Story
The reason we HAVE to re-home Roy is because he is un-neutered and has begun peeing/marking our home as his territory, because we have an un-spayed female pitbull (Cuddles). We are a disabled couple on a fixed income and would not be able to afford to take care of him, her, and her puppies, if Cuddles got pregnant. Also, we are not able to afford to fix both pups. We love both of them: they enjoy each other, but we were only supposed to be fostering Royale until his huparents were in a place that accepted large-sized dogs. Recently, they have fallen on hard times and had to re-home him or get evicted. Royale is gentle and loving and good with kids, even special-needs children. My wife is a paraplegic with related health issues. I am a TBI/stroke survivor with physical health issues, including a recent total left hip replacement, broken left foot, as well as neck, shoulder, and spinal issues, etc. It saddens us to have to do this, but we are left with little choice.

Story
Hi! This is Nova. She's a beautiful Alaskan Malamute. At almost 2 years old and around 60 pounds, she's a ball of energy. We love her dearly but, need to re-home her because she keeps escaping from our fenced yard and killing the neighbors chickens. We're afraid that someone will end up killing her 🥹. She's spayed and microchipped. Nova would do best as the only dog with an active family who can provide daily exercise.

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.

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 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? Homer is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and available for adoption through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.  ##2662160##

Story
Meet Skip Looking for a loyal love this Valentine’s Day? Let us introduce you to Skip, a handsome 1 year, 7 month old black and tan hound from West Virginia who’s ready to steal your heart forever. Not much is known about Skip’s start in life, but he’s blossomed into the ultimate cuddle companion. This smooth, short haired, low shed sweetheart will happily curl up in your lap, give kisses, and gently “boosh” your leg when he wants affection. He’s truly a professional couch stealer weighing in at 52 pounds. When he’s not cuddling, Skip loves to zoom, wrestle, and tug with his canine brother. He’s great at knowing when it’s time to slow down and rest—usually with a pile of toys on the couch and the cutest little snores. His favorites include squeaky stuffies, which he proudly gathers before nap time. It is highly encouraged that his new home have a playful canine ready to welcome him.       Skip is working hard on his training: He continues to succeed with potty training with treats for positive behavior. He’s learning crate training (with a few “ahwoooos” when he misses you) when his foster parents are in the shower or out running errands.  He’s practicing sit, lay, and learning his name.   This scent-loving boy follows his nose wherever it leads, especially when he’s head deep in the snow, so don’t leave treats in your pockets, he will find them! He sleeps through the night and handles grooming like a champ, barely noticing nail trims, ear cleanings, and even allowing teeth brushing. Skip does best when fed separately and without high-value bones or antlers around other dogs, as he’s a bit too enthusiastic about partaking in… everyone’s food. His cat compatibility is currently unknown. Most importantly, Skip is full of love. He bonds beautifully with his foster mom, dad, and his 11-year-old human brother, proving he’s ready to be someone’s loyal Valentine for life. So if you’re ready to let this “masked bandit” sneak into your heart and leave paw prints all over it, Skip is waiting to meet you. Adopt Skip and make this Valentine’s Day the start of your forever love story. Skip is neutered, micropchipped, up to date on all of his vaccines, has had flea/tick heartworm and dewormer preventatives and is ready for his forever home. Skip will be available for adoption on or after February 15th at www.pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt Paws Across Pittsburgh KL#16182 ##2655251##
