Story
🐾 Meet Canela! 🐾 Name: Canela Age: 1 year old Gender: Female Weight: 64 lbs Size: Big girl, big heart! ❤️ Canela’s story is one of survival. We rescued her just minutes before she was scheduled to be euthanized at a high-kill shelter in South Texas, near the Texas–Mexico border. She was given a second chance, and now she’s ready to find the family she was always meant to have. Canela is a big, beautiful ball of energy with an even bigger personality! She is incredibly sweet, loving, smart, curious, playful, and adventurous. She loves being involved in everything her people are doing and is definitely a Velcro dog — if you’re there, she wants to be right there with you. ❤️ She LOVES to play, and water is one of her favorite things! Whether she’s running around, exploring, playing with her ball, or finding something fun to get into, Canela is always ready for her next adventure. She is leash trained, crate trained, and house trained, and she does well with kids. She also enjoys other dogs who can match her energetic and playful temperament. Now, let’s talk about her personality! 😂 Canela is not shy about asking for attention. She has a demanding little personality when it comes to getting love and attention, and she will absolutely let you know when she thinks it’s time to focus on her. She’s affectionate, people-oriented, and wants to be part of the action. And one very important Canela fact: She can jump ANY fence. And I mean ANY fence. 😂 Height does not seem to matter to this girl. Her future family will need to be extremely careful with fencing and have a secure plan to keep this adventurous escape artist safely contained. 🏡 Canela’s ideal home Canela needs an active home with people who understand and appreciate an energetic young dog. She would thrive with a family that enjoys outdoor adventures, playtime, exercise, and keeping their dog mentally and physically engaged. Her energy can be a lot if you’re expecting a calm couch potato — but if you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy who will shower you with affection, Canela may be your girl. Once you get past her “I HAVE ENERGY AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT!” personality, you’ll discover the most loving, loyal, affectionate girl. Canela has already fought hard for her second chance. Now she just needs someone who will give her the active, loving forever home she deserves. 🐾❤️ Could Canela be your next adventure buddy? Canela is spayed, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.

Story
Hi, Im Chi, and I've got soft-boy charm! At first I’ll size you up like a seasoned diplomat, but once youve passed the sniff test (bonus points if you brought treats), Im all in for cuddles and goofy play. Im great with other dogs and kind humans, including kids, and Ive been fully vetted, vaccinated, and neutered—basically, Im a gentleman in a tux. If youre the type who respects a slow warm-up and then welcomes the most loyal sidekick you’ll ever meet, Ive got your back (and your couch). Im still in Qatar, but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter. I cant wait to meet you!

Story
I’m an 8-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Boxer mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for my people. My life was turned upside down when my old family left me at a high-intake shelter, but my foster mom helped me heal, feel safe again, and remember what it’s like to be loved. Now I’m ready to find a forever family who won’t ever give up on me. I’m a polite girl with great house manners — I only chew on my toys (never shoes!), and I absolutely love squeaky toys and cozy donut beds. I’m also a champion sleeper and perfectly happy to snooze in with you on quiet mornings. Walks are one of my favorite things! Long, sniffy walks make me so happy, and I’m a wonderful adventure buddy. Sometimes I get a little reactive when I see other dogs on leash, but I’m learning every day. With some patience and positive training, I might even enjoy living with another dog after slow introductions. I adore people and I can’t wait to become someone’s loyal best friend. I’m healthy, spayed, and so excited to start my next chapter. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, toy-collecting snugglebug who’s ready to be your whole world… I think we should meet. Love, Hunie. Adoption fee: $375, includes first 2 DAPP, bordetella, sterilized, heartworm test, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Sable is a two-year-old, 70 pound chocolate lab mix as sweet as his namesake.  His fosters report that he is completely housebroken, sleeps quietly all night in his kennel, and is a quick learner: after only two corrections about staying off the furniture on day one, he has obeyed consistently since.  He also knows "sit" and "down" and is working on "stay."  He seems to travel well in the car. Sable could just as easily have been dubbed Shadow, Velcro, or any other name befitting his desperate desire to see you, be near you, and please you. Sitting at the kitchen table? He has contorted himself under the chair so he can put his head on your feet. Working in the garden? He is sitting politely on the other side of the fence, looking longingly for a sign that you still love him. Taking three steps to retrieve something from across the room? He is right behind you, making sure you wouldn't think of leaving him. He is extremely handsome and expressive, gentle when taking treats, and unabashed in deploying his puppy dog eyes and rolling on his back in hopes you'll provide some belly rubs. Sable's only challenge is the time he has spent in the loud, chaotic environment of dog shelters while awaiting adoption, which has made him anxious at noisy dog adoption events and hyper-alert on leash when he spots approaching dogs (and the occasional squirrel).  When he draws near to another dog, he does what he learned in the shelter: jump and bark loudly.  But Sable and his fosters have been working with a trainer on some calming and distraction techniques, and he is making slow progress in making less of a ruckus when other dogs pass. His fosters report that in spite of his offputting greetings, it genuinely appears that he is just an anxious, untrained and over-enthusiastic two-year-old who wants to get closer to other dogs for the purpose of meeting and playing.  With every dog he has actually approached after the initial threatening barking, Sable has sniffed thoroughly, wagged his tail vigorously, and then dropped into play pose.  His fosters are confident that with continued training he will learn over time to be more calm and polite when encountering his fellow canine friends. He is otherwise great on the leash and friendly with adults and children who stop to admire him.   Given his young age, high energy level, and need for continued leash training, Sable would do well with a calm and confident dog owner who will commit to giving him the exercise he needs: 2-3 long walks a day and plenty of fetch in a fenced yard.  At home he is awesome: quiet, sweet, and attentive.  He will make a WONDERFUL, loyal addition to a really lucky family. He is a wonderful boy and you are guaranteed to love him! PAW adopts in the MD, DC, northern VA, and southern PA region. ##2683905##

Story
Sugar and Spice and EVERYTHING Nice! Spice is sweet, playful, cuddly, and amazing with people and dogs! At just two years old, she is crate and house trained. She is working on her leash and walking skills and walking with a buddy is helping her understand the process.  Spice would be great as an only dog, but she would thrive with a resident buddy. Cats? Not sure, but Spice does not seem to have a strong prey drive. She would rather chase a ball, toy, or anything you want to throw about. Kids? Probably seven years and older would be best because of Spice’s love for running and playing. Spice is still nervous about going in the car, but she is fine once she is settled safely in the backseat. She would be a great walking, running (once she gets the leash skills down), and hiking partner. She is high energy, but once she gets her playtime in, she just wants to hang with her person and chill! ##2830285##
