Story
Meet Leander Leander is a very sweet, gentle soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe place again. He is extremely shy and easily startled by noises, but with calm energy and patience, he slowly comes to you and shows his loving side. He needs someone who understands that trust takes time. Leander does well on the leash and is house-broken. He is dog friendly and previously lived with another dog, which seems to bring him comfort. Having a calm canine companion in his future home could be a great help for him. He is kid friendly but He’s sensitive to sudden movements and does best with calm, gentle interactions. Leander has a low-energy personality and would thrive and fully embrace the couch-potato lifestyle and would like a calm home where naps are encouraged ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2. Call your vet and references to inform them that a rescue representative will be calling. 3.

Story
1 year old Golden/Pyrenees/Staffie mixPatch is a 1 year old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix looking for his forever home. His owners got him as a very young puppy, but didn’t know at the time that Patch was going to grow up and like to go after the neighbor’s chickens. They share that he is super sweet with humans, but just doesn’t care for livestock so he would be better off living in the suburbs. Please send us your phone number if you would love to hear more about Patch. November 30, 2025, 6:55 am

Story
Did u know that two of a kind, beats a full house???? Ok, maybe not in poker..but in our lives it really does. We were found as a pair and the rescue saved both of us ;) anf yes we hang together all day so we are considered a "bonded pair ". Now that all of that fun is behind us, we r a cute pair! We are not puppies, so no need to hide your good China 😉 We so want a safe and loving and patient family. Arnold is shy and definitely depends on Gilbert to let him know thst they r c safe and loved. If you I are looking to adopt a couple of middle aged dogs, we are them!! Hurry, we r too cute to pass up! Local adoption fee is $350 ( in TX, together ❤️) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area- together)

Story
***FOSTER / FOSTER TO ADOPT NEEDED*** Lazlo is a super sweet boy who needs a human and a home.  We want to start him as a foster or foster to adopt so we are sure it is a good fit as he has been through many changes in a short time.  He loves people and other dogs and would do well with a confident doggie friend to show him the ropes.  Laz is about 1 year old and 50 pounds with lovely soft golden fur that is wondful to pet.  He is a bit of a "low rider" so we think he is Golden Retriever mixed with something short.  He is settling in well at doggie day care and has made best friends with another PAW dog. Laz is very treat motivated and responds well to guidance from a person.  We think that Laz is going to bloom into an absolutely fabulous family dog with a little time and a lot of love - can you be the person to help him on his way? PAW adopts to the DC, MD, southern PA, and northern VA area. ##2580537##
