🎃🐾 A big thank you to the Rockport Public Library and everyone involved in the Halloween Parade for inviting PAWS to be part of the fun!

🥕💛 MEET MILEY! 💛🥕

At 15 years young, Miley is proof that senior girls still have SO much love to give! 🐾 This sweet girl has the biggest smile, the cutest little bunny hops, and one very important love language: CARROTS! 🥹🥕

Miley came to PAWS through no fault of her own after her family lost their home, and now she’s looking for a cozy place to spend her golden years. She’s good with kids and has lived with both cats and dogs. She can be a little selective about her canine friends, but with the right match, she has so much love to share!

Miley deserves a family who will spoil her, appreciate her adorable little hops, and make sure she never runs out of carrots. ❤️ Could you be the soft landing this special senior girl is looking for?

📍 Get your application in and come meet Miley at PAWS Animal Adoption Center in Camden, Maine!

Please share to help Miley find her forever home! 🏡

A big thank you to Ropes for Rescues! ❤️🐾

PAWS was the 470th rescue to receive a donation through their Ropes for Rescues Recycling Program! Thanks to our friend Marco and a partnered REI store, we received these awesome handmade dog leashes made from recycled climbing ropes.

The program gives retired climbing ropes a second life by turning them into durable dog leads, while donating 10% of the leashes made to animal rescues.

Leo got to help us show them off, and we think it’s safe to say he loves them! 🐶💚

We’re so grateful for this thoughtful donation and can’t wait to put these leashes to good use with our dogs.

Check out their work at www.ropesforrescues.com!
