Meet SPICE! 🐾

Sugar and Spice and EVERYTHING Nice! 💕 Spice is a sweet, playful, cuddly girl who absolutely loves people and dogs. At just two years old, she is already crate trained and house trained, and she’s ready to find her forever family!

Spice is still working on her leash and walking skills, but she’s making great progress. Walking with a buddy has been especially helpful as she learns the ropes. With a little patience and consistency, she’ll be ready for all kinds of adventures!

Spice could be happy as an only dog, but she would also thrive with a resident canine buddy. She loves to play and would enjoy having a four-legged friend to romp around with.

As for cats, we’re not quite sure yet. Spice doesn’t appear to have a strong prey drive, though, and she would much rather chase a ball, toy, or anything else you’re willing to throw!

Because Spice loves to run and play, kids around seven and older would probably be the best fit for her. She’s an energetic girl who would love a family that can keep up with her enthusiasm.

Car rides are still a little scary for Spice, but once she’s safely settled in the backseat, she does just fine. With time and positive experiences, she’ll hopefully become a more confident traveler.

Looking for a walking, running, or hiking buddy? Spice may be your girl! Once she masters her leash skills, she’ll be ready to hit the trails and enjoy all the adventures life has to offer. She has plenty of energy, but after she gets her playtime in, she’s perfectly happy to curl up with her person and chill.

Spice is sweet, silly, affectionate, and full of fun. She’s ready to bring a whole lot of sugar, spice, and everything nice into someone’s life! ❤️🐶

💖 MEET POLLY! 🐾

This adorable 20-lb pup is sweet, playful, gentle, and eager to learn—and she’s ready to find her forever family! 🥰

✨ Polly is a little gem who:

🐾 Loves exploring and choosing her favorite toys

🐾 Has a blast running, wrestling, and playing with doggy friends

🐾 Has fun puppy energy but knows how to settle down

🐾 Takes treats gently, even from children

🐾 Sleeps quietly beside her person

🐾 Goes into her crate like a champ

🐾 Is curious, responsive, and eager to learn

Polly may need a little time to warm up in new places, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet, loving personality shines. 💕 She’s already discovering that the world is a wonderful place—and she’d love a family to help her keep building confidence.

Polly is looking for someone who will cherish her playful puppy spirit, guide her as she grows, and give her the love and security she deserves. 🐶❤️

📍 Adoptable through PAW in Maryland, DC, Northern VA & Southern PA.

Could you be the person Polly has been waiting for? Give this sweet girl the forever home she deserves and let her discover life by your side. ❤️🐾

💛 FOSTER PLEA FOR SABLE 💛

Sable doesn’t care if it’s forever or just for now—he just needs someone to open their heart and home.

A foster home gives him a break from the shelter, a chance to relax, learn, and show everyone what an incredible dog he truly is. An adopter gives him the forever family he’s been waiting for.

This sweet, goofy Lab has so much love to give. He’ll greet you with pure joy, happily accept every belly rub, and be your loyal companion through life’s everyday moments.

Please don’t let Sable spend another day wondering when his turn will come.

🏡 Foster and save a life.
❤️ Adopt and change two lives—his and yours.

If you can’t foster or adopt, please share. The right person may be just one share away.

📍 Adoptable through PAW (MD, VA, DC, southern PA)

Warning: may cause excessive smiling and unconditional love 💛🐾

⭐️ADOPT or FOSTER STRIPE⭐️

❤️ Meet Stripe—the cattle dog who’s equal parts genius and comedian!

Stripe is finishing his heartworm recovery and can’t wait to get back to an active lifestyle. He’s looking for an active foster or forever home ready for walks, enrichment, and a dog who always needs a project!

✨ A few things about Stripe:

🐾 Brilliant and curious—he figured out how to thaw a frozen Kong just enough to shake the goodies out!

🐾 Rings a bell to go outside…though sometimes it’s just his “pay attention to me” button. 😉

🐾 Loves long walks, puzzles, chew toys, and crunchy celery.

🐾 If you don’t give him a job, he’ll happily create one!

🐾 Loves shadowing his favorite person and occasionally resting his big head on them for a cuddle. ❤️

Stripe needs a home that understands cattle dogs and can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and purpose.

In return, you’ll get a loyal, hilarious, incredibly smart companion who will keep you laughing—and love you with his whole heart. 🐾

📍 Available through PAW in MD, northern VA, DC, and southern PA.

❤️ Sadie is looking for a FOSTER or FOREVER HOME!

Sadie is a beautiful, energetic little South Carolina girl who has SO much love to give. She was recently returned to PAW through absolutely no fault of her own, and now we’re determined to help her find the home she was always meant to have. 🐾

Sadie is still got a little puppy sparkle in her—she loves to walk, sniff, run, explore, and take in every bit of the world around her. She’s always ready for an adventure and is a great car companion, but she’s just as happy to pause along the way for some pets and cuddles. And if you give her the chance, she’ll happily climb into your lap and cover you in kisses. ❤️

This girl has NEVER met a stranger. She’s energetic, affectionate, treat-motivated, and eager to learn. She’s already house trained and crate trained, knows “sit,” and is working hard on “down.” With treats involved, Sadie is a very willing student! 🥰

She absolutely LOVES her walks and is continuing to work on her leash skills. Because she has plenty of energy and loves to run, a home with a yard would be ideal for her.

Sadie enjoys other dogs, but she prefers one-on-one playdates rather than a whole canine crowd. She likes to make sure everyone is following the rules and can get a little too enthusiastic about “policing” group play. 😂

What Sadie needs most now is someone who will give her the time, patience, exercise, and love to help her truly settle in. After an unexpected change in her life, she deserves a family who will be her forever.

🏡 Can you give Sadie a place to hang her leash—and her heart?

If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate adventure buddy who will adore you right back, Sadie may be your girl.

📍 PAW adopts throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia & Southern Pennsylvania.
