Story
Q is a fantastic boy, I got him at 8 weeks old and he is the sweetest dude with lots of energy and love to give. He is not crate trained and I believe having taken him with me to work for the first 6 months of having him created some pretty bad speration anxiety. I cannot take him to work anymore and he does not do well being left home alone. I have roommates and people living above me and he constantly whines and cries not only if left alone, but if I'm gone and he's being watched by my roommates. He screams all night. Along with being extremely reactive to car doors and voices outside the home. We worked incredibly hard to not react to dogs/people on walks but he regressed incredibly and I'm at a loss with what to do. He needs someone with more experience and a better homestead. He's definitely got hound in him and is a working dog. I'm sending him to daycare 5 days a week at this point and can't afford a trainer because of that. I love him so much but he would be happier elsewhere.

Story
I Took Raya in when my friend told me that this girl , she knew was going to just drop her off in the middle of nowhere because she want o keep her anymore. Raya is approximately 4 years old. She has three legs due to being allowed to be off leash and not being watched and got hit by a car. She was being neglected, starved, and kept in a cage.All day. She definitely has anxiety about being left alone. I was told she lived with cats and other dogs, but shes very reactive.When she sees them and has a very aggressive bark. I dont think that she is actually hurt any other animals. But she definitely doesnt know her own strength. I would say that if youre planning to adopt her, dont have small children, shes okay with my daughter, but she just doesnt know her own strength. She loves car rides

Story
"Hi there! I’m Rasmus – and I’m ready to meet my forever family! I am 1 year old, a Feist (type of terrier) mix, around 30 pounds, full of energy, and your classic playful puppy! Life is all about fun for me—chasing toys, playing tug-of-war, and zooming around the yard with my doggy friends. I'm currently living with my foster mom, dad and their 3-year-old boy who I adore! We play together all the time—he throws the ball, I fetch it (most of the time), and we both giggle (well, he giggles, I wag). I’d absolutely love a home where I can have both two-legged and four-legged buddies to play with. Kids? Yes please! Other dogs? Even better! I'm a social pup who thrives on companionship, fun, and belly rubs. I’ve got lots of love to give, a tail that never stops wagging, and a heart full of puppy joy. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, loving pup to grow up with your family, I just might be your perfect match. Love, Ras" Ras is a Louisiana rescue pup looking for a new life up North. Ras is crate trained and doing well with house training and leash walking. His photos just don't capture his sweetness. Please check out his videos to see Ras in action being adorable. Ras' photo album with the sweetest videos of him with a toddler: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cWTeKsvq4MyLFn8b7 Ras is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, 4DX negative for heartworm and tick borne diseases, and current on heartworm/flea/tick prevention and deworming. All this sweet little boy needs is a home! PAWS of Northeast Louisiana was formed in 2003. We are a small foster-based rescue and have been sending our special Southern pets to fabulous Northern homes since 2010. We work with a wonderful transport who has stops in many Northeastern / New England states: VT, CT, NY, NJ, PA, etc.
