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 121 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 also has an obsession with deer! For that reason, a privacy fence would be ideal if you have deer around your home. 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
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
Sophie was adopted April 2026! Sadly, Sophie’s 1st adopter passed away and her recent trial period with a family revealed that Sophie isn’t ideal for a family — she’s clearly most comfortable with a woman but could be compatible with another dog too. Sensitive but with an endearing cheeky streak, Sophie exudes happiness. Her antics will keep a smile on your face too! Sophie is an affectionate soul who loves giving kisses. Sophie loves her big yard and playmates. She will wrestle and chase her foster buddy Alfie at top speed around the yard. She’s always the last to follow foster mom inside when playtime is over. Sophie’s natural love of companionship, independent as she can be, means she soon scratches at the door to say “ready now!” Then she greets everyone as though parted for days. Sophie’s clever too — she’s figured out that looking back and forth from door to foster mom and giving a yip will get the door to the privacy-fenced yard opened. Sophie’s beautiful double coat must be brushed thoroughly at least weekly to avoid mats. Professional grooming is not essential but may be helpful given the denseness of her coat. Sophie loves carrying around a few favorite over-sized stuffies and Benebones but has no interest in chasing balls or toys generally. She loves watching the activity in her neighborhood. She also loves leaping into your lap every chance she gets for a good cuddle! If you would treasure this loving dog and can commit to providing a devoted forever-home where her health and happiness are priorities, please complete an application for Sophie! My Profile Age: 4 years Weight: 27 pounds Good with kids: No Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unlikely, high prey drive Fenced yard: Yes House trained: Yes. Barks when left alone: Sometimes Training: Basic, more training advisable Meet Me If you are interested in Sophie, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application.
