Name: Carter
Gender: Male Breed: Lab X Age: 3 yrs (approx) Size: Large Rescue Story: I was rescued from a construction site with my brother. I am believed to be from a rural area. Dogs: Yes! Kids: No! Cats: Yes! Are you looking for the Hobbs to your Calvin? The Pooh Bear to your Christopher Robin? Look no further! I present to you the handsome and Clifford-look-a-like, Carter! Currently standing at a fluffy 95lbs, Carter is loyalty incarnate. He just wants to be by your side whether youre enjoying a nice afternoon stroll or whipping up something edible in the kitchen. He will gladly offer his aid in the latter and generously compliment your cooking efforts (regardless of result). Carter comes with your usual bag of tricks and good manners including sitting at the door for his feet to be wiped before entering. A prince amongst dogs! He is trained as a professional cuddler and foot warmer, perfect for our cold winter days. In return for years of unconditional love and hugs, Carter only requires the usage of your couch and room in your heart. He has a particular love for fine Italian leather but if you only have microfibre, it won't break his heart. He isn't high maintenance like that. A quiet and calm lifestyle best suits Carter, along with the understanding that meeting new people and entering new environments take time, effort and careful introductions. Carter will also do well with an older, calm and confident medium-large dog who can help show him the ropes and be a steady guide, but not necessary. He is generally great around all dogs but I'm afraid cats and other small non-doggos (including tiny human spawn) are not compatible. You're not perfect and neither is Carter, but what's important is that you're perfect for each other. So don't wait, swipe right! Your new BFF is within sight! ****Necessary small print: new family must commit to on-going force free training and proper introduction techniques to new humans and the use of a muzzle in all public situations/new meetings. Carter is currently on a weight-loss diet and can healthily stand to lose another 19-15 lbs to achieve optimum weight. Carter stands at 95lbs approximately but sees himself as a 10lb white shih tzu*** Interested in adopting me? Apply today! http://www.pawsinneedanimalrescue.com/apply-to-adopt-a-dog.html |

Name: Swifty
Gender: Male DOB: December 23, 2017 Size: LARGE to XLARGE Breed: Pyrenees X Kids: Yes! Dogs: Yes! Cats: Yes! Rescue story: I was born into care. Hi! My name is Swifty - my foster parents named me that because of my unique 'wing-like' markings on my back. My mom is Sandy! I am currently being fostered with my brother, Latch, and we get along quite well with the resident dog and cat! I like to sit and watch you, but I also love to cuddle. I am doing excellent with my potty training and I am crate trained, so once the vet says I am ok to be adopted out I will require someone who is patient and willing to help me continue learning the basics, who can commit to continuing my positive reinforcement training, and who can feed me 3x/day until the vet says I'm big enough to start eating only twice a day. ** Enrollment with a force free trainer will be mandatory with my adoption due to my puppy energy!** Apply to Adopt me Today! https://www.pawsinneedanimalrescue.com/apply-to-adopt-a-dog.html |
Buster-Accepting Applications
only dog foster home needed!
|
Name: Buster
Sex: Male Breed: Chesapeake Retriever X Age: 6 years Energy level: medium Kids: No Cats: No Dogs No Rescue Story: Owner Surrender Hi there! The name is Buster! I'm a 6-year old, 100 lb Chesapeake Retriever looking to find my forever family. I was previously an acreage dog but now I'm a city slicker that enjoys walks around the neighbour, playing fetch and destroying all the stuffies available. I didn't get walked very much by my previous family but I am good on leash and know how to stay, sit and heel. Because I didn't get much interaction with other dogs growing up I want to ignore them on walks and don't go out of my way to say hi. My foster family has muzzle trained me so that if a dog unexpectedly approaches me on a walk everyone is safe. I currently live in a town house with no backyard, but because I am on a consistent schedule I don't have accidents in the house and gladly wait for my foster parents to return from this thing called "work." Although I'm a big guy I am a HUGE cuddle bug and will gladly take up 75% of the bed and allow you to sleep around me. The retriever instinct in me is strong - so if you are relaxing on the couch I will be bringing you offerings of stuffed toys begging for you to 'Netflix and Fetch' with me. If I sound like the perfect guy for you please don't hesitate to ask about me! ** Enrollment with a force free trainer will be mandatory with my adoption! I also have slight arthritis starting and will require supplements in the future** Apply to Adopt me Today! https://www.pawsinneedanimalrescue.com/apply-to-adopt-a-dog.html |
Sammy & Prim (Bonded pair)-Accepting applications
Names: Sammy (short hair) + Prim (long hair)
Gender: Females
Breed: Chi X
Age: 3 yrs
Size: Small
Energy level: Medium
Rescue Story: I was given up by my owners due to allergies.
Dogs: Yes! but Prim can be weary of new dogs at first.
Kids: Yes!
Cats: Yes! Sammy likes to chase them at first but eventually gets used to them.
Hello my name is Prim! and the larger of the two dogs you see in this picture and the other is my Sister Sammy. Don’t mind her if she doesn’t react to you calling her name because she is deaf. However Sammy doesn’t let that get in the way of her doing her dog thing and our human foster parents say for the most part she behaves like any other dog.We are three year old chihuahua cross and my foster parents think there is some terrier in use because of our energy. We would be considered high energy dogs because we want run a lot. Our foster parents say we are very affectionate dogs that are constantly looking for our humans to get snuggles with. We are very well house trained and never had an accident inside. Our human foster parent let us sleep in their beds. However our human foster parents though don’t trust us to be off leash at all. I have a habit when I am out to be so excited by sniffing at things that I go off on my own and I completely ignore my human’s calls to come back. Also my Human has gone on to call me the “Destroyer of Toys” as my chewing has destroyed several toys that needed to get thrown out. Me and my sister are both kennel trained as will go willing when my humans have to go out of the house. My human suspect that if we were left out I might chew furniture and I think they might be right.
Also me and my sister are working on reactiveness. For those who don’t know, it means when me and my sister meet somebody or something new we become very excited. Bark a lot, and if you didn’t know better appear to be very aggressive (but we aren’t). However after we calm down we become very sociable. After our reactive phase we interact very well with dogs and new people. We are currently working with my foster human on this and my forever home would need to continue this. Also when we are reactive we could set off other dogs and possibly intimidate people who aren’t used to dogs. So our forever home would be best someone who has had experience with dogs or who is willing to commit to work with a trainer after our adoption.
Hi this Sammy! As Prim mentioned I am deaf. Though my human says that there are only a couple of things that are effected because of it. Firstly I don’t hear cues to let me know that I should stop barking. What this means is I can go barking longer then I need to. However my human has gone to stomping the floor with their heel to get my attention and sometime that works.Secondly I take a lot longer to warm up to people but when I do I become very clingy. Thirdly with out hearing, I do a lot of following of my human to see what they are up to. Other then that I am as cuddly and loving as my sister. Also one last note. Me and my sister are inseparable. I use my sister as my ears. My sister also lets me eat first and comes to me when I make a sound. We also wrestle each other quite a bit. We are considered a “bonded Pair” and I am told by our humans that Paw In Need will only adopt us out as a pair. I am not leaving my sister behind!

You can probably see that I have a lot of love to give from my sweet smile. You can probably see that I’ve had a rough life from my scars. You can probably also see how much I need you because you are reading this post on a rescue site. I’m a senior dog. I have hypothyroidism and I’ve come into care in hopes of finding a Furever family to call my own for the golden years of my life. I love to cuddle and follow you everywhere. I like to dig holes in the yard and go for short walks. I am a typical pyr and can be stubborn and protective of my people! Foster momma tells me I’m the best foster girl she has ever had because I have so much love to give, I am a dream on leash, take my pills well, am house trained, and beautiful. I am looking for a family who likes all that I have to offer. They can have a cat, kids, a lizard... Whatever they like, just not another dog! I am so scared of dogs after all the attacks I’ve suffered (just look at my scars), I just want to be the only dog. I can also get sad and lonely when my people leave, so I would love a home where someone is home with me often! Is my family out there? Are you my family or do you want to foster me while I look for them? It’s hard to be an old gal looking for a new family, competing with puppies, but I promise you, you won’t be sorry for choosing me. I will fill your life with happiness in these golden years of mine. Let’s live them out together. I have lots of ideas for how to make them the best years of my life, and yours. Yours drooly, Jesse 💜 ** Medical: I have hypothyroidism ** Interested in adopting me?

Cats: Untested Dogs: I would LOVE a medium-large playmate with similar energy! Hi! My name is Barut! I was surrendered to Paws In Need so I could find a furever family who was willing to commit to puppy training with me (I LOVE to learn new things & LOVE food *hint hint*) I was initially residing in a kennel with other dogs until a foster home opened up. My foster parents say that I'd be best placed in a home with older kids because I am so clumsy being a huge puppy & I remind them of Tigger from Winnie the Pooh except I'm currently 57lbs of pure puppy and not a tiger haha! I take treats very good from a hand, but sometimes I'm so excited that I forget to be gentle. Being a puppy is hard work - I need to learn things like 'stay,' 'lay down,' 'touch,' 'drop,' etc. (And here I thought being cute was all I needed!). Oh, and get this - did you know dogs aren't supposed to check out what's on the counter?? Who knew!! Anyways, they are still learning so much about me, so that's all I can tell you now! If you are looking for a handsome fella like me, and can go to force free training so I can learn all the awesome things a puppy needs, have patience & have oodles of love to give, then I'm your man! ** Enrollment with a force free trainer will be mandatory with my adoption due to my puppy energy** Apply to Adopt me Today! https://www.pawsinneedanimalrescue.com/apply-to-adopt-a-dog.html |
