Story
Sweet Gemma She was such a happy girl today. Gemma is slowly becoming the gem we always knew she was. She’s a sensitive soul who needs a gentle, patient owner to help her continue to blossom. Gemma would thrive in a home with an experienced owner who has the time and commitment to show her that the world isn’t such a scary place—and who’s willing to invest in her training and growth. She has so much love to give, and she’s just waiting for someone to help her feel safe enough to share it. July 8, 2026, 10:25 am

Story
Meet Princess Penne! This 6-year-old, 40 lb sweetheart is the total package — brains, beauty, and just the right amount of sass. Penne has settled beautifully into her foster home and has been busy learning all kinds of new skills. She’s an eager student who loves to make her people proud! Penne is a classic bully girl who loves her people big time. She greets everyone she meets with a happy heart and zero hesitation — kids and adults alike are instant best friends in her book. If you’ve got affection to give, Penne is ready to soak it all up. When it comes to fun, the flirt pole is her absolute favorite toy. She also loves foraging toys and snuffle mats that keep her clever brain busy. But don’t worry — she’s not destructive at all! Penne is respectful in the home and leaves her toys and bedding perfectly intact. Princess Penne’s royal resume: • Crate trained • Potty trained • Polite with her belongings • Smart and eager to learn • Expert snuggler Her perfect day? A nice hike or outdoor adventure followed by curling up on the couch for some serious cuddle time. She’s just as happy chilling with her people as she is heading out to explore. Penne does have a high prey drive, so she’s looking for a home without cats or small animals. She also came from a past where she had some difficult encounters with other dogs, which made her fearful when she first arrived in foster care. With patience and training, she’s made wonderful progress and has learned to peacefully coexist during structured activities with a calm neutered male dog in the home. That said, Penne would truly love to be your one and only princess, soaking up all the love and attention. However, she may be able to live with a relaxed, dog-savvy neutered male with a very slow, thoughtful introduction. If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy, a couch-snuggling professional, and a loving companion who will adore you with her whole heart, Princess Penne might just be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Solei! Solei is one of our sunshine pups and she’s ready to find a home that can keep up with her! Solei is believed to be a Pit Bull/Malinois mix. She came from a local accidental litter that Project Precious Rescue and another rescue stepped in to help vet and rehome. Like many pups with bully and shepherd roots, Solei is an active girl who loves to run, jump, and play. She will be looking for a home with athletic pitbull/shepherd or working dog experience. These are not ideal first-time puppies unless you have solid plans for training, socialization, structured exercise, and lots of focused bonding time (maybe even a fun job!). Solei has a slightly softer personality than her sister. She can be a bit more reserved in new situations and may watch from the sidelines before jumping in. Once she’s comfortable, she’s incredibly sweet and loves snuggles when she’s ready to wind down. She’s a sensitive girl who responds beautifully to praise and encouragement. She has done well with dogs of all shapes and sizes, especially playful pups who enjoy puppy antics. An active dog friend would likely be a great match for her. She may also do fine with a savvy cat, though she hasn’t met one yet. If you think Solei’s energy and personality would fit your lifestyle, please visit www.pprct.org and fill out an adoption application!

Story
Meet Suvi! Suvi is one of our sunshine pups and she’s bringing the energy! Suvi is believed to be a Pit Bull/Malinois mix. She came from a local accidental litter that Project Precious Rescue and another rescue stepped in to help vet and rehome. Suvi is bold, confident, and always on the move. She loves to run, jump, and play, and will need a home with athletic pitbull/shepherd or working dog experience. This girl isn't the best fit for first-time dog owners unless you’re ready for serious commitment to training, socialization, structure, and plenty of exercise. While she isn’t extremely drive-heavy, Suvi has very high energy and can be mouthy and jumpy like many working-type puppies. She needs someone who will channel that energy with training, engagement, and structure, not just a yard. Suvi is fearless and loves rough-and-tumble play with the big dogs. She takes corrections from them well and might even have a future in parkour! Because of her enthusiastic play style (and slight wrecking ball tendencies), she would do best with active, playful dog friends rather than low-key or senior pups. She may also do fine with a savvy cat, though she hasn’t met one yet. If you think Suvi’s energy and personality would fit your lifestyle, please visit www.pprct.org and fill out an adoption application!

Zoey is an energetic and lovable dog looking for an experienced adopter! She is approximately five years old, fully house trained, and can obey commands. She is a sweetheart but very anxious, and takes medication daily to help with the anxiety. Zoey loves people, but is timid and afraid around other dogs. Zoey is comfortable being crated and sleeps in her crate at night. We love Zoey and are hoping to find an adopter that can give her the best possible care!

Story
Hello, I'm Levi. One of my favorite things are going on adventures like hiking in the woods. I'm more of a student than a party dog. I graduated from two training courses and have lots of swimming experience. I'm a relationship kind of guy with a sensitive soul beneath this lean muscle body. My soulmate would be a leader who's warm, patient, calm, confident and helps me feel safe by showing me the world isn't so scary. If you respect me, I will be the most loyal companion you ever had! BTW, I'm the longest resident at PAWS. Are you that special person who will adopt me? Levi's adoption fee is discounted.

Matilda is an absolute mush who adores attention and melts right into anyone willing to give her affection. She's gentle, loving, and eager to bond.
