Story
Artie is kind and loyal, likes to play but also lay around and be lazy. The kitchen exhaust fan scares him but he’ll ignore it for a piece of cheese. Artie is trained and knows basic commands. He goes to doggy daycare regularly so he is good with other dogs. He is also has a cat sister and wants to chase and play her when she allows it. He is not the biggest fan of children and will sometimes bark at people that aren’t comfortable around dogs.Artie is a great friend, loyal, affectionate, and full of character. He would do best in a home that understands his personality and gives him the space and comfort to truly flourish.Artie is 2 years old and his birthday is November 13th. Up to date on his shots and is neutered.

Story
Meet StingSting is a 45 year old Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 64 pounds who is quietly learning that life can be kind. He came to us from a hoarding situation, and while he has already made wonderful progress, the world is still a new and sometimes overwhelming place for him.Sting is a shy, timid boy with an incredibly sweet nature. Everyone who meets him says the same thing this dog doesnt have a mean bone in his body. He simply needs a little time and patience to feel safe and understand what it means to be part of a family.Because of his background, Sting is still figuring out how to be a dog. One thing weve already learned about him though he absolutely loves the ladies! He takes comfort in gentle voices and calm companionship. We believe Sting would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly dog who can help show him the ropes and give him reassurance as he continues to blossom.The best part about dogs like Sting is what happens once they learn to trust. When you earn his heart, youll gain a deeply loyal companion who will quietly adore his person.Sting is already crate trained and potty trained, and hes ready to continue his journey in a patient home that understands that the most special dogs sometimes just need a little extra time.A confident dog in the home is a must for Stings success.He is currently available for foster or foster-to-adopt, giving someone the chance to help this sweet boy continue discovering how good life can be.

Story
Jake the Great is finally here! This animated boy is 3 years old, a tall 55-lbs, and enjoys nothing more than some playtime, long walks, and cuddles on the sofa. Jake did not get off to a great start in life, and by no fault of his own ended up at a Scioto County shelter before being scooped up by PAWS. He is ready for his big break with his forever family. He has no known health issues and has been quick to learn how to be alone in the house when his foster parents are out and about. House trained, learning how leashes and walks work, but maybe a little impatient with dinner, Jake has matured into a more confident gentleman. He is good with cats and dogs and especially appreciates having somebody that can help him work through some of his boundless energy. His next family should be ready to be patient with the goofball. He needs daily exercise and has trouble walking across smooth hardwood floors with his giraffe-like legs. Jake is available to meet and greet at the many PAWS events!  Every PAWS dog is loved, vetted, and ready for a fresh start March 8, 2026, 11:18 pm
