Story
Marshmallow was adopted as a young puppy over 9 years ago along with Elsa. As seniors, the girls find themselves needing a home again as their family dynamics have changed. Their human dad passed, requiring more long work hours away from home and leaving them alone more than is fair. In an effort to reduce the transitions they must go through, we’re hoping a forever family will be out there so that they can go from current home to forever home. Ideally they could go together, but we recognize this may not be possible and would also consider loving single homes for each dog. If they cannot live with one another, their preference is to be only dogs in the home. Interested in adoption? The first step is an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Our rescue adopts to Wisconsin and Illinois. Our requirements for Illinois applications are: excellent vet history, no children under 7 in the home, and an owned home. Wisconsin does not have these requirements, though we will not consider applications where pets are missing core veterinary care. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Addy is living in a foster home in Madison, Wisconsin. Addy is a loving, gentle girl who was surrendered through no fault of her own after changes in her previous household, including the arrival of a newborn, made it difficult for her to get the attention and structure she needed. Now thriving in her foster home, Addy enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to play, cuddle, and relax with a favorite toy or bone. She’s settling beautifully into her new routine, appreciating consistent potty breaks, playtime, and all the affection she’s been receiving. She will make someone a wonderful companion and is ready for a fresh start. Paddy's Paws has a vet appointment set up for her where she will be spayed and get up to date on all vaccinations.

Story
Dime is living in a foster home near Milton, Wisconsin. Dime is a 10 year old American Water Spaniel who was surrendered to our rescue. Sweet and sensitive, this fella has had a few transitions in his life and is ready for a retirement home to be cherished and loved. Dime received the Paddy’s Paws premier vet package with a full work up. He’s currently about 20 pounds overweight at 61 pounds, so we wanted to ensure he doesn’t have any underlying conditions that needed to be addressed. Thankfully, his tests all came back normal so he just needs a healthy diet and exercise to feel and look his best! He’s only just arrived to foster but he is said to be housetrained, good with dogs of all sizes, playful, and loyal. Interested in adoption?
