Story
Meet Kiara, a lovable dog with a heart full of joy and a tail that never stops wagging! Kiara is the perfect balance of playful and affectionate—she adores her walks, loves meeting new people, and can’t resist getting pets the moment she has the chance. She’ll even place her paw gently on your lap as if to say, “Excuse me… I believe it’s time for more attention.” Kiara is smart and already knows a few basic commands, making her a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a loyal best friend. She enjoys walks and exploring the world at her own pace. She would make a fantastic adventure buddy—we think she’d enjoy hiking, camping, and joining in on outdoor activities—but she’s equally happy relaxing at home and simply being near her people. Whether you're up for a weekend outing or a quiet evening on the couch, Kiara adapts beautifully. About Me: Estimated DOB 09/29/2021, 4 years old and 2 months. Female, 45.2 lbs Spayed, Vaccinated, up to date on flea and heart worm prevention Adoption Fee: $150 Adoption Application – https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PCOR/Dog

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 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’s 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 can be. 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 has a history of living with one dog and would likely do best as 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!

Story
Lilo & Stitch – A Bonded Pair Meet Stitch, a 3-year-old male hound mix with a heart as big as his namesake! While a reserved at first, Stitch is sure to steal your heart—and your treats. He has truly blossomed with the care and encouragement of staff and volunteers at the shelter. When his friends come to visit, he runs around excitedly, grabs toys, and plays happily with his sister, Lilo. Stitch is looking for a caring, loving home where he can feel safe, build confidence, and continue to blossom. He has done well with other dogs and is currently bonded to Lilo—they are looking for a forever home together. Stitch is new to walks but already enjoys them, exploring alongside Lilo and taking in all the sights and smells. As one volunteer says, “Stitch is such a good boy, and it’s so sweet to watch how he interacts with Lilo. He is really starting to come out of his shell and will love whoever gets to take him home with her!” With patience, love, and the companionship of his sister Lilo, Stitch will bring endless joy, loyalty, and cuddles to the lucky family who opens their heart and home to this dynamic duo.

This gentle giant is still growing into his paws and has all the youthful curiosity and sweetness you could hope for.

He also completely believes he’s a lap dog (despite… well, his very large reality!). Wick loves to lean in close, soak up affection, and be as near to his humans as possible.

Meet Ambrose, a happy, fun-loving guy who can steal your heart in less than a minute! This big teddy bear of a dog loves meeting everyone he can and is always ready for some affection—whether he’s leaning into you for pets or belly-flopping for belly rubs, he always seems to be smiling. Ambrose is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and couch companion. He lives for walks and hikes and would make a fantastic outdoor companion. While he can get excited at the start of a walk and may pull a bit, once he gets moving he walks beautifully on leash—and he’s working with trainers to continue improving his leash skills. He already knows “sit,” “down,” and “relax” on a mat. With his show-stopping smile, affectionate nature, and endless enthusiasm, Ambrose would thrive as the center of attention in a home, soaking up all the love and companionship his humans have to offer. Whether you’re exploring the outdoors or enjoying a quiet night in, Ambrose is ready to be your loyal, loving sidekick for life.
