing loss and requires increasing supervision and medical care, and we have a child with special needs requiring a lot of our attention as well.After a great deal of consideration, we have realized that we can no longer give all of our pets the individual time, structure and attention they deserve with everything going on. We believe Hazel would benefit from a home that can provide her with more attention and the opportunity to thrive.Hazel is spayed, house-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. She loves to run, bark, play frisbee, run in the sprinkler and chase squeaky toys.We are committed to finding the right home for her and would be happy to speak with serious inquiries about her personality, routines, and care.

Health & Background Estimated date of birth: 19 April 2026 ✅ SPAYED ✅  Core vaccines (DAPPv, Bordetella, Lepto) up to date - too young for Rabies ✅ Monthly preventatives ✅ Microchipped with 24PetWatch - registered with Free Pet Chip Registry. ⚖️ Weight approx. 10 pounds Texas Foster Report Card Summary Meadow is a bright, adventurous puppy with a big personality and an eagerness to explore the world around her. Foster describes her as an overachiever, a natural leader among her siblings, and one of the first to investigate anything new. She is curious, playful, and always ready for the next adventure, whether that means exploring the house, testing out the stairs, or enjoying her favorite nightly run around the block with her foster mom. Meadow forms strong bonds with her people and loves being close to them, earning praise as a loyal, affectionate companion who enjoys cuddles while still maintaining her confident, independent spirit. Foster describes her as "smart, daring, and rebellious," highlighting the confidence and personality that make her stand out. As a young puppy, Meadow is still learning the basics and will thrive with an active, experienced adopter who can continue guiding her development. She is currently working on house-training, learning commands, and improving her leash skills, though she already knows "sit" and "come" and enjoys walking on leash. Meadow has a higher-energy play style than many puppies, enjoying rough-and-rowdy play, zoomies, and active games with other dogs. Foster notes that she is fearless, highly intelligent, and eager to be involved in everything happening around her. Her primary challenge is typical puppy mouthing, and foster notes that she has the strongest bite among her siblings during play, though it is not aggressive and simply reflects her confidence and enthusiasm. With no resource guarding, aggression, or handling concerns, Meadow is a loving, spirited puppy whose intelligence, loyalty, and adventurous nature will make her an incredible companion for a family ready to keep up with her zest for life. Our adoption fee's are $550 per dog/pup or $1,000 for two. Adoption Details Location: Dover-Foxcroft, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire.

Foster describes him as the biggest puppy in the litter and the natural leader among his siblings, but beneath that confident exterior is a sweet, affectionate boy who enjoys both playtime and his quiet moments. Gus is calm and relaxed in the home, loves to play, and keeps himself busy with toys and puppy adventures. He enjoys being close to his people, loves cuddles, and is described as a "sweet baby" and an "ideal puppy." Foster notes that he is often the ringleader who starts the fun, always ready for a game, a meal, or a well-earned nap after a busy day. As a two-month-old puppy, Gus is still learning many important life skills and will thrive with continued training and guidance. He is currently working on house-training, learning leash manners, and becoming more comfortable with crate time, where he may bark, become mildly frustrated, or occasionally try to break out. Gus already knows sit and come, responds well to treats, and enjoys active, energetic play with other puppies. His play style is rough-and-rowdy, physical, and vocal, making him a great match for confident canine companions who enjoy high-energy fun. Foster notes that he can be mildly protective of his food, though this appears to stem more from wanting to make sure he gets his share than true resource guarding. He has shown no aggression, handling concerns, or bite history and does best with slow introductions to new situations. Overall, Gus is a goofy, affectionate, and confident puppy whose playful spirit and loving nature will make him an outstanding companion for an active family ready to help him continue growing into an amazing adult dog. Our adoption fee's are $550 per dog/pup or $1,000 for two. Adoption Details Location: Dover-Foxcroft, Maine Families must complete and submit an adoption questionnaire.
