It breaks my heart to do this… but I need to rehome my beautiful Franklin. I’m moving and simply cannot provide the care and stability that he needs. He’s a lover, has a magical inner child, and is the best snuggler around. Let me know if you need a glorious new best friend ❤️.

Story
Bailey is an absolute sweetheart! She was found as a stray out in the country which means somebody probably left her on the side of the road. She was positive for heartworm but has finished her treatment!! She loves being around people and she loves to play especially tug of rope. She is a talker and very treat motivated. She knows sit and working with her on paw and lay down. Now because of her age she still has the puppy tendencies but she loves going on walks but someone who is patient with her will be able to teach her that chasing cars is not okay. She follows my kids around the yard and plays with them and she loves the snuggles. She is incredibly smart and would make a great family dog. She is an all-around good girl who is just looking for a family to love me. If you think you could be that family, Located in North Texas, Transport fee included

Story
HeroMaleAge: 3 yearsWeight: 65 lbsBreed: Bulldog/Lab MixTrial Adoption Eligible Hey, I’m Hero — though around my foster home I also answer to Sweet Boy, Short King, Hot Dog, and Piggie. I wear them all with pride. I’m about three years old and finally learning how to just be a dog. It’s been a journey, but I’m figuring it out — learning to trust my humans, enjoy structure, and feel safe in my space. I’m fully house trained and crate trained, walk nicely on leash, and honestly? I’m a pretty chill dude. Like, surprisingly chill. I don’t get into things I shouldn’t, I enjoy routines, and I really just want to be part of your world — preferably while holding your hand, licking peanut butter off a spoon, or soaking up morning snuggles. I’ve got a solid list of commands under my belt: sit, come, down, leave it, let’s go, place, and now shake. I thrive with positive reinforcement (and maybe a blueberry or two). I feel safest with gentle structure, clear boundaries, and humans who recognize how smart I am and keep my brain engaged with walks, training, puzzles, and games. Some of my favorite things include watching baseball (from the couch), yoga (yes, really), fenced-in backyards, long walks in any weather, and being near my people. I’m deeply loyal, affectionate, and incredibly bonded to my humans once I trust them. That said, it’s important to be honest about what I need to succeed. Over time, it’s become clear that I do best as the only animal in the home. I have shown resource guarding and reactive behaviors when other animals are present, and for everyone’s safety, I need a calm, predictable environment without other pets. Because of this, I’m also not a good fit for homes with children under 15. I’m not a “take me everywhere” kind of dog — I’m a ride-or-die companion for the right person. The kind who will quietly love you with his whole heart, make you laugh daily with his goofy underbite, and show you what it means to be truly grateful to be safe, understood, and chosen. If you’re an experienced, patient adopter looking for a deeply devoted companion and are willing to honor my boundaries, I promise I’ll give you everything I’ve got. To help me find the perfect match, I’m eligible for Cause for Canines’ Trial Adoption Program! This gives approved adopters a chance to get to know me in their home before making things official. You must be an approved adopter to participate. Apply to adopt Hero at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 15+ ##2188352##

Story
Hi I’m Padfoot! I’m an 8 month to a year lab mix and I’m looking for a home! I’m good with other dogs and got rescued with another dog named Prongs! I like cats, they’re pretty interesting but I’m learning to listen to my foster mom when she tells me to stop sniffing them. I love people! Strangers aren’t a thing to me. I love to play with toys and I do best with teething toys or hard chews because anything plush is just too fun to destroy! I’m learning to be in a home again as I’ve been a stray for a while but my foster mom thinks I had a home at one point because I know some commands, I’m doing very well at potty training, and I only pull a little when I’m on a leash. I do sleep in the crate when my foster family leaves and goes to bed, but I like to express my concerns and opinions for a little bit before I settle down. I would love to have another dog in the home as I’ve got a lot of energy. If you like walks or maybe even hiking I would be your guy! I love that stuff! I’m the best guy and I will love you forever! If you’re looking for a new pup to add to your family, please consider me!  Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start September 16, 2026, 7:56 am

Story
Lily is a sweet, loving, and active dog who brings a lot of joy and personality with her. I am looking for a new home for her because I have to move to different state for work, and the place I am going will not be suitable for her. Lily loves to play, especially tug of war, and she also enjoys cuddling up close when she feels safe and comfortable. She can be a little scared of rain and thunder, so she does best with someone who can be patient and comforting during storms and loud noises. She is affectionate, a little needy in the sweetest way, and loves being close to her person. I am hoping to find her a caring, stable home where she will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime.
