If you have ANY QUESTIONS or are truly interested in adopting any animal from PAW Animal Shelter Please, fillout an adoption application FIRST!   WE are a high intake No Kill Shelter ran by a staff of 4 and do not always have time to answer every question asked by so many. If you are a good fit for the animal you are interested in -we will call to speak with you, If we feel you are not a good fit , we will contact you about other pets that may be a good fit for your home. Many people are losing the opportunity to adopt the animal they want because they fail to put in an application and the pet was adopted before we could answer your email. .If you have applied for an animal in our facility and have not received a response within 7 days, PLEASE call or contact us again. Though we do our best in trying to answer all emails in a timely manner, sometimes things get away from us, get lost or misplaced. It is never our intention to ignore a request about an adoptable animal in our facility. Sandy Brown, Director, PAW Animal Shelter 319-372-2274 ##2616619##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Nelly! ❤️     Nelly (fka Azel) is a beautiful Boxer mix with a heart that's just waiting for the right person to help it shine. After being returned to our shelter, she's looking for a fresh start with a family that understands that trust takes time. Nelly can be a little nervous when meeting new people or experiencing unfamiliar situations, and she's sensitive to certain noises, but once she feels safe and knows you're part of her circle, her goofy, loving personality begins to blossom. She enjoys spending time with her people and forms strong, loyal bonds with those she loves.   Nelly is looking for a home with older children or adults only, as young children are not the best fit for her. She can also be protective of her home and the people she cares about, so she'll thrive with patient adopters who are committed to continuing her training, building her confidence, and helping her feel secure. With consistency, understanding, and plenty of positive reinforcement, Nelly has all the potential to become an incredibly devoted companion. If you're willing to give this sweet girl the time she deserves, you'll be rewarded with a loyal best friend who will love you with her whole heart. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 4, 2026, 11:33 am

Story
Luna is a great dog but she needs someone who can give her more exercise and needs a yard with a fence. She has been trained with an invisible fence but when another dog goes by she will dart after them and go over it! I travel a lot and kennel fees are expensive and my kids won’t watch her anymore because of the darting after other dogs! They both have dogs and gets on well with them it’s a strange dog she goes after! I have taken her to dog parks and once off lease she is fine but on lease she is very protective of me! She is good with kids as I have several grandkids and has only jumped on them usually when they first get there because she is excited! The only reason I am charging a fee as I just got her up to date on all shots and has gotten the new flea shot that was expensive! And I think a fee will get her a good home! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Story
- Prefers to explore and do their own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once they're in a home environment and have had time to decompress - Loves going on walks and does best with a harness- Smart boy who knows sit- Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs (dog intro required)- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (mature home recommended) The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing a primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 92 Age: 4yrs 2mths 0wks

Story
Meet Picasso & Marmalade 🍊 If these two puppies could talk, they’d tell quite the story. Picasso and Marmalade were found abandoned at a mattress dump, sick, starving, and struggling to survive. Thanks to lots of care, good food, and love, those difficult days are behind them, and now they’re ready to start the next chapter of their lives: finding forever families. At just 8 weeks old, these adorable pups are as sweet as can be. We believe they may be Staffie/Boxer mixes, which means they're likely to grow into loyal, fun-loving companions with plenty of personality. 🍊 Marmalade is the more reserved of the pair. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a few minutes and you'll see her sweet, loving personality shine through. She's still building her confidence and learning that the world isn't such a scary place. 🎨 Picasso is the adventurous one. He's curious about everything and is usually the first to investigate a new toy, explore a new corner of the yard, or see what's happening around him. He's playful, happy, and always ready for a little adventure. Both puppies are affectionate, playful, and soaking up all the love they can get. After everything they've been through, they deserve families who will show them what a safe, happy life looks like. Ready to add a little color to your life? Picasso and Marmalade are waiting to paint your world with puppy kisses, wagging tails, and unconditional love. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
