Story
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. Available, Spayed, Vaccinated, up to date on flea and heartworm prevention Adoption Fee: $150 (for Sadie and Val)

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!

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.

Story
Meet Wally! A 4-year-old medium mixed-breed dog ready to find his forever adventure partner. This athletic boy is the ultimate companion for active owners, boasting plenty of stamina for long hikes and daily jogs. Once the outdoor fun is over, he loves to celebrate with a hilarious round of backyard zoomies before settling in for some relaxation. Wally is just as affectionate as he is energetic, with a silly personality that shines brightest during playtime. He is deeply devoted to his stuffed animals and is rarely seen without his favorite plush duck or his beloved dragon toy close by. If you are looking for a fun-loving, loyal friend to share both the trails and the couch, Wally is your perfect match.

Story
Lilo & Stitch – A Bonded Pair Meet Lilo, a beautiful  hound mix with a heart overflowing with love and loyalty. Lilo lives for human interaction—it might just be her favorite thing in the world! She eagerly greets everyone she meets, insists on being part of everything you do, will put her feet in your lap, and even give a face-lick or two. She also loves curling up next to you, making sure you’ll never feel lonely again. Lilo has a calm, sweet spirit and thrives on affection and connection. She’s a wonderful cuddle buddy and a loyal companion who will happily follow you wherever you go. She gets along with other dogs too—though she can be a little reserved at first, she warms up quickly and loves to play. Lilo is currently bonded to her brother, Stitch, and they are looking for a loving forever home where they can stay together. They walk well on leash and are ready to bring double the love, joy, and companionship to a family that will cherish them both. Adopting Lilo means not just gaining a loving, devoted friend, but also welcoming her inseparable brother Stitch into your heart and home. Together, they’re a dynamic duo of love, loyalty, and cuddles.

Story
Meet Ambrose, a happy, fun, loving boy who will steal your heart in less than a minute! This big teddy bear loves meeting everyone he can and is always ready for some affection—whether he’s leaning into you for pets or 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.
