🩵 INTERESTED IN FOSTERING? WE’RE RECRUITING! 🩵

Although our shelter is open at a limited capacity, foster homes remain an incredibly important part of helping us save more lives and say YES to more dogs in need. 🐾

Every foster home gives a dog or puppy the chance to experience life outside the shelter, decompress and learn in a home environment, and build confidence and a sense of stability while waiting for their forever home.

Fostering also helps us make room for more dogs in need and allows us to better understand each dog’s personality, needs, and ideal home environment so we can find the best possible forever placement.

If you’ve been thinking about fostering, we’d love to hear from you! 🩵🩵🩵

🩵 DID YOU KNOW? IT IS NATIONAL ADOPT A SHELTER DOG MONTH! 🩵

In honour of this, we want to shine a little extra light on two very special girls who have been in our care since before our new facility even opened. Sadly, they’re growing up in rescue.

These sisters came to us as part of a litter of five. Three of their sisters found their forever homes as puppies, but for some reason, Patti and Selma have received little to no interest.

Although they look alike, they each have their own unique personalities, hilarious little quirks, and SO much love to give the right families. They’ve spent their entire puppyhood in rescue, waiting for someone to see just how special they are.

Our team is hopeful we can change their story and help them find forever homes before their first birthdays arrive!

If you, or someone you know is looking for a lovely, loyal companion who’s past the tiny puppy stage but still has plenty of youthful energy, trainability, and potential to grow with you, Please reach out as Patti or Selma might just be your perfect match. 🩵🐾

🩵 TUCKER NEEDS A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOME! 🩵

At just 1.5 years old, Tucker is really struggling with shelter life, and we’re looking for an experienced home to help him thrive.

Tucker needs someone who understands anxious dogs and can provide the structure and patience he needs.

One thing we’ve noticed is that Tucker is finding his confidence and overcoming fears when he has a confident dog by his side! A well-adjusted canine companion may be a huge asset in helping him continue to grow.

Tucker has so much potential, but he needs the right person (and doggy sidekick!) to help him find it. 🩵

🩵 SNOOP 🩵
Now Accepting Adoption Applications!

Age: 10–12 months (approx.)
Gender: Male
Breed: Chihuahua X

About Snoop:

Snoop came to PAWS feeling scared, unsure, and much too skinny. The world felt like a pretty big place for this little guy!

Today, he’s completed his vetting and has been slowly coming out of his shell in foster care. 🐾 Now, he’s ready to find a very special forever home!

Snoop is looking for an adult-only home where he can be the only dog, with someone who understands the importance of patience and respecting his boundaries with a fearful dog.

As a small dog, Snoop needs people who understand that being little doesn’t mean he should have to tolerate being picked up, handled, or reached for when he’s uncomfortable. Snoop specifically struggles with hands reaching toward him, so his future family must be willing to give him autonomy, let him make choices, and allow him to approach when he feels ready. 🩵

He may take time to warm up to new people, but once he learns to trust you, his loving side begins to shine. That relationship just won’t happen overnight, and he needs someone who understands that earning his trust is a process worth respecting.

… And don’t let his little size fool you! Snoop loves going for walks and staying active. He’s looking for a family who will enjoy getting out and exploring with him, not one expecting a lazy little lapdog. 🐾

Adoption Fee: $550
Includes microchip, spay/neuter, all vaccines, and deworming.

Please note: PAWS for Life adopts to force-free homes only. Snoop’s future family must be committed to positive, reward-based training methods and respecting his individual needs.

🐾 REMEMBER US? 🐾

Just 25 days ago, we welcomed Bramble and Soot to PAWS for Life Rescue. Since then, these two have been in isolation while our team worked hard to get them feeling, looking (and smelling!) their best.

And as you can see in the comparison to then and now, they’ve come a long way! Today, they received the all-clear from our vet to officially leave isolation. 🩵

Because of the precautions needed to keep everyone safe, these boys have missed out on a lot of the exposure, attention, and everyday experiences that growing puppies need. And let’s just say… they are READY to make up for lost time! 🐾

We’re looking for foster or foster-to-adopt homes for Bramble and Soot so they can continue healing, explore the world, and start learning all the things that help puppies grow into confident, well-adjusted dogs.

If you are interested, Please reach out to us and see the below link to our foster application 👇🏻

🩵 COWBOY HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 🩵

After spending quite a few months with us, navigating some medical issues and being one of our more overlooked, quirky dogs… Cowboy has finally found his people!

He’s now living his best life on an acreage, with some new dog friends who are helping him work on his manners and learning how to be a polite gentleman. 🐾

A huge thank you to his adopter for taking a chance on this special boy and seeing what we’ve always known - and for choosing to adopt from PAWS For Life … AGAIN! (Cowboy’s new sister, pictured, was also adopted from PAWS for Life a few years ago!)

Happy life, Cowboy! 🤠
