Story
Hi, I'm P ersephone !  I was born on May 16 and have lived with my mom , siblings, and my foster family that holds me a lot . My mom is a 60-pound hound mix who came from Kentucky just before I was born. We don't know who my dad is, but we think he may have been a large Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix. I am the smallest of the litter but will likely still be a 60 pound adult.  I'm playful and spunky.    I've been around lots of kids so I love cuddling and taking naps.  Growing up with eight siblings means I'm used to other dogs and since I'm young, I'll likely be okay with cats.   My foster family is helping me experience lots of new sights, sounds, and s mells so I'll grow into a confident, well-rounded dog. I'm still just a baby, so I'm not potty trained yet, but I'm c omfortable in a crate with my siblings and would love to take puppy classes with my forever family since I have everything to learn. I'm ready for my forever home now, so if you're looking for a n active yet cuddly best friend , I hope you'll come meet me!    You can see pictures of us on instagram @GreekGodsPuppies Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start August 3, 2026, 3:02 pm

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 August 3, 2026, 3:02 pm

Story
Noah is a sweet, wiggly, goofy boy but doesn't quite know his size! He is working hard to learn not to jump up and to walk nicely on leash. He is making progress, but he still thinks he is a lap dog! He likes to follow one step behind you at all times so he can 'help' with whatever you're up to!    Since he is still a work in progress,  Noah  should go to a home that is willing to continue working with him on his training. Due to his size and strength, I would recommend a home with kids 10+ years old and no elderly or otherwise fragile people in the home. While I don't think he would intentionally hurt anybody, he's definitely almost pulled me down on leash and almost wiped me out running into me with his zoomies!    Noah 's fur was in rough shape when rescued, so he has a bit of a funny hair cut for now! Thankfully, he is very tolerant of grooming which he will require regularly to maintain her lucious coat! He also behaves very well for the vet!    Noah  also does great with all kinds of dogs! He has met dogs big and small and is always very gentle! While he hasn't met a cat nose to nose, he did see the clinic cat at the vets' office and didn't react to him at all, so I suspect he'd do okay with cats. If applicable to his new home, I am able to cat test prior to adoption.      Noah  spent most of his life outside, so he is still working on learning that when he's inside, he can't just potty whenever and wherever he feels like it! He's learned this for going #2 but sometimes still goes #1 inside. He usually goes to the door if he has to go and usually only potties inside if you miss this cue that he needs to go outside! Because of this,  Noah  is confined whenever he is unsupervised and overnight. He doesn't mess in his confinement area. He does well in his confinement area which is a 5x5 kennel.    While  Noah  was brought in with his sister Destiny, I do not feel that they are bonded and I think they would do just fine if separated. Though if somebody was brave enough to take on both, I don't think they'd mind going together!    Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start August 3, 2026, 3:02 pm

Hi, I’m  Poppy ! I’m a sweet, silly female hound mix around one year old, and I’m ready to find my forever home. I came in as a stray, but am doing great in my foster home—I’m very interested in being someone’s forever home-dog.  I’m a healthy 45 pounds and I’m already mastering basic commands and am great on my gentle-leader for walks. I’m VERY food motivated which my foster parents think is helping me be a fast learner. Right now I'm working hard on bouncing less when excited---I just LOVE to meet new people.  I try my best, so just need a little patience while I keep learning. I’m super playful and love to find toys to carry around and to play with other dogs. My foster parents said that treat motivation, and the fact that I'm smart made potty training really easy and I've got it down perfectly!  I love to take naps in my crate when the humans are gone, and sleep there at night too.   I get along well with other pups and absolutely love meeting new people, but my foster parents don't know about how I am with cats.  I’m the kind of girl who thinks everyone is a potential new best friend.  Since I am full of energy and still learning how to handle it, a home with young children probably would not be best for me right now. If you’re looking for a happy, loving companion who’s eager to learn and ready to be part of your life, I might just be your perfect match. I can’t wait to meet you!   Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start August 3, 2026, 3:02 pm

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 August 3, 2026, 3:02 pm

Story
Hi, I'm A phrodite !  I was born on May 16 and have grown up with my mom , siblings, and my foster family. My mom is a 60-pound brindle hound mix who w as rescued from a field in Kentucky just before I was born. We don't know who my dad is, but we think he may have been a large Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix.  I will   likely grow to around 65-70 pounds, though that's just our best guess. I am a queen at cuddling.  Of course I like to wrestle with my siblings, chase toys and chew on my benebone, but cuddle me like a baby and rub my belly and I'm so content.  I've been held by lots of kids and multiple adults dogs play with me at my foster home, so I'm good with kids and dogs.  I'll likely be good with cats if I meet them when I'm young.   My foster family is helping me experience lots of new sights, sounds, and s mells so I'll grow into a confident, well-rounded dog. I'm still just a baby, so I'm not potty trained yet . I would love to take puppy classes with my forever family since I still have everything to learn . I'm ready for my forever home, so if you're looking for a sweet, gentle, fluffy best friend who loves cuddles as much as playtime, I hope you'll come meet me!   See more videos and pictures on instagram:  @GreekGodsPuppies Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start August 3, 2026, 3:02 pm
