LILY LOVING LIFE!


Another happy ending for a PAWS pup! Lily came to our rescue in May 2011. Being a black dog, Lily had very little chance of adoption here - as for whatever reason - black dogs are overlooked especially larger breed black dogs.

Lily was a lucky girl - and ended up heading to our rescue partner in New England last July. We just received the following update and pictures from her adoptive family:

Lily is doing great! She has grown quite a bit since we got her and has made friends with our chickens and horses. She is so much better with strangers. She is still tentative at first but settles right in quickly once she realizes they are not a threat to her. We adore her…I think she finally feels like she has a home now. I have attached a few pictures…they were from this past late fall (all I have on my work computer). Teresa

Thank you Teresa for giving Lily such a great home!

HAPPY UPDATE - ZAC!


We love to receive happy updates on our rescued pups! We received the following pictures and narrative from Zac's adoptive family.

Zac is doing great. We didn't change his name because we thought he had enough to contend with adjusting to a new home.

He is in his sixth week of obedience training and doing wonderfully. He weighs about 44 lbs and has grown, but I don't think that he will get a whole lot bigger. We sent a DNA sample to a lab in Nebraska that will tell us what his "mix" is and are awaiting the results.

He is the most affectionate animal we have ever seen and still, despite his size, thinks that he is a lap dog. He has to touch, lean, or lay on one. He is not "an alpha male" and doesn't want to be top dog. He just wants to love you and be with you.

He gets lots of attention and seems to need it. Zac has bonded with one of the cats and they sleep on my bed. With the other cat, there's a wary truce, although when she is in a bad mood, she chases him around the house.

Zac was easy to house break and stays in the yard, even though we don't have a fence. I am always out there with him, but when I get involved in a project and he disappears, all I have to do is call him and he comes running immediately.

We adore him and feel terribly lucky to have found a dog who is so in tune with us and so loving. Thank you! Anne


Zac came to PAWS as a puppy - it is so rewarding to see him grown, happy, healthy and loved! Thank you to our rescue partners for finding such great homes for our dogs and to Anne for giving Zac everything he needs and deserves.

WELCOME MAX!


Max has found a foster home!


As most of you know - we have been begging and pleading for someone to foster sweet Max for over a month now. He was at risk of being brought to a shelter with little chance of adoption if our begging proved unsuccessful.

Thank goodness one doggie angel answered our pleas!

Max is now safe in a wonderful indoor foster home. He will be neutered this week and then scheduled to start Heartworm treatment once he has recovered! Max already has a rescue in New England prepared to take him once treatment is complete. All good things lie ahead for this wonderful dog.

Max's foster mom adores him! He sleeps right by her bed at night and enjoys their walks together during the daytime.

Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word about Max. We are so happy to have him in our rescue.


Handsome Max!


Max still needs funding for his Heartworm treatment (estimated cost $300). Please consider making a donation towards his vetting.
