Story
Lizzie is a lively 3-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with the joyful energy of a puppy. She loves the outdoors and especially enjoys running freely in a fenced yard. Lizzie walks well on a leash, rides happily in the car, and adores playing with her toys. She’s smart, eager to please, and sits politely for treats. This sweet girl isn’t a picky eater, sleeps soundly through the night in her crate, and is both microchipped and up-to-date on all vaccines and preventatives. Lizzie still has some playful puppy traits and needs plenty of exercise and continued training to help her grow into her best self. She would thrive with an active family who can match her energy, give her room to run, and provide the structure she needs to blossom into a calmer, well-mannered companion. Lizzie is full of love and potential — she just needs the right forever home to bring out the best in her.

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##

Cosmo is a super soft and loveable 10 week old husky mix with a happy tail! His ears are on their own schedule and haven't decided up or down.
