Story
Hi, my name is Dug. I am a lab mix somewhere around a year and a half old. I can best be described as very puppylike, and extremely affectionate. My likes include whatever you are eating or have in your hands, and my life goals are to get as many belly rubs and treats as I can.Like most rescue pups, I did not get off to a great start. I had people who wanted me but did not take good care of me. It has left me a little shy. My foster parents have been working with me to get me acclimated to the world and it has helped, but please understand, while I know I will love you, I am going to bark at you for a bit. But, I warm up pretty fast and then we can get to the belly rubbing part.What I need is a family preferably without small children. Little hands coming at me kind of freak me out. My foster brother and sister have helped me to gain confidence and learn some manners, so I would love to end up in a house with another dog. Mostly, I need good parents with experience raising dogs.It is my hope that you will want to get to know me. If so, I can promise you this, I will steal your heart and most likely a few of your socks.

Story
Hi, I’m Hunter! I’m an 8-year-old male miniature poodle and weigh around 18 lbs.I spent my first 7 years living in an Amish puppy mill and was dropped off at a vet clinic when I was too old for breeding.I live with other dogs of all sizes (20-100 lbs) and do fine with them. I can be a little bossy at times, so would do best with other dogs who tolerate that. I would probably be calmer in a house with one or two calm dogs (right now I live with puppies and they can get me overexcited). I might be ok as an only dog too. If someone is interested in me, we could do a foster-to-adopt program to check it out. I would probably be fine with cats and can test if you need. I shouldn’t be in a home with children.I seem to be more comfortable around female adults and follow them around for attention. I have to trust you first and then I will want petted!I am crate trained and happily eat my meals in the crate. I should wear belly bands in the home as I work on housetraining. I am spry and healthy but don’t have much of an exercise requirement. It might be easier if you had a fenced yard but that is not currently a requirement. As far as toys, I love playing with my ball and like to paw at it and roll it around.Hope to find my family soon!

Meet Clara – World Champion of the Head Tilt! ??Hi there, I’m Clara, a 7-month-old terrier mix with a heart full of love and a head that just can’t stop tilting when I hear something interesting. If you’ve ever wanted a pup who listens intently and looks adorable doing it—I’m your girl.I’m a friendly, affectionate adventurer who’s always up for some snuggles after a good exploration session. I love being around people, but I’m also okay hanging out on my own when needed. That said, nothing beats a cozy cuddle!I’ve got a bit of spunk and sass, which makes life with me fun and full of personality. If you’re looking for a pup with a little zip in her step and some quirky charm, we might just be a perfect match.When I came to PAWS, I was underweight, but thanks to lots of care (and food!), I’m now a much healthier, happier girl. I love playing with my sister Violet and my buddy Pork Chop. I get along well with other dogs, though I prefer to eat in a crate or separate space—except when it comes to Violet, who I somehow let steal all my food.I haven’t met any kids yet, but I think I’d like them! Sometimes I “cob” on people (a gentle nibble like I’m eating corn on the cob)—it’s just my silly way of showing affection.I’ve done well being crated for a few hours, and I’m making great progress with housetraining. Like any young pup, I’ll need someone who can stick to a routine and help me keep up the good work.I walk nicely on leash and enjoy car rides. I’ve even met a three-legged cat (I was more interested in snacks than chasing it!). I did bark but then back away when it came toward me, so if you have a cat, I’m open to further testing.If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky, head-tilting cuddle bug to join your family, I hope you’ll come meet me!Love,Clara

Story
Hi, I`m Chili! I am a middle-aged puggle mix (maybe 8 years old?). I am about 23 lbs, so I am a little guy.I spent my life living outdoors in a kennel with other small dogs. I should be adopted to a home with another dog, ideally a confident and friendly dog, so that I can continue to gain confidence. I live with other dogs from 20 lbs to 100 lbs and do well with all.I am a happy boy and wag my tail and bounce around, but I am lower energy in general. I will be content to lay on a dog bed or couch most of the day. I am still learning that people aren`t so scary, so I need a patient adopter who will keep working with me and give me time and space to come out of my shell.I haven`t met any kids but kids would need to understand that I won`t want to cuddle- I will probably run and hide if there is too much action or someone approaches too quickly. I do just fine with cats. I currently need a fenced yard as I am working on leash walking, but will easily go in and out of the house to get to the fenced yard. I am not destructive when left home outside of a crate unsupervised, but I have traveled in the car in a crate. If you are looking for a chill buddy to work with and help build confidence, that`s me! Hope to find my forever home soon!

Hey there I’m Van. I am a 55 pound border collie lab mix, and about a year and a half old. I’ma 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!
