Story
Meet Mocha, a gentle and curious soul who is eager to discover what it truly means to be a beloved pet. Rescued from a hoarding case, Mocha is learning to embrace love and care, and is ready to experience all the joys of being a dog, with your help! This sweet boy is playful yet quiet, and will need a little extra time and patience to warm up to you. But once he does, Mocha loves to be close, snuggling up and nuzzling your neck. He is learning how to walk on a leash, getting more used to strangers, and learning to go potty outside (pad trained). Mocha is on the lookout for a foster-to-adopt family who can offer him a physical fenced-in yard to explore (as he may be a flight risk due to his shy nature), and perhaps even a furry sibling to help boost his confidence. Children 8 years old or older would be best. He is a friendly and gentle boy who just needs someone to show him what it's like to be a happy, healthy dog. With free dog training included, you'll be able to guide Mocha towards a brighter future and help him leave his uncertain past behind. At around 10 months old, Mocha is a young dog full of potential, ready to embrace all the love and care you can offer. Could you be the one to show him what it's all about? We were told that Mocha was a Dachshund/Catahoula mix, 22 lbs., updated on vaccines, and will be neutered in the near future. To meet Mocha, please fill out our online application for pre-approval. https://www.parpets.org/adoption-application.html

Story
I'm Eve, a wonderful female dog that was lucky to land myself at PAR! I'm a girl who loves to keep busy, but I also know how to relax and entertain myself with a good toy or bone. One of my favorite things is being close to my people and soaking up all the love and attention while laying my head on your lap. I also love to give many kisses! I can be selective with my doggy friends, mostly with females, but I would love to try to meet a new canine BFF! I tend to have a hard play style with other dogs. I am not a fan of cats. I do learn very quickly, listen well, and walk nice on a leash as I'm a smart girl! My ideal family would be: *Active and take me on daily walks or hikes. *Not gone long hours as even though I'm pretty independant I don't like being alone all day. *Take me on car rides as I enjoy going on adventures. *Allow me to sleep on the couch and possibly the bed as I find them very comfy. Eve is a Cattledog mix, approximately 2 years old, weighs approximately 46 lbs., spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on monthly prevention. House and crated trained. If you're looking for a loyal companion who fill your heart with joy, come and meet me! I promise to bring a smile to your face and be the best furry friend you could ask for.

Story
Introducing Tyson, the brave and friendly American Bully who's curious about the world and ready for his second chance! This playful boy found himself lost and in a bit of a pickle, but thanks to the wonderful people at PAR, he's been given a new leash on life and is now looking for his forever home. We are still getting to know this handsome low rider as he seems to have some confidence issues we are working on! Tyson may be a bit unsure around new people at first, but once he warms up, he's a total sweetheart and an absolute goofball! He takes pride in keeping his space clean and enjoys the simple pleasures in life, like playing with his squeaky toys and going for leisurely walks. Tyson is a protective soul and would make a wonderful companion for a family with older teenage children, provided they can give him the time and patience he needs to feel comfortable. Tyson is still working on his social skills with other dogs, so introductions will need to be slow and careful as it appears he has not been socialized properly. He's hoping to find an experienced adopter who understands his unique needs and can help him continue to grow into the amazing companion we know he can be. NO cats please! If you're the patient and the understanding type, Tyson could be the perfect addition to your family! He's eager to find his people and show them just how loving and loyal he can be. Could you be the one to unlock Tyson's full potential? Tyson is believed to be an American Bully, 57 lbs., 2-3 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on monthly prevention. Tyson is also being offered free training with our certified professional dog trainer. If you would like to meet Tyson, please fill out our adoption application for preapproval and we will be happy to set up a meet and greet at your convenience! Thank you to a generous supporter for sponsoring Tyson's adoption fee! https://www.parpets.org/adoption-application.html

Story
Hi I'm Boomer! I just arrived to Paradise this past week and so far all my new friends have been so nice to me! I was a bit nervouse at first but after the first day I realized I was safe and nothing bad was going to happen to me! I've been getting new toys and fun things like frozen stuffed Kongs and lick mats with peanut butter and spray cheese...wow I think I hit the jackpot!I was just neutered on March 26th so I'm still healing and heading to a foster home to relax and heal, but I am on the search for my forever family! I am a nice boy that can be a little shy at first but I open up nicely and love to play and go on walks! I've been very polite with the other dogs at PAR but I will need to meet any canine siblings. I am house and crate trained, know sit, walk nice on a leash, ride nice in the car, and I'm eager to learn more! I was told I come with free training, one of the perks for adopting me. In my previous home I was raised with a child so I can be good with children over 8 years old. Not sure if I like cats as I wasn't exposed to them.Boomer is guessimated to be a Black Mouth Cur or Mastiff mix, he is 6 months old, neutered, up to date on vaccines, microcipped, and on monthly prevention.If interested in meeting Boomer, please fill out an adoption application today to set up a meet and greet. Hurry as this boy is pretty amazing and won't be with us long at all!https://www.parpets.org/adoption-application.html
