URGENT! FOSTERS NEEDED!

We are partnering with a southern rural shelter who is overcrowded. They get a lot of dogs, and not a lot of adopters. They ARE euthanizing for space.

We are still looking for fosters for the following pups. If you've considered fostering before, please give it a try! We're saving lives! Link to our foster application: https://papitstop.org/foster Previous fosters do not need to reapply.

REX Male Cane Corso Mix | Approximately 1–3 Years Old | 65 lbs at intake| Heartworm Negative Rex is a stunning grey brindle Cane Corso mix with a calm and gentle demeanor. Despite finding himself abandoned and in Animal Control, he remains sweet, cooperative, and easy to handle. He walks calmly on leash and has shown a kind, patient personality. Rex deserves a second chance with a family who will appreciate the loyal and loving dog he is. Rex came in with a female cane corso. She has been safely placed with another rescue but Rex is still waiting. Since Rex tail and ears are not cropped - a lot of cane corso rescues have denied him since they find it harder to place them without them being cropped. Rex does great on the leash and is a gentle giant.

MARESSA Female | Approximately 1–3 Years Old | 50 lbs | Heartworm Negative Maressa has likely spent much of her life producing puppies for profit, and now it is finally her turn to be loved. This beautiful girl deserves a home where she can simply be someone’s cherished companion. Maressa is good with other dogs and has a gentle demeanor. She has a sweet expression, a gentle spirit, and a future full of possibilities. Maressa is ready to leave her past behind and discover what it feels like to be part of a family.

BILLY Male | 6 Months Old | 30 lbs | Heartworm Negative Billy is a sweet, happy young pup with his whole life ahead of him. He enjoys saying hello to other dogs on his morning walk. Friendly and affectionate, he is eager to find a family who will help him grow into the wonderful adult dog he is destined to become. His age and temperament make him an ideal candidate for fostering or adoption.

NELLIE Female | Approximately 2–4 Years Old | HW negative| 41 lbs Nellie is a truly special girl with a tender heart. She can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate and loving personality shines through. Nellie enjoys spending time with volunteers, is learning her leash skills, and gets along well with other dogs. She would flourish in a patient foster home where she can continue building confidence and learn what it means to feel safe and loved. Nellie is spayed and ready for immediate transport.

JAZZY Female | 6 Months Old | 31 lbs | Heartworm Negative Jazzy is everything you could want in a puppy—playful, social, and full of life. She loves making new friends, enjoys the company of other dogs. Like most puppies, she is still learning her manners, but she is eager to please and responds well to guidance. Jazzy would thrive in a foster home where she can continue learning and receive the exercise and enrichment every growing puppy needs. Since she has been in a very small kennel space, with very limited outside of the kennel she needs someone patient to work on puppy training. Jazzy is VERY HIGH UP on the euth list.

LEVI Male | Approximately 1–2 Years Old | 49 lbs | Heartworm Negative Levi is the definition of a gentleman. This handsome yellow Labrador mix has a calm, easygoing personality and a sweet nature that makes him impossible not to love. He walks nicely on leash, gets along well with other dogs, and enjoys spending time with people. Levi has the kind of temperament that would make him a wonderful family companion and an easy addition to almost any home.

TRAVIS Male | 6 Months Old | 26 lbs | Heartworm Negative Travis is an adorable young pup who is still discovering the world around him. At just six months old, he is at the perfect age to transition into a foster or forever home where he can continue to grow and learn. His young age and sweet disposition make him highly adaptable, and he has all the potential to become an amazing lifelong companion. He came in with some skin issues but is being treated and has been seen by the vet.

WINNIE
Female | Approximately 6–12 Months Old | 32 lbs | Heartworm Negative Winnie is a happy, affectionate girl who loves attention and enjoys making new friends. One of her favorite things is greeting staff and volunteers with enthusiasm—and often a hug! She is friendly with other dogs and has a loving personality that shines through in every interaction. Winnie is ready for a home where she can continue spreading joy and receiving the love she deserves. (came in with Wanda, can be placed separately)

WANDA Female | Approximately 6–12 Months Old | 26 lbs | Heartworm Negative Wanda is a sweet and friendly young girl who enjoys the company of both people and other dogs. She is affectionate, adaptable, and would fit well into many different home environments. Wanda’s gentle personality and easygoing nature make her an excellent candidate for fostering or adoption. (came in with Winnie, can be placed separately)

SPARKLE Female | Approximately 6–8 Months Old | 30.8 lbs | Heartworm Negative Sparkle’s story is one of resilience and hope. She arrived at Animal Control in rough condition, but she has been healing beautifully and her coat is growing back nicely. Despite everything she has endured, Sparkle remains incredibly sweet and loving. She enjoys carrying pinecones and sticks on her walks and adores attention from other dogs and people. This precious girl is ready for a fresh start and deserves a family who will show her the kindness she has always deserved.

NOW HIRING: PERSONAL SHADOW & GARDEN ASSISTANT 🚨

​Are you lonely? Do you look at your shadow and think, "Man, I wish this was an 8-pound terrier mix instead"? Do you need a supervisor for your plant-watering routine?
​Meet Rusty, your future Velcro dog!

​Applicant Profile: 1.5 years old, 8–9 lbs of pure love, and a certified Expert Napper.

​Rusty’s Resume Highlights:

​Social Butterfly: Loves kids, great with other dogs, and completely unbothered by cats (he’s chill like that).

​Spa Day Champ: Sits like a perfect gentleman for baths and haircuts. ✂️🛁

​Special Talent: Will aggressively "help" you play with the water while you water the plants. 💦🌱

​The Fine Print: Rusty is a professional cuddler, which means he takes his job seriously. He hates missing out on the action, doesn't love being alone, and will sing you the song of his people (howling) if he’s crated. Because of this, his dream home has another dog buddy to keep him company OR a human who works from home/is around most of the day.

​Training & Medical status: He’s housebroken but might have a little accident here or there while learning your routine. He's up to date on shots (getting a quick booster on 7/11) and gets the big snip-snip (neutered) on 7/29.

​Apply to be Rusty's forever best friend today! 🐾❤️

We need your help!! We are working with a southern shelter that is desperate to find rescue placement for the following pups.

These dogs ARE on the euthanize list!! If you ever wanted to try fostering, we would be so grateful. It truly SAVES LIVES.

If you are interested in fostering any of these pups, please comment or reach out. If you are a new foster, please visit our website to apply: https://papitstop.org/foster or email Dave, our foster coordinator, at [email protected].

Most of these pups will we ready for transport by mid-July, but ONLY if we place a hold on them. Travis is ready for transport immediately. If no hold is placed, they will remain on the euthanize list.

‼️URGENT DOGS IN NEED OF PLACEMENT‼️

🚨 JAZZY Female | 6 Months Old | 31 lbs | Heartworm Negative Jazzy is a playful, friendly puppy with so much potential. She gets along well with other dogs and loves social interaction. Like many young dogs, she is still learning manners but is eager to please and responds positively to guidance. Unfortunately, Animal Control cannot provide the enrichment and exercise that an active puppy needs. With proper training and structure, Jazzy has all the ingredients to become an incredible companion. Jazzy is a typical hyper pup. She has not had the opportunity to play with toys are other pups and very much needs a home that will exercise and socialize her. She is VERY high on the euthanize list.

🚨 LEVI Male | Approximately 1–2 Years Old | 49 lbs | Heartworm Negative Levi is a handsome yellow Labrador mix with a calm, gentle, and exceptionally sweet temperament. He walks well on leash, is easygoing around other dogs, and has the kind of personality that wins people over immediately. Levi is the definition of a good dog who deserves a safe place to land.

🚨 TRAVIS (26lbs) & TAYLOR (25lbs) Heartworm Negative 6 months These adorable puppies are still very young and would adapt well to almost any environment. They are at the perfect age to thrive in rescue, foster, or adoptive homes.

🚨 WINNIE (32lbs) & WANDA (26lbs) Females | Approximately 6–12 Months Old | Heartworm Negative Winnie and Wanda are friendly, affectionate young dogs who do well with other dogs and would adjust easily to many different home settings. Winnie especially enjoys greeting staff and volunteers and loves giving hugs. Both girls have sweet personalities and enjoy spending time with canine companions.

🚨 LOTTIE Female | 2–3 Years Old | Around 30 lbs Heartworm Negative Lottie may be a Pit Bull Terrier/Boston Terrier mix and is a smaller-sized girl with the cutest oversized ears. She can be a little shy initially, but once she feels comfortable, she is incredibly sweet and affectionate. Lottie enjoys cuddling, spending time with other dogs, baths, walks, and relaxing with her people. Since arriving at Animal Control, her confidence has grown tremendously. She has a playful, goofy side but would likely be happiest curled up on the couch with her family. Due to limited public exposure, she has unfortunately received very little interest despite being a wonderful dog. Lottie has been in the shelter since March and NEEDS a placement asap. Her time is running out. Note: She needs a patient foster. She arrived at the shelter very shut down, but has come out of her shell a lot in the past months. She may need a decompression period after transport.

🚨 Sparkle (6-8 months) 30.8lbs Heartworm negative Sparkle came in found by animal control in pretty rough shape. Her fur has been coming in nicely and she is healing. Sparkle loves to carry pinecones in her mouth or a stick on her walk. She loves attention from other dogs and she is just a very sweet little girl. Sparkle came in with her brother Truman and he has now been placed with another shelter. Sparkle now is waiting for either adoption or placement at another shelter or rescue.
