Story
From the pictures you can see that Charlie had a very rough start. She was found in a park very emaciated, flies had chewed her ears. Through all that, Charlie never lost her snuggly, sweet nature. She is a sweet Lab mix, she is very smart. She is house broke, crate trained, she loves to go on her walks, and be with her people. She is spayed, and microchipped. She likes kids, other dogs, and cats. Charlie forgave what happened to her, and learned that not all humans are bad. She wants to do nothing but hang with her people, cuddle, play, and be happy. She is looking for that perfect family. Hopefully that can be you.

Story
Skyler~born~May 2011Skyler was adopted from PAAW back in 2016 and was a loving and wonderful companion for her adopter. But her person moved into an apartment and he could not take her with him. She was an excellent companion and it broke his heart to give her up. He knows she will make someone else a great companion too.Yes, she is elderly, but she is so sweet too! She deserves to live out her golden years in a comfortable and super loving home.Skyler is a very sweet, gentle, and lovable girl! She is very easy going, likes to lay around and have her belly rubbed, and would be the perfect new addition to brighten up your life! She seems to smile all the time, and is a big ol' lovable galoot! She weighs about 60 pounds.She is good with people, but because she is very strong, and though she is a senior now, a home without young kids would be best for her. She is good with other dogs overall, but would prefer a home without other dogs or cats, just because she is so strong and loves her people more than anything, and she deserves all the love she can get now as she adjusts to a new home! Skyler is so sweet and easy going and she deserves to continue being loved in her golden years. To meet her is to love her, so please apply!_____The adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip!Please click on the link for our:Online Adoption Application: https://paawarren.org/adopt/adoption-application-form/Details and info on Website: https://paawarren.org/

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
Milo~born~August 2021Milo is looking for an experienced dog owner and a special new forever home. Due to his owner's failing health, Milo needs to find a new home. His owner has provided this information about him. Milo has been training with Off Leash Training, a board and train program for behavioral rehabilitation, so that he can be his best self.Personality of Milo: He is such a sweet loving boy. He loves cuddles and playing fetch with tennis balls/toys. He loves car rides and sticking his head out the window. We call car rides "buh-byes" and he gets super excited. He loves going on adventures to new locations like parks or walking trails. He does like to "watch" TV but barks and jumps at it. He is a bit clingy and prefers to be around his person. He loves jumping for hugs and pets (but we are working on greeting manners). He loves fruits and veggies. Strawberries are his favorite! He loves playing in the water in summer, we have some sprinklers that I would be more than happy to pass along, along with all his toys, bed, crate, leashes. He's got a lot of energy and a lot of love to give! I think Milo would do best with someone who is active and has time and space to provide for Milo. Milo weighs about 70 pounds.Milo is not good with other dogs/cats/children but we are in active training to work on aggression towards other dogs. Milo is house-trained and crate trained. Milo would need an experienced adopter. A fenced in yard would be preferred for Milo.His only special needs would be weekly ear cleaning and daily walks. Since Milo is in active training, he needs an experienced dog owner who can provide Milo with a loving home and continue his training so he can be his best. Could it be you? Please consider meeting him and making him your companion and 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
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
