About Pappy (LOVS)

 

Pappy was an owner surrender to the rescue. PAP didn’t receive much information, but it’s believed that he came from a bad situation due to his wariness of people and the fact that he is slow to trust. He has made a great deal of progress with his anxiety and is learning to trust people and feel safe. He is terrified of children and doesn’t always like to be picked up unless he initiates it first.

Pappy can be slow to trust new people in the home and can be a bit defensive, until he learns that he is safe and loved. He begins to show trust and will initiate more contact, then he learns to fall in love with new people. He will allow people to pet him, hold him, and rub his belly once he finds them trustworthy. He loves attention! Once comfortable, he likes to be the center of attention and will have no problem taking in all the love and attention that he can be showered with!

Pappy enjoys relaxing on the sofa or in his bed, cuddling or sitting with family on the sofa, sun bathing and spending time outside when the weather is nice. He does enjoy occasionally playing with toys and other dogs. He often carries his favorite toy with him and takes it into bed with him. He loves blankets and likes to bury and hide in the blanket to take naps.

Pappy is in the LOVS Program (Lifetime of Veterinary Support) with Paws Across Pittsburgh and will continually receive donor support towards his veterinary expenses!

Albert is an approximately 3 year old, 13 lb. little shihtzu mix gentleman who was found running in the middle of a four lane highway. His foster family loves his sweet, calm, and gentle personality and can't wait to help him find his forever family in a nice quiet home where he will thrive!  Albert was crate trained and potty trained when he was found. He has been fully vetted and neutered since coming into foster. He appears to have some environmental allergies (eye discharge) and has some crooked bottom teeth that the vet says may need to be removed someday. Albert doesn't shed much but will need routine grooming.  Albert loves quiet, cozy time, and will curl up on the couch with his foster mom and foster dad at any time of the day. Albert seems to really enjoy being held by his humans. He gets along great with new people he's met, including several polite children from two to eight years old, and has done extremely well with all other dogs he's encountered. Albert has not yet met a cat that we are aware of. Albert has bonded really nicely with his foster brother Sammy (1 year old 25 lb rescue poodle mix) and enjoys playing with him and going on walks. Albert is very good in public and is super well behaved at various coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants. He generally curls up on his blankie and goes to sleep. He's been on one vacation with his foster family and is happy to ride in the car in either his crate or his seatbelt harness. Alberts dislikes include being cold, having his face washed, getting his sweater put on, and getting his nails done at the groomer.  Aside from spending time with his foster family, Albert loves three things most of all: Curling up in a nest of blankets, his daily Greenie, and belly rubs.  Albert would be the best fit with a family who is home a lot. (He is extremely well behaved while his foster parents are working from home.) Albert would be great for someone who travels and would like to take him with them.  He would be suitable as an only dog or with another low energy dog-friendly dog that he could snuggle and play with. Albert can't wait to find his forever home!  show less

Sweet Autumn Momma did not have the best start at life, but she is making up for lost time now.  Autumn is approximately 4 years old, possibly younger, and 17 lbs.  She came into rescue with her five 8 week old puppies, and was incredibly attached to them.  She is still a timid and nervous little lady, but she has gone from having her tail tucked between her legs to wagging it nonstop as she prances around the house and yard following around her favorite humans, specifically her foster dad.  She loves to be snuggled up with her foster family, and is great with kids.  She will definitely take some time to adjust to a new setting and family, but once she does, she is the best pup and is so lovable.  She at first seemed to be unsure how to play with toys, but she has started chewing on her bones and rolling around with toys.  She also LOVES treats!  She doesn't mind other dogs if they give her space at first, and she can often be found watching them play from a distance.  She would do well as an only dog, or with dogs on the calmer side.  Autumn is housebroken and crate trained, and is UTD on vaccines.  She was not a huge fan of the leash or walks at first, but she is learning that walks can be fun.  She needs a patient, compassionate, loving family (or person) that will let her take the time and space that she needs to feel comfortable and at home. Once she is comfortable, she is PERFECT.  If you are looking for a little best friend who has so much love to give, apply for Autumn Momma today at Paws Across Pittsburgh. show less

Reintroducing Lyla (Formerly Biscotti) a 20 month old super sweet cuddly girl with a rough start to life at no fault of her own! Lyla thought she had found her furever home, but she was returned to Paws a few months later. She is looking for a fresh start with someone who will give her the structure, training and the boundaries she needs after having so much inconsistency the first couple years of her life. Lyla absolutely LOVES her humans and will build the strongest bond that will last a lifetime with anyone that shows her kindness (or feeds her). She may come off shy at first but once she feels comfortable, she will give anyone more love than they could ever ask for (no seriously, there are never enough pets and doggie kisses for this lover girl). Lyla is crate trained and potty trained (impressive right?!) She is doing great with her leash training and other commands… Lyla is a people pleaser and is very smart! Lyla does a great job entertaining herself while her foster mom works from home. She lays in her bed without a peep and enjoys some alone time in her crate throughout the day. Lyla loves her toys, bones, car rides and especially playing fetch…she is very fast and athletic! Because Lyla loves her people so much, she can get protective over sharing her human’s attention with other dogs. Though she has done well coexisting with dogs in the past, at this time, Lyla would do best in a single dog home. Are you the one that can give Lyla the love, training, and routine she deserves?!   show less
