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 March 8, 2026, 11:18 pm

Story
I took Finley from his abuser directly when he was 8 months old. He is now almost 4 and is a great pet. He is trained and well behaved. He loves baths and blow drys, he is crate trained and doesn’t mind being left alone for quite some time (I work long shifts), and he’s not destructive, but might get in trash. He is potty trained, up to date on everything, and loves car rides and dog parks. He matches your life style and adapts. If you’re a busy person, that’s okay, he can chill at home. If you’re active, perfect, he’ll come too! He can be just as relaxed or energetic as you need him to be. He is dog friendly and is not food/toy aggressive at all. He has issues with getting his nails trimmed, so I have had him sedated before. He is fearful of people and is very shy. He takes a while to warm up to humans, and can be very scared for a while. Once he does warm up, he is a lover and wants to cuddle. He is a great dog and a loving best friend. I am moving and unfortunately he cannot come.

Story
Hi, I’m Mars! I am a friendly boy and I like to be your little shadow. I am a quick learner and doing well on leash walking and potty training. I learned a few tricks like sit, touch, and down. I am working on crate training and meeting new animals because sometimes I bork bork at them, but I am learning to be calm around new friends. I am living with dogs of all sizes and ages and learning how to be a respectable young man. I have a big ol’ head but it’s more rectangular (not rounded like a pittie). I would probably do well in a home with other dogs who tolerate puppies, and any humans including kids. I haven’t met a cat yet- bet I will bork at them at first and then probably be fine. I hope to meet my new family soon! More info about Mars: DOB: 2/7/26 estimated Weight: 26 lbs, puppy weight calculator says he should mature around 90 Breed: mom was a lab or lab mix (photos at end), dad is unknown but maybe a hound/husky mix (his brother, Snickers, has a blue eye and they will have medium length fur).   Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start June 11, 2026, 11:48 am

Story
Hi my name is Zsa zsa! I'm a Morkie! Maltese/Yorkie mix, weight about 16lbs.  My foster mom thinks more Maltese than Yorkie because of my long glamorous hair. I'll need my hair done, darling, from time to time. It's shorter now. I'm wearing my summer hairdo.    Here's what my foster mom knows about me so far:    Housetrained Power walker. Short walks are fine. Professional napper, I’d rather nap than play.  Older kids only. I’ve never been around a small children but I likely would not appreciate them because I like my space.  Probably not a good candidate for other dogs. It might interfere with my beauty sleep. But I'm ok with dogs that respect my boundaries. (Zsa Zsa lives with 3 other dogs with no problems.)    Here's my don't likes:   I dont like being left alone. I like being around my people (Someone who works from home or perhaps retired would be ideal. I used to be left alone for hours in the past) I am doing great in my crate, though, when I’m left home alone.    I may not be ideal for apartment/Condo life. I like to talk at times. But your Amazon and mailman are fine. :)  Zsa Zsa’s foster mom says she is pretty easy to take care of  ❤️ Love's her dogbed and looking outside is her jam.  If your looking for a new best friend, look no further.Zsa zsa just wants to be adored and loved.

Story
Hi, I’m Snickers! I’m a Labrador/Husky/Hound mix pup. I was born this February and am already 26lbs! I am estimated to be a very big boy (maybe even 90lbs according to the predicted dog weight calculator).  I’m in the process of learning all the puppy basics like house and crate training. I already know sit and down My new adopters will need to keep up my training so I grow up to be a confident and happy dog! P.S. I love treats, so those will definitely help me learn!  I can be chill but I am a puppy, after all! My favorite thing is belly rubs and pets! I howl/bark when seeing other dogs but it’s because I want to play with them!  A Good Samaritan saved us after learning my siblings and I were going to be abandoned. A few people chipped in to get us fixed! My brother, Mars, is available for adoption with PAWS! Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start June 11, 2026, 11:48 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 at that 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 out 9 and 5 year old and have never attacked anyone or even seemed like she was going to. 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.
