Maya​ & LUNA: AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Maya & Luna (bonded pair) - Available for Adoption
Name: Maya and Luna (bonded pair)
Gender: female
DOB: Maya 2011 and Luna 2013 (approx)
Breed: Maya is a pom X and Luna is a Maltese X
Rescue Story: Owner surrender
Good with cats: Yes
Good with Dogs: Yes
Good with kids: yes with proper introductions

My name is Maya and I am the browinish white fluff in the lower part of the picture. I am the resident Floor Queen of my foster parents home. What that means, when I come into a room I will sit myself down and you will have to walk over me as I don’t move. I mostly sit by myself or snuggle with my sister Luna and will occasionally come to you for snuggles, if I so deem you are worthy. Though if you pick me up, I will not refuse to let you snuggle me because I understand how great it is to get a snuggle from me.

My sister Luna, is the white one in the picture. She takes a while to warm up to people, but when she does she is a snuggle monster. She will seek out snuggles at all times of the day and night. She is also a lot of energy and will run around the house quite a bit.
We both love going for walks, however at times the walks will be a bit much for me and you may need to carry me home. However Luna is still learning how to walk in a relaxed manner, and thus you may need help to calm her on her walks. Luna becomes very attached to her humans, and thus she can be defensive if she misreads the situation from her human. Also she is always on the look out for rabbits and would go chasing them down except for that inconvenient thing they call a leash.

I would also mention that we also do rabbit patrol. This is where we check constantly if a rabbit is in our human’s yard by looking out the window. If we find them, we will watch them carefully and patiently through the window and make sure our human know they are there. We also look out for people walking by, and at times we will bark at them also.

We are best suited for a home with a yard so Luna can burn some of that energy. Dog parks are not for us, and although we love a good walk, it can be a bit much if it is our only form of exercise.
 
We look forward to meeting you! Apply today!

Age: 8 years
Energy: medium
Good with cats: no
Good with dogs: no
Good with kids: no
Breed: shepherd x
Rescue story: owner surrender

Hi! I’m Piper! I am a sweet girl when you get to know me. I’m anxious, so my vet is helping me with my anxiety and I’m trying out some calming medication to see if it helps me to be less worried on walks. Right now, I’m scared when I meet other dogs on walks, so I put on a show and bark and make a scene to scare them off. My foster is working on refreshing my leash training in the yard where it’s less scary for me. I like that because I have to think but I don’t have to worry as much.
Now for the good stuff! I’m great in the house! I don’t make messes or chew things I shouldn’t.
I love toys! I also love when people play with me. When I lived in my previous home, I was able to play with my people a lot and I really like to play with independent toys or interactive toys. Either is great with me.
When my family started to grow, I started to get nervous of the new little humans in the house. The unpredictable noises and crawling, and playing was pretty scary for me so I acted out and nipped our toddler. I know I shouldn’t have, but I hadn’t lived with little kids before and so I panicked. I really am looking for a home where it’s nice and calm.

Do you think you’d like to play with me? How about snuggle up on the couch and watch some movies? Oh! I know, we can work on training together! I love to please and work for rewards! I promise to be your best friend and love you to the moon and back. Apply for me today and you’ll see how great I really am!

*all dogs require registration with a force free trainer as part of their adoption*

Adoption Fee: $400 (All of this will be put toward training to help offset costs.)

bb & Goober-Available for Adoption - Accepting Applications

Picture
Names: Goober (blonde pom chi x) & Bb (shih tzu x)
Sex: neutered male & spayed female
Ages: Approximately 10 years each
Energy level: medium-low

Good with: everything and everyone

Hi guys! We’re Bb and Goober! We’re a package deal so our bio is getting posted together. You can’t have one without the other.
We’re a senior pair of sweeties who love to be snuggled, go for walkies, and play. We love cozy beds, wearing cute clothes, playing with our friends at Paws at Play, and all in all being spoiled dogs! Yup, we’re spoiled and we can’t stop/won’t stop living the good life!

We both need regular grooming visits every 8 weeks, so if spa days aren’t in the budget, we aren’t for you! We like to get our nails done and our hair did! I mean, we have a look to maintain.
Now, we’ll be upfront, we aren’t perfectly potty trained. In our previous home, we were loved but our bathroom routine was confusing for us. We are still getting used to having regular access to outside and we’re doing well with a routine in place. Just please know that we are trying our best, but we need to have an owner who is dedicated to helping us learn and understanding that it’s not our fault that we don’t know how just yet how to be 100% successful in the house training department.
If you think you’d like to give us the wonderful home we both deserve and are committed yo giving two seniors the opportunity to shine in their golden years, apply today.

Adoption Fee: $800

vada-accepting applications

Name: Vada
Sex: Spayed Female
Age: 7 years
Energy level: medium

Good with dogs: Yes (socially but Vada does not want to share her home with other dogs)
Good with Cats: yes (Vada is fine with cats but does not want to live with other animals)
Good with kids: Yes (a home with kids who respect dogs would be great)

House trained: yes
Crate trained: yes

Hi! I’m Vada! I came into care with Paws in Need when I was surrendered by my family because I started to guard my mom from the other pets in the house and it made it very difficult to ensure all of us fur babies were safe. It was very hard for my family to say goodbye, but they stay in touch with me through my foster family at Paws at Play and I know they loved me to the moon and back.
My foster parents at Paws at Play say I look like the sweetest sugar glider you’ve ever seen. I do look pretty sweet, so I’ll take the compliment!
I love to cuddle my people, go for walks, play at dog daycare and explore while on adventures. I definitely want to go hike some trails with my new family, camp, and go for some really awesome walks. I bond very closely to my people and am known to bond really close with one person in my home. When I do get comfortable and settle into my home, I do tend to protect my special person from other animals and people. That’s why I’m seeking out a home where I can be the center of the universe… I mean only pet.
If you are searching for a perfect movie watching companion, an enthusiastic hiking partner, a great listener, and all in all a wonderful best friend, consider adopting me. I promise to be your whole world if you promise to let me be yours.

Size: Large (50lbs+)

Rescue Story: Owner Surrender

Good with Kids? I would prefer a home without young children
Good with Dogs? Yes! I am very good with other dogs
Good with Cats? Yes with dog Savvy cats as I can bark at them sometimes

Hello I'm Braxton! I am a sweet young guy who is looking for his furever home! I love and do very well meeting new people and animals. I love to play, run around and am currently enjoying playing with my friends at Paws at Play where I am fostered. I like going on walks, but need to work on my leash skills. I travel very well in cars and am fully house trained. I am a little nervous about some things like baths, nail trims and meeting others while on my leash.  I am a curious guy that likes to see what is on counters, but am very smart and can be trained. I am crate trained, so when my people leave the house, I'm cool with going in there to rest. I like company and will usually lay on the floor near you, sometimes will snuggle on the couch for a bit. I would prefer a home where someone is home more often! If you are looking for a cute, loving, playful addition to your home; look no further!

**Behavioral:  Enrollment with a force free trainer will be mandatory to help me with my leash manners.

**Medical: I am on daily anti-anxiety medication**

Rescue Story: I came into care when the plans to buy a home with a yard didn't work out.  They wanted me to have the best life and I really need a yard to play in, in addition to my walkies.

 Hi! I'm Socks! I am a VERY sweet loving puppy who is looking for his furever home! I love and do very well meeting new people and animals. I love to play, run around, fetch and am currently enjoying playing with another dog in the house. I sit and give a paw, travel very well in cars, love being outside and have been great about doing my business outside. I am still a puppy so sometimes things will scare me and I can shy away. Also, I am still learning manners, like what to chew, not to chew, but I am very smart and can be trained. I am still clumsy like a puppy and have the cutest run when playing fetch. My current foster does not put me in a crate, so I will need a bit more for crate training. I like to be around people, but have not destroyed the house when the humans are away. I like company and will usually lay on the floor near you, sometimes will snuggle on the couch for a bit. If you are looking for a cute, sweet, loving, playful addition to your home; look no further!

Milo - AvAilable for Adoption

Name: Milo
Sex: Male Neutered
Breed: Collie Poodle x
D.O.B: 04/24/2022
Energy level: Average
Good with Kids?: Older kids & Teens yes
Goodwith Cats?: Milo does not have much expereince with cats but is not aggressive with any other animals so we think he would do well in a home with cats.
Good with Dogs?: Yes! I NEED A HOME WITH ANOTHER DOG
Rescue Story: Hello! My name is Milo!  I came into care when my family realized that they could not meet my needs.  I am a very shy and scared puppy who needed help with my anxiety.  The folks at Paws brought me to Ambleside Veterinary Hospital where the doctor decided it was wise to start me on anxiety medication so I can learn and not be so scared all the time.  It has helped me settle and now I am attending Paws at Play to learn about meeting people from my dog friends there.  I learn so much from what my friends do, so much so that it is mandatory that I go to a home with another dog who can help show me the ropes.  I love to play with my dog friends and when I learn to trust a person I am the biggest baby cuddle bug around.  I am looking for a family with another dog, time to help me learn how to be a confident and comfortable boy, and a calm household where I can feel safe and loved.  Do you think we could be a match? If so, apply today!
