We couldn't be happier for Evie! She met her new family this weekend, and today she went HOME!

She's going to be getting lots of attention, and we're certain she'll be a great companion dog. Evie is also going to be enjoying regular walks, family outings and playtime with her canine cousin! Thank you all for your likes and shares, let's find more PAWS' dogs and cats home for the holidays!

Believe it or not...still waiting! We can't blame Evie for feeling a little down. A couple of her friends have gone to chill out in foster homes while she continues to wait in the kennel for her forever family to find her. We think Evie is simply perfect in every way. Evie likes playtime with other dogs. She is good with children. She enjoys meeting new people. Evie was a superstar at a local radio station, Stepping Stones Museum for Children and our very own, Reading to Rescues. Evie loves meeting new people. She walks great on leash and is intelligent and attentive. She's a striking girl who wants someone to recognize her for the special girl she is. Evie loves cuddle and snuggle time too. Please help Evie find her place to shine ❤️ A delightful dog like this shouldn't be sitting in a shelter simply because of her breed!

All dressed up and looking for a place to go! Meet Sammy. He's a 7 year old Miniature Pinscher mix who's looking for a family to love. Sammy is a low-key, easygoing guy who enjoys making new friends. He loves snuggling, burrowing under blankets and just sharing good times together. Sammy walks well on leash, knows some basic commands and is up for learning some new tricks. He would prefer an adult only home or a home with older children where he can be the center of attention.

Casper did not want to be left behind on #PetFriday! He was also ADOPTED today! Casper went to an experienced and loving home. He's looking forward to traveling with Mom and Dad, play time in the country and, surely, lots of cuddles.

Wonderful to see so many people at PAWS interested in adopting on #PetFriday! Gunner was a definite beneficiary! He went to a beagle savvy home with a prior PAWS adopter.
