🚨 FOSTER NEEDED FOR STRIPE! 🚨

Meet Stripe! ❤️ This 2.5-year-old, 50-pound cattle dog is smart, energetic, affectionate, and always ready for his next project—even if you didn’t assign him one! 😂

🐾 People dog: Stripe loves being with his person and getting attention. He has a sweet, affectionate side and wants to be part of the action.

🧠 Genius-level problem solver: Give him a frozen Kong and he’ll figure out how to get every last bit out. His technique involves licking the outside, dropping it, and shaking it until the filling comes loose. 😂

🐕 Great with dogs: Stripe loves to play! He’s an enthusiastic, rough-and-tumble player but has shown he can adjust his play to match his doggy friends.

🥾 Adventure buddy: He recently enjoyed a mini hike, waded into a stream, and encountered two deer. He was interested but stayed under control and didn’t lunge or chase.

🦴 Chew toy fanatic: Kongs, Woofs, Benebones, Nylabones, deer antlers—Stripe loves them all!

Stripe needs an active foster who enjoys adventures and understands working-breed dogs. Someone home much of the day would be ideal, as Stripe loves having a person by his side.

Because he can be cautious with new people and has some herding-dog tendencies, a home with adults or older, dog-savvy children would be the best fit.

Looking for a smart, affectionate, energetic adventure buddy? Stripe is waiting! ❤️

Sometimes, family is the one you’re born into. Other times, it’s the one you find along the way. 💕

Meet Franklin, Harry, Tony, and Milo, four kittens whose difficult beginnings brought them together in the most unexpected way.

Franklin and Harry are brothers who suffered severe respiratory infections that left Franklin completely blind and Harry with vision in only one eye. Their story began in an overcrowded home with 19 other kittens and just three nursing mothers. When PAW was asked to help, we stepped up. The brothers traveled all the way from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to Baltimore, Maryland, where their foster home could give them the medical care and attention they desperately needed.

Then came Tony, a goofy-looking little guy with skeletal deformities that were beyond the local shelter’s resources to address. When his time was running out, PAW stepped in to give him the chance he deserved.

And finally, Milo, an emaciated kitten rescued from another local shelter. About two months older than the other three, Milo could have gone his own way. Instead, he found his place with this little crew. He loves playing with the younger kittens and can often be seen looking out for them, taking on the role of their big brother and protector.

Four very different beginnings. Four kittens who needed someone to give them a chance. And now? They have each other.

Franklin, Harry, Tony, and Milo remind us that being family isn’t always about sharing the same beginning. Sometimes, it’s about finding comfort, friendship, and safety in one another.

💝FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED FOR SADIE! 💝

Meet sweet Sadie! 💕 This energetic young girl from South Carolina is a puppy at heart and ready to find her forever family. 🐾

Sadie is a total people dog who loves walks, adventures, treats, cuddles, and giving kisses. 🥰 She knows “sit,” is learning “down,” and is eager to keep learning. She enjoys playing with other dogs one-on-one and has previously done well with cats and children. She’s also a calm car rider! 🚗

She’s still working on her leash skills and would love a home with a yard where she can run, play, and burn off some of her puppy energy. Most of all, Sadie wants someone to love—and someone who will love her right back. ❤️

Please help Sadie find the happy ending she deserves! 🏡🐾

🐾❤️ "URGENT FOSTER NEEDED! Sable has made great progress in his foster home but they can't keep him after November as they will be traveling. CAN YOU FOSTER?" ❤️🐾

Meet Sable! This handsome 2-year-old, 70-pound chocolate Lab mix is a big, goofy, affectionate guy who absolutely loves his people. His foster says he could just as easily be named Shadow or Velcro because wherever you go, Sable wants to be right there with you! 🥰

🐾 A few things to love about Sable:

❤️ A total people dog: Whether you’re gardening, relaxing at the kitchen table, or moving from room to room, Sable will happily be by your side. Belly rubs are a big bonus!

🏡 A wonderful housemate: He’s housebroken, sleeps quietly through the night, is polite and attentive, and learns quickly. He knows “sit” and “down” and is working on “stay.”

🚗 An adventure buddy: Sable enjoys walks, playtime, exercise, and car rides with his favorite people.

🐕 Learning his leash manners: Sable gets excited when he spots other dogs and is working on staying calm during walks. His foster is working with a trainer, and he’s making progress! With proper introductions, he’s shown himself to be friendly and playful with other dogs. He’ll do best with an experienced adopter who can help him continue building his skills.

❤️ Sable is looking for an experienced adopter who can provide the exercise, structure, and training he needs to thrive. In return, you’ll get a loyal, loving companion who would prefer to be wherever you are!

Could Sable be your new best friend?

Please share and help him find the forever home he deserves! 🐾

🐾 POLLYWOG IS LOOKING FOR HER FOREVER HOME! 🐾

Meet Pollywog! ❤️ This adorable 25-lb pup is playful, curious, affectionate, and full of puppy charm. She loves running, chasing balls, playing tug, and having fun with other dogs—but her favorite place may be curled up beside her person after a busy day.

Pollywog is also a bright, treat-motivated learner who enjoys training and is eager to please. She’s still growing and learning, so she’ll thrive with an active, patient family ready to guide her, keep her engaged, and enjoy all her silly puppy antics—including her talent for “deconstructing” toys! 😂

If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion to grow with, Pollywog may be your perfect match. 🐾
