Hi, I’m Bellamy! 🐾

I’m resting up right now and recharging my batteries so I can be on full display for tomorrow’s adoption event at ! My rescue team can’t believe a sweet, 19-week-old pup like me is still looking for a home.

I can be just a tiny bit shy when we first meet, but give me a quick minute and my affectionate, sweet side comes right out. I warm up fast, love making new friends, and I'm so ready to start my new life with a forever family. 💙

Come say hello to me tomorrow!

Meet CJ! 🐶💗

This 1-year-old mixed breed girl is a fun-loving, energetic sweetheart ready to bring endless laughs, cuddles, and tail wags into your home! 🐾

CJ can be a bit shy at first, but with just a little patience, her goofy and playful personality comes shining through. She’s searching for an active family who can match her energy, help build her confidence, and shower her with love. 🥰

In return, she promises a lifetime of adventures, fun, and warm cuddles! 💕🐾

Hi everyone, Jumba here! 🐾

I'm an 8-month-old pup with a big heart and a lot of playtime left in me! I love chasing toys, running around, and living my best puppy life.

New faces make me a little bashful at first, but if you give me just a moment to feel safe, my silly, affectionate side comes right out. I’m eager to learn and just need a loving family to help me grow up big and strong.

Could that be you? Come meet me at the Oxnard shelter! Just send a DM or email to book an appointment. I can’t wait! 🐶❤️

First, THANK YOU. ❤️

Since bringing these three tiny bottle babies into Paw Works, so many of you have donated, shared their story, and cheered them on. We are incredibly grateful. Every bit of support is helping us give these babies the formula, supplies, care, and medical attention they need to grow up strong. 🍼🐶

But now we have a very important question…

WHAT SHOULD WE NAME THEM?! 👀❤️

We have TWO BOYS + ONE GIRL, and we want YOU to help choose their names!

🐾 HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

💙 Make a $25 donation toward their care
💙 Choose a name for one of the three puppies
💙 Put your name choice in the notes section with your donation
💙 Every $25 donation = ONE NAME ENTRY

Want more chances? Every additional $25 donation gives you another entry!

At the end of the week, we’ll randomly select one winning name for each puppy—and those names will officially become theirs! 🥹❤️

So swipe through their photos, meet these three little nuggets, and start thinking…

What would YOU name them? 🐾👇

💙 Donate: www.pawworks.org/donate
💙 PayPal: [email protected]
💙 Venmo: Paw Works (no additional characters)

These babies started their journey with a plea for help.

You helped us answer that plea.

Now let’s give these three little lives names to go with their second chance. 🥹🐾❤️

🐾🤍 Does Charli & Mocha’s Forever Story Starts with You 🤍🐾

Every dog deserves a place to rest their head, but for sweet sisters Charli and Mocha, the road home has been filled with unexpected detours.

Adopted together as puppies, they were returned years later through no fault of their own. They found joy once more with a devoted owner, but were left heartbroken and homeless again when their human unexpectedly passed away.

Now nearly 11 years young, these gentle, affectionate girls are doing great in their foster home—yet what they long for most is a true forever family who will hold them close and never let go. ❤️

Charli and Mocha still have endless love to offer. Because of a history of pancreatitis, they just need a caring home dedicated to keeping them on their special diet so they can thrive!

Ready to double the love in your home with a sweet pair of seniors? You can meet Charli and Mocha at our Oxnard facility by appointment! Not able to adopt right now? Please share their post to help them reach the family they’ve been waiting for.
