Story
Milo is estimated to be around 6-7 years old. He was found 3 months ago in heartbreaking condition—extremely emaciated, just skin and bones, and suffering from severe mange. He is now healthy and ready for a forever home.He has an incredibly sweet, gentle personality and gets along well with other dogs, although he prefers females. He would thrive in a home environment where he can receive the love and care he deserves.Despite being kept in a small kennel during recovery, he did his best to keep it clean and waited until he is taken outside to urinate and defecate, which suggests he has good house manners. He loves cuddling and going for walks.He has come so far and truly deserves the chance to heal and finally enjoy a loving, forever home.

Story
Poppy is a loving, affectionate 7-year-old Bluetick Coonhound/Treeing Walker Coonhound mix with a heart of gold. My wife and I adopted her from a shelter in Virginia when she was a puppy. Poppy is equally happy going on mile-long hikes or snuggling up with us and asking for belly rubs at the end of the day, but will definitely need lots of space to run around due to her breed's athleticism and high energy. She loves a good game of fetch and knows basic commands like "sit," "down," and "stay/wait." Poppy will need someone who is comfortable with giving oral medications and shots since she has environmental and food allergies, and she is currently on a special diet (Royal Canin). We are rehoming Poppy since she is nervous around children and had one bite incident involving our toddler, who crawled on top of her when our backs were turned. It was a very minor bite but we can't take more risks, and Poppy deserves a home with no young kids where she can feel fully safe/comfortable.

Hi! My name is Azura, I’m a husky mix. I’m unsure what I’m mixed with but I’m good with cats, dogs, and children. I love going on walks, talking, treats, squeaky and crinkly toys! I’m crate trained, know how to sit and lay down. We’re working on my selective hearing and other tricks. Due to work schedule changes and uncertainty of the attention I need I’m looking for a furever home!

Story
Meet Sadie! Sadie and Val are a bonded pair of sweet, sensitive girls looking for a calm home where they can settle in together and continue building confidence at their own pace. They can be shy when first meeting new people, but once they feel comfortable, their fun and goofy personalities really start to shine. These two absolutely love toys and become much more playful and interactive as they settle in. Watching them grow more confident and silly over time has been incredibly rewarding, and they truly thrive with patience, routine, and understanding. They would do best in a quieter home with a secure yard and adopters willing to give them time to decompress and adjust. They are still gaining confidence on leash, so continued positive reinforcement and patience will go a long way. Sadie and Val are looking for a home that will give them the time and support they need to continue blossoming outside of the shelter environment. In return, they will reward their people with lots of laughs, sweet moments, and the joy of watching their personalities continue to grow.

Story
Short legs, a big smile, and absolutely no concept of personal space—this little lady is ready to wiggle her way right into your lap! She may be a medium-sized dog, but she’s built a little closer to the ground, giving her an adorable potato-like appearance that only adds to her charm. And underneath that potato exterior? A total social butterfly. She loves people, enjoys other dogs, and is always happy to hand out kisses to anyone willing to accept them. Her idea of a perfect day is pretty simple: take a nice little stroll, say hello to some friends, and then find a comfortable spot right next to you—or preferably on you. She is an expert lap sitter and firmly believes that being medium-sized should not disqualify her from lap-dog status. With her friendly personality and love of being part of the action, she could make a wonderful companion for outings to dog-friendly restaurants and patios. She doesn’t need to be on the go all day; she’s happy to enjoy a shorter adventure and then settle in beside her person to watch the world go by. If you’re looking for a smiley, social, kiss-giving little potato who wants nothing more than to be included in your life, she might just be your girl.

Story
Meet Ava, a stunning, large mixed-breed girl with a short tan and black coat and a heart as soft as her big brown eyes. Ava may be a little shy at first, but give her a little bit of time—and maybe a taste of cream cheese—and you’ll see her warm up into the sweetest, most devoted companion. Ava is a gentle, affectionate soul who adores quiet company, cozy and slow, easy affection. She might not be high-energy, but she’s high-hearted—overflowing with love for the people she trusts. Despite her size, she firmly believes she’s a lap dog and will insist on snuggling close whenever she can! When Ava first came to PAWS, she was reserved, but with the support of our team and patient volunteers, she has formed incredibly strong bonds and shown what a loving, loyal friend she is. She’s still building confidence in the outside world and learning leash skills, but with guidance and encouragement, she’s making great progress and will thrive in a calm, patient home. Ava will be the shining star of her forever home, where she can feel safe and adored. Fully vetted, spayed, and ready to meet her perfect match, Ava is looking for a patient, kind-hearted family who will let her blossom at her own pace—and who won’t mind a little lap-stealing along the way! A little patience, a lot of love, and maybe some cream cheese—Ava is ready to show you just how special she is!
