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
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.March 8, 2026, 11:18 pm

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.

Story
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 working hard on my basic commands and getting better on a leash every day. I’m very food motivated and working on bouncing less when excited.  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. I am picking up on the cues from the other dogs in my foster home and house training is going GREAT!  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, a home with older children is preferred.   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 April 28, 2026, 9:00 pm

Story
Hi, I’m Chica! I’m a 1.5 year old fluffy little Pomeranian with a big personality in a tiny body! I might be a little shy when we first meet, but give me a minute… I promise I warm up into the best cuddle buddy ever. Once I love you, I really love you like “carry me everywhere and never put me down” kind of love  I LOVE my toys and playing, but I also love being your little shadow. Honestly, your arms are my favorite place to be! Because I’m so small, I’d do best with older kids who know how to be gentle with me. And other dogs? Well… I have opinions I’d really prefer to be your one and only, but I can tolerate other dogs if I have to. I’m crate trained and working hard on my potty training.  If you’re looking for a tiny best friend who will cuddle you, follow you everywhere, and love you forever… I think I might be your girl Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start April 28, 2026, 9:00 pm

Tank

American Staffordshire Terrier

Size

Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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 March 8, 2026, 11:18 pm
