🎾🐾 Meet Frolick! 🐾🎾

Frolick would love nothing more than to find someone who will toss the ball, play fetch, and then enjoy all the fun that comes with being best friends. Once he warms up, his playful personality really starts to shine!

If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who just needs someone willing to take things at his pace, Frolick may be your guy! 🐶💕

Come meet Frolick and see if you’re the best friend he’s been waiting for!

🇺🇸☕ Meet the stars of our PAWS Patriot Blend: Scrumptious, Ben, and their sister Samantha! 🐾❤️

These three have a story that reminds us why rescue matters.

Scrumptious was cruelly thrown from a moving car. Ben, her wonderfully talkative brother, was returned simply because he had too much to say. Along with their sister Samantha, they found safety, love, and a second chance at PAWS.

Today, they’re thriving—spending their days chasing toys, soaking up sunny windowsills, and proving that every animal deserves a family who loves them exactly as they are. 💜

Every bag of PAWS Patriot Blend helps support animals just like Scrumptious, Ben, and Samantha while you enjoy a great cup of coffee.

You can grab a bag online:

🐾💜 THIS SATURDAY: ADOPTION FEES ARE WAIVED! 💜🐾

Your new best friend is waiting. Will you be the one who finds them? 🥹🐶🐱

This Saturday, September 5, we’re inviting YOU to join the RESCUE EFFECT! 🎉

✨ ADOPTION FEES ARE WAIVED! ✨

But this isn’t just about getting a great deal on adoption. When you adopt, you create space for another homeless animal to enter our shelter and get the help they desperately need.

One adoption creates space.
That space creates another rescue.
And that rescue creates another second chance.

That’s the Rescue Effect. 🐾💜

We have dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, ages and personalities waiting to meet you. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a couch potato, a playful pup, or a cat who will happily take over your entire house… your perfect match could be waiting at PAWS. 🏡❤️

📅 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5
🕙 10:00 AM–4:30 PM
📍 PAWS Shelter
752 Lovejoy Road NW, Fort Walton Beach

🐶 Guided dog kennel walkthroughs begin at 11:00 AM. Our staff and volunteers will help introduce you to the dogs and tell you all about their personalities. And of course, our cats will be ready to charm their way into your heart, too! 😻

🚨 DON’T JUST THINK ABOUT ADOPTING. COME MEET YOUR MATCH! 🚨

Bring your family. Tag your friend. Share this post. And most importantly—come to PAWS Saturday and see who is waiting for you.

💜 ADOPT ONE. HELP MANY. JOIN THE RESCUE EFFECT.

Some exclusions apply. Animals must be altered and available for full adoption on the day of the event to qualify for waived adoption fees.

🐾 Meet Porkchop! 🐾

Porkchop is a 6-year-old sweetheart who is patiently waiting for someone to see what a true gem she is. 💕 She’s one of our longest-resident cats, not because she isn’t wonderful, but because she can be a little shy when meeting new people.

Give her a little time, patience, and trust, and you’ll discover the loving, snuggly girl underneath that shy exterior. Once Porkchop feels safe with you, she absolutely blossoms—and there’s nothing better than earning the love of a cat like her. 🥹💜

She’s looking for a patient, understanding home where she can take things at her own pace and become the confident, affectionate companion she’s meant to be.

Could you be Porkchop’s person? 🐱💕

🌼 Meet Tansy! 🌼

If you’re looking for a tiny bundle of puppy joy, you might want to meet this little girl! 🐾💕

Tansy is a 9-week-old petite puppy who is sweet, happy, loving, and absolutely convinced that everyone she meets is her new best friend. 🥹💗 She loves attention, loves being loved, and is always ready to hand out plenty of puppy kisses in return!

🐶 Dog friendly
🐱 Cat friendly
👧 Likely great with kids — she’s still so young and would have the perfect opportunity to grow up alongside them!
🌸 Petite little girl

We aren’t quite sure what breed mix Tansy is, but we do know her mom is a smaller girl at just 17 pounds, and Tansy is pretty little herself. So whatever she grows up to be, we think she’s going to be one adorable package! 🥰

At 9 weeks old, Tansy is at the perfect age to learn, grow, explore, and become a beloved member of her forever family. She’s ready for puppy adventures, belly rubs, cuddles, and a whole lot of love. 💕

Could Tansy be the missing piece to your family? 🌼🐾
