Story
I have had Momma for a little over three years. I adopted her from a rescue. I have had the same cats since adopting her, with the exception of 1 who passed away from old age, and she did absolutely fine with them, until the last several months. She keeps running after them and acting like she wants to hurt them, not in a playful way. I am afraid that she may hurt one of them. I have been putting her in her crate when I leave the house, just in case. She has been checked by the vet, with no health issues. I've done what I can to deter this behavior, but it has done no good. She has had no issues with my other 3 dogs. No issues either at the dog park with any other dogs.

Story
I have to start by saying this is devastating to me to give him up. He has gone everywhere with me his whole life up until this past year. The only reason I'm doing this is my girlfriend and I are moving in together and she is petrified of him. OSIRIS IS A GREAT dog! He does not have accidents! I mean never! I live in a city so I keep him on a runner for his safety but it’s not really needed he just lingers around me but never goes to far. As for the adoption fee that will be waved once I find the right place for him. I’m hoping to some a farm or someone who has a large yard that he can be free in. He is so smart and learns so fast. Also you must have deadbolt locks on your doors because he can open ANY door even round handle ones. He has been around my children his whole life.

Lizzie

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Female, Young
Export, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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.

Cinderella

Scottie, Scottish Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 1 mo
Springdale, PA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cinderella is an 8-year-old, 20-lb Scottish Terrier mix with a gentle soul and the softest eyes. She’s fully housetrained, excellent in a crate, and gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats. This girl is calm, quiet, and incredibly easy to live with. Cinderella is still building her confidence and will thrive in a home with another steady, confident dog to show her the ropes. A securely fenced yard is a must for her—she’s not comfortable on a leash and will likely never be a dog who enjoys going for walks, but she loves exploring the yard and playing outside at her own pace. Indoors, she’s a total cuddlebug who enjoys treats, snuggling on the couch, and even watching TV. She is still nervous about doorways and will need to be carried in and out until she gains more trust in her people. Her future family will need patience, kindness, and a quiet environment to help her continue to blossom. If you have a calm home, a confident canine companion, and a heart ready for a tender little dog who just needs to feel safe, Cinderella may be your perfect match. She’s waiting for someone who believes, like she does, that every timid pup deserves their happily-ever-after. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and will be available for adoption starting 11/16 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.  ##2579567##

Story
Hi there, I’m Cora! I’m a sweet little lady at 10lbs—likely a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix—somewhere between 7–10 years young. I came to Paws Across Pittsburgh expecting puppies, and I’ve been raising my three babies in a loving foster home. They tell me I’ve been an excellent mama, but my pups are getting ready to spread their wings, and now it’s my turn to find a forever family. I’m a gentle, quiet girl who would love a calm home with someone who’s around often. I sleep nicely in my crate at night and relax there when my foster family is out. I can be a bit shy with men and new people at first, but once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal little shadow and very best friend. I get along with other dogs, though my favorite place will always be the warmest spot on your lap. I’m missing a few teeth, so soft food is my preference—but it certainly doesn’t slow me down! I do well with outdoor potty breaks or a puppy pad, and while I’m not much of a barker, I’ll politely let you know when we have a visitor. I’m spayed, dewormed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations—ready to pack my tiny bags and move into my forever home. If you think we might be a perfect match, I’ll be available for adoption 12/17/25 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.  ##2590349##

Story
Meet Athena- a playful and sweet, 1 year old mixed breed dog who is ready for her forever family. Although Athena is 25-30 lbs, she likes to play and be social with other dogs even a little bigger than she is! Athena is crate trained and walks well on a leash. Athena loves car rides too! She likes to chase squirrels and small animals so a home without cats would be best along with a fenced in yard. Athena seems shy at first until she gets to know her surroundings. But once she is comfortable, she is very affectionate and lovable. She follows her human and doggie friends around the house and yard. Athena really enjoys her two bf's at her foster home so a home with another dog (or two!) would be best for Athena's confidence.  She's a smart girl who lets you know when she needs to go outside by going to the door.If you have room in your home for sweet Athena, please fill out an application today! She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations.  Please apply today at pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt. Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA. KL#16182 ##2575958##
