Story
Hi! My name is Mela and I'm a female beagle/chihuahua mix weighing in at 11 pounds.  I'm around 9 years old, and I love to walk, smell the ground, and wag my tail. I love everyone I meet and if you're my person, I would love to snuggle next to you as much as you allow. Otherwise, give me a soft dog bed and I'm happy! My perfect person would be someone home a great deal and loves to have me snuggle next to you! I'm very curious and like to watch everything you do! I get along great with my doggy brothers and sisters and I think I'd get along with cats, if I ever meet one! However, I'd love to be your one and only and get all your attention! I have a few mobility issues, but they mainly keep me from jumping up on things or from just standing for long periods of time. I can handle steps well, can run, and jump down from a couch! My doctor found a mass on my spleen, so I had surgery to have it removed! It was benign, so I'm doing really well! I didn't have a very good dental plan at my last place, so I'm missing quite a few teeth, but I'm still able to eat dry kibble and treats, so all good! I can sleep very nicely in my crate at night, although I wouldn't be sad if you let me stay on your bed! I'm doing really well with my potty training as long as you are paying attention to me! I'd be so grateful to find someone to love me that I will love back a thousand fold.  Is that YOU!? Please come and meet me! Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start Complete an application to get started February 7, 2026, 10:17 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 Complete an application to get started February 7, 2026, 10:17 am

Story
Lucky is a 2½-year-old Pomsky with plenty of personality packed into his medium frame. He’s playful, smart, and loves being the center of attention. Once he decides you’re his person, he’ll follow you everywhere and soak up every bit of affection you’ll give. He’s fully trained and neutered, but don’t let that fool you—he’s got a streak of independence and will sometimes pretend he doesn’t hear you just to prove a point. Loud noises and thunderstorms make him nervous, so he does best somewhere calm and reassuring when the weather turns. Most days, though, he’s his cheerful, charming self—sweet, curious, and a little too aware of how cute he is.Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start Complete an application to get started February 7, 2026, 10:17 am

Story
Meet Boomer -- a 1.5 year old Doodle weighing around 41 pounds! Boomer ended up in the Shelter. He was escaping the yard (not fenced) and was heading to a nearby gas station where he was given snacks.    So this snacking Doodle will require a fenced in yard. Standard fencing please. No 4ft Boomer will require grooming  to keep him looking handsome. Foster mom guessing 4 times a year. Boomer is good with other dogs, cats and kids. He's a little jumpy, but his foster mom is working with him.  Boomer isn't a fan of the crate.  His foster mom has been leaving him out at bed time and he's fine also .He's ok to be left out during the day while she runs errands also.  Boomer is down for cuddles and belly rubs. Boomer is housetrained. He's learning his routine and follows a Lab named Charlie who's showing Boomer the ropes.Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start Complete an application to get started February 7, 2026, 10:17 am

Story
Cien is 7.5 years old and a very loving and goofy dog. He has personality. Cien has grown up in a single dog environment his entire life but has always been around cats and is comfortable around them. Acquired from a breeder south of Columbus, he has been in the same home since he was a puppy and has lived a comfortable life - he likes walks (and will try to guide you) but would do even better with a backyard or open space he can freely run around. We are rehoming Cien due to him struggling to adapt to a multi-dog home after moving in with a partner. He now has two dog sisters but has become obsessive with protecting my girlfriend and tries to defend any territory around her including trying to keep the other dogs away from her. He's just not comfortable in a larger household and feel he would be happier being able to be the sole dog in a home where he can be the protector. He has been fine around kids and strangers, but not sure how he would do living with smaller children.
