Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I am currently at Stafford Creek Corrections Center as part of the FREEDOM TAILS Board & Train Program from August 8 - October 31. This popular program pairs a duo of incarcerated individuals up with a PAWS of Grays Harbor pooch for 12 weeks. Each dog has a primary and secondary handler assigned to the same cell, giving the dog 24-hour care and attention to meet its needs. During their stay at SCCC, these dogs receive specialized training to prepare them for adoption to the public. At the end of their 12-week stay, they enjoy a special adoption ceremony with their new families to show off their skills as they start a new journey. Find out more at pawsgh.org/freedomtails.
5 Dalwood Highlights : 1. Loves other dogs 2. Loves to run 3. Loves meeting new people 4. Barks at new dogs, just to say hi! 5. Loves to cuddle
Hello there, I'm Dalwood! You know, I wasn't always a shelter pup. One day, I was minding my own business, sniffing out a good read in the library (I'm a bit of a bookworm), when a librarian shushed me. Can you believe it? A dog getting shushed in a library! Next thing I knew, I was here, making friends and avoiding the TV room (too much noise, not enough tail wagging). I'm a sweet, friendly, and energetic goofball. I love a good cuddle and I'm smart too. Kids are my favorite playmates - their energy matches mine! So, if you're looking for a fun-loving, cuddly smarty-pants who can keep up with the kiddos and bring you endless laughs, I'm your guy. Just promise to keep the TV off, okay?
8/25/24 Hello lovely humans! It’s me Dalwood. I wanted to reach out to all of you beautiful people and let you know I have been working really hard to better myself in many different ways. I am hoping that whatever lovely family loves me enough to adopt me will love me knowing that my manners will improve here at Freedom Tails. Right now I do bark at things I want to check out, but I am trying to learn how to control that, in order to make our life better and easier. I enjoy having my back and butt scratched not too rough though. I am not a big dog even though I act like one. I love to love and be loved. So, come love me now and I swear I will love you back and more!

We do require a completed application prior to meeting pets in foster homes to preserve the valuable time of our foster families.

More about this shelter
PAWS finds new families for stray dogs and cats as well as owner surrendered pets. We also accept animals brought to us by concerned citizens and local animal control agencies and do our best to find them suitable homes. Our mission is to find homes and offer direct care for as many of these loveable pets as possible. PAWS attempts to prevent the birth of unwanted animals through education and spay/neuter programs.
PAWS of Grays Harbor is a strictly non-profit organization and we survive because of donations from our community. All of the animals we adopt out are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and treated for fleas. Sometimes, the animals we rescue require additional veterinary care. Without your donations, none of this would be possible. Thank you for your support, we couldn’t do it without you.
