Story
Hi everyone, I’m Winney! I’m a 13-year-old, 14-lb Terrier mix looking for someone to give this senior girl a little love and a miracle. I came to PAWS after my owner passed away, and I was left in the home for months before someone stepped in to help. I had been living with Brosnan, but we’ve learned that we can be adopted separately. I’m sweet, silly, and I absolutely love a good belly rub! I enjoy exploring and going for walks, too. I’m crate trained and currently working on my house training after being left alone for so long. One thing that makes me special is that I’m completely blind, or at least my foster believes I am. But honestly, I don’t let it slow me down! Somehow I manage to find my way into all sorts of places, and my foster sometimes has to stop and wonder, “How did you even get there?” I’m also working on getting back to a healthy weight. I have beautiful hair and will be even more adorable after I’m able to get a nice bath and trim. My ears needed quite a bit of medical attention when I first arrived, so grooming had to wait. I’m just a sweet senior girl looking for a quiet, loving place to spend my golden years. Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start October 7, 2026, 11:09 am

Story
Hi there, I’m Otto! I’m a 9-month-old hound pup. I am currently 42 lbs and should mature around 52 lbs. I have lots of cute little spots all over me, which are brown on my legs and black on my body. I came from a shelter in southern Ohio after I was found as a stray with my brothers, Freddy Mercury and Prongs (yes, we have an eclectic group of names). We had been dropped off in a “holler” together. All three of us are adoptable through PAWS now though. I love playing with all doggy friends, including running around with Freddy. I haven’t met a cat yet, but Prongs is good with them and I can be cat tested. I also haven’t met any children yet, but I should be fine with older children (unsure about young children yet). I walk well on leash and just started learning about potty and crate training. Sometimes I get hesitant in new environments that are loud, like when walking near traffic or crowds, so I could use a little more confidence building work. I saw some horses and was initially tentative, but I followed a brave dog friend past them. I went to a pond and jumped right in the water- that was fun. I am an outgoing and happy boy when I’m at home or in quieter places. Hope to meet you soon! Otto  Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start October 7, 2026, 11:09 am

Story
Hey there, I'm Van. I am a 55 pound border collie lab mix, and about a year and a half old. I'm a pretty big guy and still have lots of puppy energy, but I am calming down a bit! I am very sweet and great with everyone. I love kids but because I am big and energetic, I probably shouldn't live with small children. I also love to learn so I would be a great dog for someone wanting to do agility, sports or even running with me. Hurry up and apply for me. I look forward to meeting you! Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start October 7, 2026, 11:09 am

Story
We picked Winnie out as a puppy and brought her home to be a livestock guardian to our outdoor animals, which she has done a great job for just over 3 years. She always wants to be doing a job or interacting with us like a big puppy. She's extremely sweet and loves to cuddle, and would definitely be a lap dog if given the opportunity. She is good with our 9 and 6 year olds and has never attacked or been aggressive with anyone. She has 5 acres currently to explore and will not have this much land when we move, and we want to find her a good home where she will continue to have the life she has enjoyed so much.We recently had her go through a 21 day training program at Joel Slavens dog lodge, which taught her several commands and amazing leash training.

Story
I’m Ziggy, a 7 year old heeler/terrier mix and would really like a dog buddy to play with! I weigh 75 pounds and don’t know my size, so when I get excited, I may be a bit sturdy for small dogs or young kids. I really like fetching tennis balls, playing tug-o-war and being around people. I know some commands like sit, shake, down, and would love to learn more. I’m easily bribe-able with treats! When I’m done playing, I like to be a couch potato and will snuggle next to you. I do all my business outside and never had an accident in the house. I don’t like the crate or being confined, but I am trustworthy enough to be left out while my humans aren’t home. I also like car rides and will hop right in. The dogtor did a checkup and said everything looks good so I’m ready to meet my furever family!  Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start October 7, 2026, 11:09 am

Story
Penny was born on a farm in Elgin, TX where her owner privately purchased her as a puppy in Austin, TX, where she lived until 2022 prior to moving to Columbus, OH due to her owner's job. Penny is eight years old and thought to be a rat terrier mix. She has full medical information available through PAZ - East Veterinary in Austin, TX and Upper Arlington Veterinary Hospital in Columbus, OH. She is up to date on all of her vaccinations and has no known health problems. Penny has always had some thinner hair on her back, but veterinarians have confirmed it is alopecia that is not cause for medical concern. Penny loves the dog park and to play outside. She likes to play with the frisbee and go on walks. Penny will be a wonderful companion for someone. Her current home has a newborn baby and the parents are struggling to meet the financial and physical demands of a home with pets and the newborn.
