Story
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 he needs 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 proper care.Melly is gun shy and CANNOT be used as a hunting dog.PLEASE SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY!

Story
You stopped scrolling because of the ears, right?   We don't blame you!  Bo and Luke, two 13 week old Lab/Hound mix brothers came fully equipped with sensational, wind catching, flap in the breeze ears and personalities to match.  They play hard and then turn into the weighted blankets that you didn't know you needed.    These brothers are around twenty five pounds, neutered, and up to date on age appropriate vaccinations.    Luke is a social, adventure seeking pup.   He is curious, confident, and always on the move, exploring the world nose first like he has somewhere important to be.   He's a quick learner who already know touch, sit, and down and his love of food makes trianing and potty routines easier.  He walks nicely on a leash, plays enthusiastically with other dogs and loves to run and explore.   And when the fun is over? Luke crashes hard!  More than once he's rolled right off the couch and kept sleeping, which pretty much sums up his carefree personality.    Luke is still building confidence with crate time, especially when separated from his brother.  He will need an adopter who is commited to seeing him through the crate training process.  He is well on his way, improving everyday with routine and consistency.    Luke would thrive in a home looking for an active puppy and committed to training because this guy loves to learn.  He currently lives with children and other dogs, and reads everyones cues instinctively.  Luke hasn't been explosed to cats yet.    Luke  is available for adoption on 5/3/2026, through Paws Across Pittsburgh, KL 16182, so apply today to add this floppy eared charmer to your family! ##2721397##

Story
Meet Gypsy – Your New Best Friend! Gypsy is a lovable 2-year-old 17lb Beagle mix with a heart full of love and a personality that will quickly steal yours. This sweet girl is happiest when she’s close to her person, whether that means snuggling on the couch or following you from room to room. She’s doing great with house manners and will let you know when she needs to go out by heading to the door, though she has occasionally used pee pads. Crate training is still a work in progress, but with a little patience (and a few tasty treat bribes), she’s well on her way to mastering it. Gypsy enjoys the simple joys in life, especially when the weather is nice and it’s time for multiple daily walks. She also has a playful side and will bring you her favorite toy when she’s ready for some fun. Once she’s had her playtime, she’s perfectly content to settle down and relax. She already knows several commands like “come,” “sit,” “no,” and “outside,” and is currently working on “down” and “shake.” With continued guidance, Gypsy has so much potential to learn and grow. Gypsy is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and microchipped. She will be ready for adoption on or after 4/26/26 through Paws Across Pittsburgh. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will shower you with kisses, cuddles, and unconditional love, Gypsy is your girl. She’s ready to find her forever home and become someone’s perfect little sidekick. Apply to adopt Gypsy at: www.pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adoptPaws Across Pittsburgh KL#16182 ##2715484##

Story
Meet Buddy – Your Future Shadow & Sunshine Seeker Buddy is a 2-year-old beagle with the cutest short stack, lowrider build and big, floppy ears (mostly decorative… for now ). He’s still learning that the world is a safe place, so what he really needs is a patient, understanding family who will give him the time and space to come out of his shell. Buddy may be shy at first, but once he trusts you, he’ll greet you with a wagging tail like you’ve been gone forever—even if it’s only been a few minutes. He didn’t know much at first about the joys of being a happy indoor dog, but now he is following around his foster dog sister - looking for guidance and learning from her. Watching him slowly open up has been incredibly rewarding for his foster pawrents.  Buddy loves tossing his toys and playing outside. Evening zoomies become a normal part of the routine once he settles in. He enjoys laying in the sunshine, walks well on a leash, and will alert you if any squirrels are around. (He is a beagle!) Buddy is crate trained even though he complains about it briefly. He is doing great with house training as long as he has a consistent routine. A calm home would be a great fit! If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive pup to grow with, Buddy might just be your guy   ##2706965##

Story
Barbie is a tender-hearted, deeply loving girl who forms strong, meaningful bonds once she feels safe. When she trusts you, she will love you with her whole heart. Like many sensitive dogs, she needs time, patience, and a calm environment to fully come out of her shell—but she is so worth the wait. Barbie hasn’t had the easiest start in life and appears to have spent much of it outdoors. She came into rescue after needing surgery due to complications while giving birth to her puppies. Despite everything she’s been through, her capacity for love is truly special. Because of her past, Barbie does experience separation anxiety. She will do best in a home where someone is around most of the time—such as a work-from-home household or one with a flexible schedule. When left alone, she’ll benefit from enrichment like Kongs, Nylabones, and puzzle toys to help her feel secure and occupied. A predictable routine, along with positive reinforcement, will help her continue to build confidence and settle into home life. Barbie tends to be more comfortable with women and may be fearful of men at first, likely due to limited exposure rather than true dislike. With patience and gentle, positive experiences, she has the potential to grow more comfortable over time. She would do best in a home without small children, as she can get a bit enthusiastic and doesn’t always realize her own strength when excited. Barbie also has a high prey drive, so a home without cats is important. She may be happiest as your one and only pet, though she has done well around pot-bellied pigs, showing she can coexist with the right companions. Barbie is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She is currently working on crate and potty training and continues to make progress each day. Barbie isn’t the right fit for every home—but for the right person, someone patient, understanding, and committed to giving her the stability she’s never had, she will be an incredibly loyal, loving, and rewarding companion. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and is available for adoption now through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.  ##2642993##
