Eva
Eva’s owner brought her to the shelter because she did not get along with the other dog in the home. We are recommending for her to be in a home without other dogs and a secure fence. She knows basic commands like “sit” and “wait.” She likes toys and kennels, and she loves going for walks. She behaves very well on a leash. She likes being beside people and receiving affection. Eva is approximately 6 or 7 years old.
Hyna
Hyna’s owners could no longer care for her due to their busy schedule. Hyna is approximately 9 months old. Hyna is full of energy and in need of an active home where she will get plenty of exercise. She is still a puppy and needs to learn basic commands and complete her house training. She can be a bit shy until she knows you, then she is very affectionate.
Joy
Joy was left with a family for three weeks, and her owner never came back. They could not keep her, so she ended up at the shelter. She is a nice dog, full of energy, and loves people. We were told she behaves well around other dogs and that she jumps fences, so she would need a secure yard. She loves sitting next to people. Joy behaves well on leash and seems to be house-trained.

Joe & Pogger
Pogger is 2 years old, and Joe, his father, is 6 years old. The foster family said that Joe is a trained hunting dog, but it is unclear if Pogger is. Pogger does know basic commands and is very well mannered. PAWS would like to adopt both dogs out together, but if you are only looking for one dog, you need to call the PAWS office for more information and to set up a meet and greet. Both dogs are in foster care.
