Story
Georgia~born~February 2019Characteristics: sweet, affectionate, timid, loving, eager to please, fast learner, toy motivated, smart, curious, cuddle bugHi, I'm Georgia and I'm as sweet as a Georgia peach! I'm about 4 years young and estimated to be a staffie/jack russel mix, and weigh in at 45 pounds. I am looking for my forever home and hope it'll have lots of toys and maybe not so many other animals. I love attention and to go for walks, and to play with my stuffed toys. I also enjoy chewing on bones. I am very well-behaved and am not destructive or too energetic, I have a very calm demeanor and can be left alone for a few hours during the day and won't cause any trouble at all. I am a little shy at first, but once I know you I will trust you from the bottom of my heart to take care of me. I just know my perfect match humans are out there for me to give all my unconditional love and affectionate too! I'm very smart and walk great on a leash. I really LOVE to cuddle. My foster dad says I'm the easiest dog he's ever fostered, and he's fostered a lot of dogs, so I guess I'm pretty special! Looking forward to meeting you and becoming your new best friend!_____The adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip!Please use these links for our:Online Adoption Application: paawarren.org/adopt/adoption-application-formWebsite for details, info: paawarren.org

Story
Truffle~born~March 2018Truffle needs to find a new home. Her current owner has provided this information:Truffle is a 5 year old sweet and loving pit/hound mix. Originally from California, she loves to take long sun baths and enjoy the fresh air. She enjoys her daily walks and has several spurts throughout the day where she loves to play and run around. However, most of the day, you'll find her napping and snuggled up next to you. Truffle is looking for an experienced owner who can continue to help her with separation anxiety and dog reactivity. She will do best in a single dog household. Truffle has been working very hard on her dog reactivity since 2020 and has come a long way! When introduced properly she can be comfortable around other dogs. She will do very well with a confident owner who is invested in her improvement and dedicated to continuing her training. She is also great around kids (even babies) for short periods of time, but would be happiest in a home without children (several days to a week around kids is her max). She does not do well with cats.Truffle is also working on her separation anxiety. Currently, she's working on crate training, which is going very well! Truffle loves to train and is food motivated and eager to please! She will thrive in a loving and nurturing home with structure and resources to dedicate to daily training to help her become confident and feel safe.Can you be Truffle's person, and provide a loving home where she can become your best friend and the best dog she can be?_____The adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip!Please use these links for our:Online Adoption Application: paawarren.org/adopt/adoption-application-formWebsite for details, info: paawarren.org

Story
Shyla~birth~February 2022Shyla currently lives with 2 cats and 1 dog and plays with all of them. She greets everyone like a tornado (lots of jumping) but calms down after the excitement wears off. She would do best with older children just because of her size and still needing to learn some manners. She is VERY food motivated, and she is house trained. She is very strong and needs to learn leash manners. She is crate trained--- she will fuss when she first goes in, but eventually settles down. She is not a fan of the vacuum. She is a bed hog and loves to snuggle (she thinks she is a lap dog). She loves to lay on the couch and watch what is going on in the neighborhood outside. She does not have a favorite toy, she loves them all and empties the toy box daily. A privacy fence would be best because she can escape by jumping over regular fences too easily, so a shorter fence would be a worry. Shyla is a good dog, just still young, so she needs some training which is a great way to bond with a dog.Wouldn't you love for her to be your new BFF?_____The adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip!Please use these links for our:Online Adoption Application: paawarren.org/adopt/adoption-application-formWebsite for details, info: paawarren.org

Story
I have a purebred American bully that will come with papers, she is so sweet and so gentle and loves people and kids, she isn't usually very aggressive with dogs, but for her she would be best as the only dog in the house, shes fine with cats. The reason for sadly having to rehome her is, my wife and I have both taken jobs where she would be in a kennel for awhile and that is not the life I would want for her, I would prefer someone who has a lot more free time for her. She is my baby so obviously I will only rehome her if the right person seems fit. She would come with her food, crate, toys , collars and leash.

Story
Meet Noel, the sweetest girl who would love to be your best friend! Noel is a pint-sized gal, weighing approximately 40 lbs. She is incredibly gentle and loving with her people and is also crate and potty trained. Noel is a fantastic travel companion, adores car rides, and enjoys going for walks, behaving wonderfully on her leash. Originally a stray at an overcrowded shelter, Noel won over the hearts of many volunteers with her amazing personality, leading to her rescue. Despite being heartworm positive upon rescue, she has been treated and is now heartworm free! Noel has many endearing qualities! She loves to sleep in, and when she wakes up, she's incredibly snuggly and appreciates a good rub down. Noel has a habit of burping loudly after meals, showcasing her gratitude! Rainy walks are no issue for her, but she thoroughly enjoys the towel down when back home. While she can be a couch potato, Noel lights up when it's time to prance and play fetch in the yard. Moreover, Noel exhibits thoughtful behaviors like waiting at the door until you pass through first and politely moving aside when you say "Excuse me" if she's in your way. If you're seeking the perfect pint-sized pup to join your family, apply today! Noel is 2 years old, up to date on vaccines, spayed, and prefers to be the ONLY pet in the home to soak up all the attention. Noel would do best in an adults-only, low energy household. *2 years old *Pint sized girl, weighing only 40 lbs. *UTD on vaccines & spayed *Potty & Crate Trained *Loves going for walks *Loves going for car rides *PREFER TO BE THE ONLY PET IN THE HOME Apply today at https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application.

Story
Meet Rosa Barks, a dog that’s overcome many challenges, just like her trailblazing inspiration namesake. When we heard about Rosa sitting at the shelter, we knew we had to step in and help. Rosa is looking for a soft place to land and spend her golden years. Rosa had clearly been failed within her life (up until now), and is SO deserving of a loving forever home to call her own. Despite her age, this senior gal is spry and playful. She loves snuggling and playing with toys. Rosa is housetrained and generally a low maintenance dog. Her foster absolutely adores having her and cannot say enough good things about this loveable girl! As with any lady of a certain age, skincare is of utmost importance to Ms. Parks. When she came into our care, she had significant skin issues. This improved with medical care, but she will likely need to be on an allergy medication to manage her allergies moving forward. Right now, she's trying over-the-counter Zyrtec to see if that does the trick. -Estimated to be 7 years old -40 lbs -Spayed -Housetrained -Up to Date on Shots -Microchipped -Spry for her Age -Sweet & Affectionate -Dog friendly (Cats & kids unknown but don’t anticipate issues) Apply to adopt Rosa Barks today: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application
