Introducing Bindi! This beautiful girl was adopted from NAWS years ago and recently came back to us due to no fault of her own.

Meet our darling girl Margo! She's a 3 year old little pittie. Margo was left abandoned in a motel room with her 1 remaining puppy.

Story
Tequila is a 2-3 year old tri-color pitbull. She came to PAWS in terrible condition. She was abandoned with a severe skin infection, caused by food allergies, and had lost 95% of her fur. She was also emaciated, weighing only 45 lbs and very shut down.She went directly into foster care and after a couple of months in a home environment she started to blossom. She has bonded with her foster mom and another dog in the house but is still a bit shy around new people and dogs. She is interested in meeting other people and dogs but is cautious and likes to approach first.She would do well in a quiet house with people that have experience with a dog that needs to learn to trust. No kids and no cats. She will need a couple of months to acclimate and bond and get comfortable.She enjoys walks obedience training and learning new tricks/commands and would benefit from an active house. She travels great in a car and walks very nicely on a leash.

Meet a VERY handsome meatball sandwich named AMMO! This big guy has had a rough life & is looking for his forever family. He is a big, soft headed meatball with tons of love to give. He is toy reactive & cannot have them with other dogs. He just hates sharing but I mean can you blame him? He would do best in a stable home with adults & NO CHILDREN. He can be picky when it comes to dog friends & although he is fostered with cats, he would do best without them. He is a low, slow, guy with a heart as big as his head & deserves the best life. He does not need tons of activity & will do well in an apartment. For more information, email dtrafadopt@gmail.com
