Story
🐾 Meet Emmett — the little dog with a big need for patience and love 🐾 Emmett has been with I Paw’d It Forward since May 2025 after losing his owner. His whole world changed, and he’s still trying to figure things out. What he needs now isn’t flashy — it’s simple: a calm, understanding home where he can finally feel safe again. At just 12 lbs, this neutered terrier mix is a shy guy who takes time to trust. New people can be a lot for him, and he’s not a fan of being picked up. But give him space, consistency, and a few tasty treats (his absolute favorite!), and you’ll start to see his walls come down. ✨ Emmett’s ideal home: • A confident, friendly dog buddy to show him the ropes • A calm environment with patient humans • Kids 12+ who understand giving him space • Someone willing to let him move at his own pace Emmett isn’t the dog who will run up to greet you on day one — but he is the dog who will quietly steal your heart once he feels safe. Dogs like Emmett don’t need perfect homes… they need committed ones. 💛 If you believe in second chances and the power of patience, Emmett is waiting for you. 📩 Reach out to I Paw’d It Forward to learn more or meet Emmett. https://ipawditforward.org/adoptable-pets #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #ShyDogLove #SecondChanceDog #IPawdItForward

Story
LUNA is one of 7 babies that were left in dire straits when the mom's owner abandoned them. They are a combination of Boxer, Staffy, Lab and Cane Corso. The woman who has rescued them is about to get kicked out of her apartment because this puts her WAY over the limit but she's managed to get them their puppy shots and wormer and fed them even though it's straining her budget. We found a home for several of the pups but this little cutie and one of her sisters are desperate to find new homes. Spays will be included in their adoption fee. They are house trained, but need some leash training, etc. They love people and get excited to see new people. They are chewers as most pups are so learning to be crated when left alone would be to everyone's benefit. If you are interested in meeting this girl please fill out an adoption application and we'll get you connected to her as soon as you are approved. Or, if you are even willing to foster them while they are looking for a new home that would be great too! Their adoption fee will be $250 which as was mentioned included their spays.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application.May 30, 2026, 1:39 pm

Story
MJ is approximately 5 1/2 years old, spayed and weighs around 38 pounds. She is a mixed breed, possible cattle dog/lab mix. She has lived with a family of two younger kids (now aged 6 and 9) since she was nine months old. She is very sweet and playful. She likes to snuggle and does well on car rides. She loves to go for walks, hikes, and play fetch, and will often go on longer runs. She is house trained and likes to sleep in her crate at night. She is able to be on her own for several hours as her current owners work outside the home, and she does not seem to have separation anxiety. She has completed basic obedience training. Mary Jane is a nervous dog when it comes to loud noises (fireworks, thunder) and she takes time to warm up to new people and new dogs. She has gone to other homes for dog sitting, with other dogs present, and has done just fine after taking a few minutes to get comfortable. As the children have gotten older she has begun to show anxiety due to the children's friends coming in and out of the house. She has become territorial (aggressive barking, some jumping) in and near her house which has become a problem due to kids' friends stopping by and a neighborhood park across the street. Once she gets to know the house guests she is usually fine, but it takes time and some active steps to get there. Owners have done several in-home trainer lessons but do not have the time and focus that MJ deserves. She would probably do okay with another dog(s) in the home and actually may enjoy it. She is unknown with cats. Although she has done great with the kids in her current home, a home with no young kids would be ideal unless extra time is spent for her to adjust. Owners would be happy to pay for an in-home private lesson with a dog trainer to help her transition to a new home.Please fill out an application at sccpets.com (at no cost or obligation to you). Her adoption donation is $200.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application.March 7, 2026, 3:28 pm
