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.February 10, 2026, 6:18 pm

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 February 16, 2026, 9:16 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 February 16, 2026, 9:16 am

Story
Tank is a young, neutered male mixed breed who is searching for a loving and attentive home. With his affectionate nature and happy-go-lucky spirit, Tank thrives on companionship and enjoys being around people who can give him plenty of love and attention. If you’re willing to play fetch with him and give him treats, Tank will be your best friend in no time! Tank is energetic and smart, the perfect combination for someone looking to train a buddy to go on adventures with! Some of his favorite adventures include going on sniffy walks at parks and exploring pet friendly stores such as Lowe’s and Cabela’s. Tank is eager-to-please and very inquisitive, making him quick to learn new things – especially when treats are involved. In his down time, Tank enjoys joining you to watch TV, chewing on his favorite toys (especially if you pet him at the same time!), and cuddling with his humans. Although Tank was not properly socialized or treated well as a young puppy and initially struggled with anxiety, he has made significant progress. He knows his basic commands, walks well on a leash, and is house/potty trained. Additionally, Tank has greatly improved his social skills with other dogs, showing that he is adaptable and capable of learning with an owner who will put in a little time and effort. Taking him to classes with a qualified trainer would help him to reach his full potential. Tank’s foster family would be more than happy to share the training exercises they work on, and keep in touch with his new family! Tank would thrive in a home without very young children or small pets, as he is unaware of his own strength and size. He is best suited for individuals or families seeking an active dog to join them in play and outdoor adventures. If you are looking for a loyal companion who is always ready to explore and have fun, Tank could be the perfect match for you.  Tank is currently being fostered in Richfield, OH through Powellpaws.org and is available to visit at his foster home or PAWS's adoption clinics in Powell, OH. While Tank is a delight to have around, his foster family’s dog is not so fond of sharing her space. To help Tank find his forever home, his foster will pay half of the adoption fee. Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start February 16, 2026, 9:16 am

Story
Hi there, my name is Punkin, and I figured the best way for you to get to know me is to tell you how I like to spend my days. It always starts off with my foster mom getting up far earlier than necessary. But that's okay, while she is busy letting my four-legged foster siblings out I capitalize on some very necessary additional snooze time. I am definitely a "sets more than one alarm type girly" while I wait for my foster mom to come back and give me some extra morning snuggles followed by stretches.  In 2026 I'm trying to focus on my health and wellness. Once I'm up, I run around and play with my foster siblings (including my own son). If you didn't know, I'm a mommy! All my pups have been adopted -- including the one that is lucky enough to live at my foster mama's house forever! After a while, my foster mom tucks me into my own personal bed with a blanket in a crate for you guessed it... more nap time. If I could read, I would for sure spend my crate time reading some true crime stories while my foster mom is gone. Once she is back home she lets everyone back outside while I wait patiently in my crate for more snuggles and stretches. If my foster mom doesn't give me any snuggles than I refuse to come out of my crate. Like I said, I'm prioritizing my health and wellness this year. If my foster mom thinks I'm not gonna get snuggles multiple times a day, then she has another thing coming! At night we play until we drop -- which isn't very long for me. I would much prefer sitting on the couch and staring into my foster mama's soul a mere 3" from her face (which personally I don't think is close enough) while she watches NCIS. Then at night is my favorite part of the day where we get to snuggle up and go back to sleep. My foster mom said I should also mention that I love cats, especially nap time or showering them with kisses! I LOVE to play with other dogs, big/small/old/young - no discrimination here - I even do a great job at sharing toys and food! I also love people, I sometimes get so excited to shake my butt it gets going so fast my whole body wiggles and the girls at the vets office think I'm so cute when I do that. Unfortunately, I have developed some stranger danger and lack of confidence in new places and meeting new dogs. I'm working on it and I'm really trying so hard so when I meet my very own forever family I'll be the most perfect girl ever! Will that be you? Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start February 16, 2026, 9:16 am
