Story
Boomer was adopted by a family with small children at the time. They also had cats. He lived a good life with them for approximately 5 years. He will be 6 soon. Unfortunately, the family split up and were unable to take care of Boomer. We took Boomer under these circumstances so we can find him a good home. We do not have the room for him sadly , He needs a nice fenced in yard to run and play in. He loves to run. He can get a little food agressive , but has never bitten anyone. He is a coonhound so he sure lets you know that by his howl. If we could keep him we definitely. would. It wouldn't be fair to him if we did . We are only asking a rehoming fee so we can assure he goes to a good home . If you are interested reach out!! He is the biggest most loving dog. And loves to cuddle. The price can be in negotiated. He needs a nice home 🙏❤️

Story
Melly has been a special addition to our family for about 6 years. Due to unforeseen family health circumstances, we’re heartbroken to have to rehome him. Melly is just a huge love bug. He adores cuddling in warm, cozy spots and wants all the affection you can give. He’s an old soul who thrives on close companionship. Melly is wonderful with children, but would likely prefer a calm, peaceful household at this stage of life. He likes to stay within eyesight and will experience separation anxiety when left alone. Preferably someone who works from home and can take him everywhere, as he cannot be left alone due to his separation anxiety. Another dog in the home would likely keep him calm and give companionship for the potential of leaving him. He’s fully house- and crate-trained. Melly has a history of Lyme disease, so his joints occasionally bother him—especially during cold or rainy weather—but he manages well with love and care. Melly is gun shy and CANNOT be used as a hunting dog.

Meet Ivan Your Loyal, Lean-Into-You Best Friend Ivan is a stunning ~3-year-old, 65 lb sweetheart who we believe is a Lab / Carolina Dog / Pittie mix — but whatever his breed blend may be, his heart is 100% devoted companion. This handsome boy is fully ready for his forever home: Housetrained Cratetrained Neutered Up to date on vaccines Why You’ll Love Ivan Ivan LOVES people. Truly. He lives for head scratches, gentle pets, and simply being near his human. He has this adorable way of leaning into you - somehow both giving and asking for love at the same time. It’s his signature move, and it will absolutely melt you. When you’re home, he’s happiest by your side... whether you’re cooking, gardening, reading, working, watching TV, or soaking up the sun. If you have a sectional couch, even better! Ivan claims the chaise while you take the main seat. Fair is fair. Favorite Things Indoor: Bones, bones, and more bones! He also enjoys a good Kong and has recently elevated his napping game to professional levels. Outdoor: Zoomies in the yard and “helping” with gardening duties. Home Requirements Ivan would like to be your one and only pet — no other dogs, and definitely no cats (he thinks cats are snacks or fun chase toys, and we disagree with that life choice). Because of his size and love of outdoor zoomies, Ivan needs: A single-family homeA fenced-in yard in the suburbs or a somewhat rural setting with an open field Older kids are welcome! Ivan can get excited and may jump when he’s happy, so he’s best suited for a home without very young children. He’s currently learning that “sit calmly = happy humans + treatos,” and he’s making progress. Continued training will help him shine. Bonus: Ivan comes with two professional training sessions to help set him and his new family up for success! Ivan is a boy with a heart of gold who will love you beyond measure. He deserves a patient, loving human who will give him structure, guidance, head kisses (his favorite), and all the affection he so freely gives in return. We know his home is out there, even if it's been taking a long time. If you’re ready for a loyal shadow, a couch companion, and a best friend who leans in close, Ivan is ready for you. Apply today through Paws Across Pittsburgh (KL 16182) and give this sweet boy the forever home he’s been waiting for. ##2409090##

Story
Meet Johanna — She's ready for her next chapter! Johanna is a beautiful medium-sized mixed breed weighing 42 pounds and just over a year old. She’s a unique blend — about 52% Pit mix, mixed with a bit of supermutt and Husky — giving her the perfect combination of strength, intelligence, and charm. With her striking husky-blue eyes and soft brindle coat, she’s absolutely stunning — and even more breathtaking in person. Johanna is wonderfully social and gets along great with dogs, people, and children alike. She does have a slightly rough-and-tumble play style, so she’d do best with canine friends who enjoy an energetic romp. While she’d love a furry playmate, she’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one-and-only. A true people-lover, Johanna is eager to please and happiest when she’s close to her humans. She’ll gently rest her head in your lap or curl up beside you for cozy movie nights. Her favorite pastime? Fetch! Johanna has impressive catching skills and can snag just about anything you toss her way. With a moderate energy level, she thrives on daily exercise and playtime to keep her mind and body engaged. Johanna walks nicely on leash, is housebroken, and is currently learning her basic commands. She already knows "sit" and "lay down". She sleeps quietly in her crate overnight. While the crate isn’t her favorite place, she settles calmly with a little reassurance. She has mild anxiety — she wasn’t a fan of a recent thunderstorm (but who is?) — and would do best in a home that offers patience, love, and consistency. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts playful and affectionate, Johanna might just be your perfect match. Johanna is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations and is available for adoption now through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15144 KL#16182. ##2567893##

Story
Meet Homer, Your Trail-ready Adventurer & Couch Companion.  Homer is affectionate, kind, and easy-going. This big-hearted dog makes everything feel a little simpler. Through no fault of his own, Homer is looking for a new forever home after his owner became ill and could no longer care for him. His sister dog is off finding her own new home, and he misses her. Homer's sad and a little confused by it all, and he may be vocal while he settles in. He's claimed a life-sized stuffie as his comfort companion, and that has helped. He was recently estimated at 10 years old and weighs 63lbs. This handsome, mature gentleman has a calm nature. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and fits right into a pack. In foster care, he's living with two dogs, one meek and one intensely alpha, and navigates both with total ease. No posturing, no drama. He enjoys both human and canine company and is just as content hanging out with you as he is going for a walk. He's happy to curl up at your feet on a work-from-home day and cuddle up on the couch to wind down in the evening. Homer loves his daily strolls and can handle longer hikes with ease. He’s great on leash, enjoys car rides, and would be thrilled to join you on road trips and adventures. He takes in the chaos around him — kids, bikes, bouncy dogs— with the quiet confidence of a dog who has seen things and isn't rattled by much. At the end of the day, he settles in beautifully and sleeps comfortably in his crate. He’s housetrained, well mannered, and easy to live with. He recently spent time with a 5-year-old child who played all over him. He was gentle and patient the whole time. Fair warning: counter surfing is his one vice. He's sneaky like that. He is not a fan of cats, but he is very dog-friendly. Watch video of Homer playing with a new friend: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1187400010137023 Give Homer a steady home and a good walk, and he will be yours completely. He's ready. Are you? He's also eligible for our Senior for Senior Program. Homer is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and available for adoption through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.  ##2662160##

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 4 mos

Story
Barbie is a tender-hearted, deeply loving pup who forms strong bonds once she feels safe and secure. She will love her person with her whole heart, but she needs time and patience to open up in a new environment. Barbie does best with consistency, calm guidance, and a home that understands she is sensitive and still learning to trust. This sweet girl has had a rough start to life and it appears she lived out doors. Barbi e came into rescue when she needed surgery due to trouble giving birth to her puppies.  Barbie does experience separation anxiety, so she will thrive in a home where someone works from home or is not gone for long hours. When her person is away, she will need appropriate outlets such as Nylabones, Kongs, and enrichment or puzzle toys to help her stay calm and occupied. Metal feeding bowls will be a must and a predictable routine and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping her continue to build confidence. She tends to prefer women and appears fearful of men; however, this is likely due to very limited exposure rather than true intolerance. With time, patience, and positive experiences, this may improve. Barbie would do best in a home without small children, as she can be rough and rowdy when excited and may not always realize her own strength. Barbie has a high prey drive and should not live with cats. She may also not be a good fit for homes with small dogs, as she showed a bit too much interest in a smaller dog in her foster home. She has, however, done well around pot-bellied pigs, showing that she can coexist successfully with the right animal companions. Barbie is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped and is working on both crate training and potty training.She is not a “one-size-fits-all” dog, but for the right adopter—someone patient, understanding, and ready to provide a stable, loving home—Barbie will be an incredibly devoted and rewarding companion. ##2642993##
