Story
***FOSTER / FOSTER TO ADOPT NEEDED*** Lazlo is a super sweet boy who needs a human and a home.  We want to start him as a foster or foster to adopt so we are sure it is a good fit as he has been through many changes in a short time.  He loves people and other dogs and would do well with a confident doggie friend to show him the ropes.  Laz is about 1 year old and 50 pounds with lovely soft golden fur that is wondful to pet.  He is a bit of a "low rider" so we think he is Golden Retriever mixed with something short.  He is settling in well at doggie day care and has made best friends with another PAW dog. Laz is very treat motivated and responds well to guidance from a person.  We think that Laz is going to bloom into an absolutely fabulous family dog with a little time and a lot of love - can you be the person to help him on his way? PAW adopts to the DC, MD, southern PA, and northern VA area. ##2580537##

Story
River is an old soul looking for his soulmate - could you be his person?  River had a tough start in life and came to PAW quite frightened of the world.  With the endless love and dedication of his foster family he has begun to feel secure - and to blossom.  Now he needs to find his forever home where a loving adopter will continue the process to help him to become the dog he is meant to be. River is a gentle giant.  At 2 & 1/2 and 70 pounds, he is a big fluffy love bug.  At first River can be anxious around new people and in new environments - but once warmed up, he loves people (including children) and other dogs. In fact, River must have another dog in the house as he follows the lead of his current foster brother and has learned so much from him! River loves running and playing in the yard.  Because he is still working on leash walking, River's forever home must have a fenced-in yard.  It will be important to continue leash training and exposure to new situations. This is the best way to build River's confidence and to teach him that the wide world is a fun place to explore!  River's daily medication helps calm him down, and this is something that his forever person will need to continue for River's benefit and comfort.  If you think you could be the one for River, apply to adopt today! PAW places animals in the DC, MD, northern VA, and southern PA area only. ##1836418##

Story
***SENIOR***Sweet Mabel came from an overwhelmed shelter in SC to find a second chance at life.  She is a medium-sized adult hound who loves people and is great with other dogs. She is a sweetheart who loves to relax on the sofa rather than to play and engage in typical hound-like hijinks.  Unlike most hounds, she does not bark a lot. Mabel is great with people, dogs, and potentially cats. She is a wonderful, calm five-year-old girl, who cannot wait to find her forever home! Mabel rides well in the car and loves an adventure. She is easy on leash and her walks are about the sniffs and saying hello to her fellow dogs - hounds and others alike! She is in doggie playgroup during the day and loves to socialize. Really, Mabel just wants a slow walk, snuggles, and a ray of sunshine through a window to warm her as she sleeps! ##2506207##

Story
Van is the rock star of dogs.  He is a showstopper!  But we all know it isn't (just) about looks - and Van has the whole package.  He is sweet, loving, smart and adores humans and dogs.  At a year old and 32 pounds, Van is a great size and age to join your household!  Van's foster tells us he’s such a smart pup and knows sit, down, crawl, paw, touch, find, and spin. He’s working on “eyes on me,” follow, place, and stay. When he gets wound up, he responds to “get it together.” If you tell him “get your toy” he’s able to redirect himself the majority of the time.  He is housebroken and will put himself in the crate when he needs a little downtime.  He’s been very friendly with dogs of all sizes and he wants to play with every dog he meets. He can get a bit overexcited during play but responds very well when a dog corrects him.  He is working on learning to sit and stay calm when a dog passes him while on a walk. As a young dog he will need a family who is willing to continue training and give him the exercise and play that a young dog needs.  Apply today - this rock star will not be around for long!  PAW adopts to northern VA, southern PA, DC, and MD. ##2532462##

Story
URGENT - needs foster! Meet Chuck – A PAW FAVORITE, Chuck is a loving boy with personality to spare!  Chuck is a handsome, playful 2-year-old brindle boy, who LOVES to play with other dogs. He is super patient with his canine friends, even littles! Weighing in at around 60 pounds Chuck is bursting with love. Despite his young age, Chuck developed cataracts and lost his vision—but thanks to the amazing team at PAW, he’s had eye surgery and is now discovering the world with fresh, bright eyes and a nose for fun. Because of his limited vision early in life, Chuck can be a little tentative when meeting new people. But he warms up quickly and shows his goofy, sweet, and fun-loving personality! He absolutely loves going for walks, exploring the yard, and doing zoomies (watch his video—it's guaranteed to make you smile). He’s patient, smart (he knows "sit" and is learning "down"), eager to please, and already crate trained and housebroken. Chuck would be fine as an only dog but he would love a brother or sister! Chuck is also very social—great with other dogs and people. His favorite things include peanut butter, music, ear scratches, and nose rubs. This oversized cuddlebug thrives on love and companionship and would make a wonderful addition to just about any family—especially one with another dog, as he’s been thriving in a foster home with canine pals. Can you be the one to help him continue adjusting to life now that he can see? PAW will provide training to support his adopter.  Let’s help Chuck see how beautiful life can be—with you by his side. ##2331889##
