Story
Velvet is around 6 months old, 30 pounds of pure cuteness, snuggles, and zest for life. We’re guessing she may be a Border Collie or Husky mix (our girl is quite the little vocalist), but whatever she is, she’s 100% adorable. Don’t let the husky style commentary scare you off because she LOVES playing with other dogs and has done great in multiple playgroups. She’s just a young pup who benefits from guidance from other dogs and she takes correction beautifully. She’s absolutely KILLING IT with housebreaking and sleeps in her crate through the night like a champ. Velvet is still in that puppy stage (yes, the tiny shark teeth phase), so she can be a bit of a chewer, but hand her a bone and she’s good to go! Because of that playful puppy energy, she’d do best in a home with older kiddos and an active family! She is always on the go! She is sweet, social, snuggly, and ready for her forever family. If interested in fostering or adopting Velvet, please fill out an application found at www.allaboutthepawz.com Located in Youngstown, Ohio - must be within an hour or so of Youngstown. *we do not respond to inquires or matches, please fill out an application and we will reach out via email once received*

Remy is a sweet, gentle boy who found himself overlooked in an overcrowded county shelter. Life there was hard on him, and he’s been patiently waiting for someone to finally choose him.

Fiona is looking for a foster or even better, her furever home! Fiona is around 2 years old and made of solid love. She is deaf and absolutely crushing it with hand signals!

Fiona is dog friendly, but because of her hearing deficit, she doesn’t always recognize when other dogs are giving “I’m done” cues. She just wants to go, go, go! She would do best with: • A dog who matches her high energy or • An experienced owner willing to help her learn when playtime is over • She would also be perfectly happy being the queen of the house If interested in adopting or fostering Fiona, please fill out an application found at Allaboutthepawz.com Located in Youngstown, Ohio - must be within an hour from Youngstown
