Story
Thor here is an adorable rat terrier with a full tri coat. He is high energy and but loves to cuddle. Favorite pastime is running on the beach. He was given to me by a local where I live in grays harborI am not happy about giving thor up for rehoming, but I am moving in with my girlfriend and I am starting a new job that would end in him being in a kennel for most of the day. And there are a myriad of reasons why I need to find him a new home. He is too high energy to be around toddlers, and it would end with him being in a kennel for most of the day and that is not the life I want for him. He does come with large kennel. He is not aggressive in any way and he has never bitten anyone. Please help me to find a good home for him, i'm just looking for someone to take him into a home where he can run around and have freedom outside i can't offer.

Story
My boy is an 8-month-old large mixed-breed dog who will turn 1 on Halloween! 🎃 I adopted him from a shelter during a difficult time in my life, and he has been such a special part of my life ever since. He is vaccinated, neutered, potty trained, and knows sit, lay down, and paw. He is very silly, goofy, playful, and full of energy, so he would do best with an active person or family who can keep up with him and give him plenty of exercise and attention. Due to a personal situation, I’m no longer able to care for him the way he deserves, so I’m looking for a loving forever home where he will be treated like family. 💞

Story
Thor is a ten year old 70 pound sheepdog poodle mix. I got him from a breeder but can no longer care for him as I am moving to a non dog friendly place. Ideally I would like him to be adopted out by November 2026. Despite his age, he is very rambunctious, playful, and social. He has bad separation anxiety and is medicated for it; but without it he is loud and potentially destructive when left alone. His ideal home would be someone without a very busy schedule who can attend to his demanding exercise and social needs. Due to his breed, he is clingy and requires lots of mental and physical exercise.

Story
Blaze is a sweet senior boy with a gentle heart and an easygoing personality. From the moment he arrived, he has been friendly with everyone he meets, winning people over with his affectionate nature and loving spirit.Blaze recently had a medical evaluation after we noticed some stiffness and limping in his back end. Our veterinarian found significant arthritis in his hips along with old injuries to both of his cruciate (knee) ligaments. He is starting pain management, which he will likely need long-term, and his future family will need to help him maintain a quieter lifestyle to protect his joints. This means no rough play, wrestling, excessive running, or high-impact activities — Blaze is looking for a home where he can enjoy gentle walks, cozy naps, and plenty of love.Despite everything his body has been through, Blaze continues to be the happy, loving dog everyone adores. He enjoys being around his people, soaking up attention, and simply being part of a family. His days of wild adventures may be behind him, but his heart is still full of love to give.Blaze is searching for a forever home that will see the wonderful dog he is and give him the comfort, patience, and care he deserves. In return, he promises to be the loyal, sweet companion who is happiest just being by your side.Please apply to adopt at: http://www.pawsgh.org

Story
Meet Raymond — Still the King of Chill 👑☀️Raymond is an almost 11-year-old gentleman who was found as a stray, leaving his past a bit of a mystery. What we do know is this: Raymond has fully embraced the art of taking life slow and savoring the simple joys—preferably from a warm, sunny spot.A true senior soul, Raymond appreciates the little things: a cozy place to lounge, leisurely strolls, and a good scratch behind the ears. Rainy days aren’t his favorite (they interfere with his sunbathing schedule), and he prefers to be the only animal in his kingdom. While he’s not much for cuddling, he truly enjoys being petted and treated with the respect a king deserves.Raymond has been in our care for 394 days and counting, patiently waiting for his forever home. Despite the time that’s passed, he remains sweet, mellow, and quietly hopeful that someone will see him for the gentle companion he is.Please note: Raymond does have daily medications that will need to be continued—but he takes them like a champ.If your perfect day includes soaking up the sunshine with a calm, loyal companion by your side, Raymond is ready to rule your heart—one sunbeam at a time.Please apply to adopt at: http://www.pawsgh.org

Story
Bug’s story began a few years ago when he was abandoned at our facility in the middle of the night alongside his mom, Ruby. Unsure of the world and lacking early stability, Bug grew up learning to navigate life at his own pace. In time, he and Ruby were adopted together, and we were hopeful they had found their forever home.Due to unfortunate and uncontrollable circumstances, Bug has now returned to us and is once again looking for a patient and understanding home.Bug is a gentle, sensitive boy who is still learning to feel confident in new situations. While he may be unsure at first, he has made incredible progress and continues to grow braver every day. He no longer shuts down the way he once did—instead, he approaches new people with curiosity, slowly working up the courage to come over and offer a few cautious sniffs.He does best when he’s allowed to move at his own pace and thrives in calm, low-pressure environments. Bug has formed bonds with staff and volunteers over time and, once he feels safe, shows his incredibly sweet and soft personality. Treats are one of the best ways to earn his trust and help him open up.Bug is still very early in his confidence-building journey and is not yet ready for busy outings or fast-paced experiences. He continues to take things one step at a time, learning that the world can be safe and predictable when approached gently.Bug shares a very special bond with Ruby, and we would love for them to find a home together again. She brings him comfort and helps him feel more secure as he continues to grow.Bug is a tender, soulful boy who just needs time, patience, and understanding. For the right person, watching him learn to trust will be an incredibly meaningful experience.Please apply to adopt at: http://www.pawsgh.org
