Story
River is an old soul looking for his soulmate - could you be his person?  River had a tough start in life and came to PAW quite frightened of the world.  With the endless love and dedication of his foster family he has begun to feel secure - and to blossom.  Now he needs to find his forever home where a loving adopter will continue the process to help him to become the dog he is meant to be. River is a gentle giant.  At 2 & 1/2 and 70 pounds, he is a big fluffy love bug.  At first River can be anxious around new people and in new environments - but once warmed up, he loves people (including children) and other dogs. In fact, River must have another dog in the house as he follows the lead of his current foster brother and has learned so much from him! River loves running and playing in the yard.  Because he is still working on leash walking, River's forever home must have a fenced-in yard.  It will be important to continue leash training and exposure to new situations. This is the best way to build River's confidence and to teach him that the wide world is a fun place to explore!  River's daily medication helps calm him down, and this is something that his forever person will need to continue for River's benefit and comfort.  If you think you could be the one for River, apply to adopt today! PAW places animals in the DC, MD, northern VA, and southern PA area only. ##1836418##

Story
It breaks my heart, but I need to find a new home for Barkley, my 1-year-old, 73-pound Anatolian Shepherd. He’s a good-natured, intelligent, and well-behaved boy who listens well and loves being around people. Unfortunately, my three cats are not adjusting to having a dog in the home — they’ve become stressed and withdrawn. For everyone’s well-being, I’m looking for a loving, cat-free home where Barkley can thrive. He’s healthy, affectionate, and eager to please, and would make a wonderful companion for someone familiar with large breeds.

Story
This handsome boy was picked up running at large and based on Facebook posts it was about his third or fourth offense, but no one claimed him. We are guessing that he was a failure at being a livestock guardian because he’s way too social. He’s always wanting to visit someone new. Charlie is a little over a year old and weighs 110 lbs. He was very thin when he first came to us but is now at his perfect weight. He is neutered, up to date on required vaccines, microchipped and heartworm tested negative. He’s house trained and he loves other dogs, but he is a big guy. He also will require a tall fence, and you will have to keep an eye on him because again he likes to visit new people. He’s affectionate and likes to lean on you. He is learning commands like sit and stay and he really tries to please! This is what his foster mom says about him " Charlie is amazing. He is housebroken, loves to be hugged, hasn’t chewed anything up, likes to play but is content just to chill. He walks beautifully on a leash and likes to say hi to everyone he meets. Charlie enjoys sitting and looking out the window, hanging around in the kitchen especially when I’m cooking and going for car rides. Although this breed is known for having a stubborn streak, Charlie seems to understand a few commands wait, it’s ok, no, come, let’s go and he will even sit for a treat. But his favorite is Good Boy Charlie❤️" This guy would be a great dog for an active loving family. He’s so sweet! If you would like to be Charlie’s forever family, please email dogs4mylife@ gmail.com or olmc7@ hotmail.com. If you are inquiring from a Gmail address. It is best to use our Gmail address, or you might have to look for us in your spam.

Story
fam, what is up? i am piper, legitimately the coolest and nicest dog in town but actually … i am literally THAT guy. i’m pretty easy going, good in the car, and on the couch. that new netflix show that’s def gonna be coming out about the karen dever case? i will watch it with you. fr. even if you’re already following it on tiktok. i’ll listen to you talk about it AND i will watch the entire show with you and still act cool with it. so you know…if you’re like interested or whadeva, tap my line and let’s be besties for the resties 🫶🏼 ciao, piper What the people have to say about me: Meet this handsome, laidback boy who's ready to steal your heart! Piper is a true gentle giant, content to lounge and cuddle or play with his favorite toys. He's a go anywhere kinda guy (brewery/patio approved!) and he's got a smile that will melt your heart! Piper is a loving boy who has shown himself to be a truly medium energy fella - a couple of average walks, some playtime, and something to engage his brain and he's good to go! Piper is also quite the paradox - on one hand he is so smart and eager to please! He knows sit and paw, seems to know to lie down and even comes back when called. On the other hand, this poor guy couldn't figure out how a kong works! It's okay Piper, we get it. You're book smart and might just lack some commonsense! Piper loves to chew and is an expert at defluffing a good stuffed toy. He loves his playtime with his doggy pals equally to his cuddles with his human companions. Swiper says there's no such thing as being too big to be a lapdog and he's always ready to melt into you and offer his belly for some rubs! With his sweet disposition and easygoing nature, he's looking for a loving home where he can be your best friend and a cherished member of the family. Piper is learning that sharing is caring and is readily trainable. He has a chill demeanor and is a joy to be around! Piper's got a heart as big as his head and is just waiting to adore his forever family with!

Male, 2 years old, 83 pounds Personality: rambunctious, gentle, goofy/funny, affectionate, loyal Looking for a big, loyal cuddle bug to commandeer your heart (and your sofa)? Meet Blitz. This gentle giant can be a little shy at first, but once he warms up he is the most loving, affectionate pup. He loves to be near his humans on the couch or resting by their feet, and adores belly rubs and any attention he can get! This goofy boy is working on perfecting basic commands and is making good progress with house training. He does great on the leash, is good at ignoring distractions, and is happy lying in his crate as long as he can still keep an eye on his people. He also gets along well with cats. Blitz is still working on his comfort level when left alone and would be happiest with people who can work from home and keep him company. Does cuddly Blitz sound like the right fit for your home?
