Story
Cutie pie Coco is just a darling mini miss who is seeking love and stability. This innocent gal was found tied to a fence. She was so sad! We saved her and gave her the safety and love she so wanted. She is a very good little pup who appreciates a mellow lifestyle, soft beds, gentle pettings, and yummy treats. Coco has the type of hair that keeps growing so she needs to see the doggie groomer every few months to keep her hair free from painful mattings. She's a high maintenance pooch but she is worth it! Can you give Coco the loving home she so wants? Meet this pup today!

Story
Clyde is a tiny but mightly little guy found wandering the streets of Anne Arundal county dirty and matted.  The shelter took him in, got him cleaned up, and found an adorable Shih Tzu under all that matting.  Clyde is now recovering from his ordeal with a devoted foster who is helping him learn that he is safe and can relax.  Clyde is 4 years old and 15 pounds. He likes to be around a person he trusts, and develops trust pretty quickly - especially if you have treats.  However he needs to get to know people on his own terms - he doesn't like people approaching him but prefers to do the approaching.  Once he knows you, Clyde loves snuggling, rolling over, getting belly rubs, and sleeping in bed with his human.  He is completely housetrained, no accidents at all. He takes treats very gently and shows no food or toy aggression. His foster can even take food out of his bowl and hand feed him with no problems. He has been completely submissive with having his face and paws washed as well.  He walks easily on the leash and loves going for walks.  At his fosters he loves to sit in the window seat and watch the world go by. Clyde has been friendly to every dog he meets but especially likes big ones.  He had quite an ordeal being lost for who knows how long, and deserves a home where he will get the peace and security he deserves.  Clyde has some behavior issues that will require consistent training.  He will need a dog-experienced, adult-only adopter(s) who will work on training with him.  Cyde brings joy every day as he does zoomies around the yard, prances on his walks, and snuggles into your lap at night.  Don't you want this adorable snuggle bug in your life?  ##2163345##

Story
This darling girl was found wandering the street and PAW scooped her up to find her forever home.  Little Lottie is estimated to be about 8 years old and weighs 10 pounds.  She is a sweet girl who comes to people easily for pets.  She enjoys being carried around like a little pocket pup.  Lottie walks well on the leash with a cute bounce in her step. Lottie did not react to other pups in the shelter but we are still getting to know her.  She will be with a short term foster as she recovers from her neutering and we will update more.  If you are interested in adopting or fostering her act quickly!  With a little girl this cute and sweet she will get snapped up!

Story
Tiffany was in pretty bad condition when we picked her up from the PG shelter in December. She weighed just 6 ½ pounds and had recently been shaved due to being matted. Her eyes were in AWFUL condition and as a result, she has had multiple eye surgeries. She had her left eye removed and can only see shadows and movement with her right eye. She will need to continue with eye drops multiple times a day for the rest of her life. She doesn’t mind getting the drops in but does not like to have her eye cleaned. She also has some allergies and is currently receiving a Cytopoint shot as needed and periodic medicated baths. She lives with 2 other small dogs and gets along well with them. I am not sure about cats and she would be best with kids over 12 years old. When the dogs start barking, she joins in and continues even after the “threat” is gone since she has no idea why she’s barking..lol. Tiffany adjusted to her surroundings quickly and has her own room where we feed her and have pee pads laid out for her. She LOVES to eat!! She will let you know when it is mealtime and we have not found any food she does not like!! She has free rein of the home and is non-destructive when left alone (on average about 6-7 hours a day). She sleeps in my bed at night along with the rest of the dogs! I have not crated her at all. She needs to be carried down the stairs but is able to go up the stairs on her own. If there are stairs in the home, there must be a gate to prevent her from falling. We use steps for her to get on and off the couch. She loves to be on the bed and will let you know when she needs to be lifted up. She has recently started playing with toys and tries to play with her doggie siblings every once in a while but she just keeps barking in their face and they don’t understand what she wants. She gets happy feet when she gets excited. She also greets us at the door when we get home! She walks well on leash but is rather slow because she loves to stop and sniff everything. She also has a doggie stroller that she likes to sit in and also likes to be carried. She wants to be in the same room as you and prefers to be laying on a pillow or on your lap. We think she should have an older doggie sibling so she is never alone. She definitely likes to be part of a pack. If you would like to add her to yours, apply today!

Story
Sweetie was adopted October 2024. Thanks to everyone who put in inquiries and applications for Sweetie. Due to the extremely high volume of emails and applications, we apologize that we were unable to respond to everyone individually. At this time, she has been adopted. My name is Sweetie. I am female and about 2 years old. I am a 10-pound Shih-Tzu-Havanese mix. My name should be Snuggles or Cuddles because I love to snuggle and cuddle and get ear scratches and tummy rubs. I get along well with the 3 dogs in the house—2 chihuahuas and a Yorkie. I even get along with other little dogs that come to visit. I am house trained: I follow the other dogs into the yard and back into the house. I love to run in the back yard to chase squirrels and deer, play tug-of-war with my stuffed animals and chew on my favorite bone. I am a little timid when meeting people for the first time, so I need to take my time to get to know you. But once I know you, I will smother you with kisses.
