Ahsoka is a 12 week old bobtail kitten who tends to be a little shy at first. Because she is shy, she will follow her sister to discover the world around her.  She is coming out of her shell and starting to venture a bit on her own as well. Both kittens make their foster mom laugh every day with their chasing and acrobats when playing with toys.  Nap time is a must after being a playful kitten, and they will curl up together for a snuggle. Ahsoka’s foster mom has seen her transform from a skittish kitten who would run away to being more confident and playful.  Give her some time and she will continue to grow and be as confident as her sister. show less

Apple is an absolute sweetheart! This four month old kitten has had a rough start: rescued from very bad conditions, she almost lost her life to a parasite infestation - but you’d never know it now! She’s the sweetest little bean, loving nothing more than snuggles and pets and playtime. Great with other cats, dogs, kids, and noisy environments, Apple will be a joy to whatever family welcomes her. Loves to give kisses and cuddles, and will not hesitate to commandeer your lap for nap time! Apple is bonded to her sister Storm. The two of them love to wrestle and play-fight almost as much as they love to snuggle. Apple doesn’t like being alone, so Storm helps keep her calm and happy when her humans can’t be around.  show less

Hi! I’m Autumn. I’m a 1.5 year old, 45lb lab/retriever mix (emphasis on the mix!). I came to Pittsburgh from a crowded shelter in WV after being picked up as a stray. I’m a curious girl who loves exploring my new digs! I love playing tug, doing zoomies, and had so much fun when my little human friend threw my toy for me to chase! I’m also pretty good at walking on a leash. Though I’m very active and like to play a lot, I'm learning how to settle down and take a snooze so my foster mom can get some work done. (As long as I get my walks!) You’ll know when I wake up though, because my tail starts wagging as soon as I open my eyes and see my foster family around me! I learned quickly to potty outside the house and can even ring bells to let you know when I need to go! I tolerate my crate, but prefer to snuggle up in my dog bed, so I will need someone who will be patient with me, continue my training, and is home more often than not. I can be vocal when I get excited (talk about a built-in alarm system!), so a house may be best. I haven’t played with any animal friends up close #onlychildlife, but my shelter friends said I’m good with everyone and everything! (Meet and greets are still recommended.) Do you have room in your heart (and your house) for me? I promise that everytime you come home I'll greet you with tail wags and butt wiggles! Apply for me today! show less

Hi everyone! My name is Bailey and I’m looking for my forever home for the holidays! I came into rescue skinny and scared but I quickly came out of my shell and blossomed into a curious, silly, and sweet pup! I have typical puppy energy but am on the laid back side. I get along great with my 3 foster siblings who range in size from 25lbs to 100lbs. I love to romp around and play but also do great at taking cues from my foster siblings if they want to relax. I LOVE my foster mom and I follow her everywhere. At first I was shy, but now I love to snuggle with my foster mom to end the night! I have been wonderful with all adults I meet but have never met a child. However, I am sweet natured and gentle so I believe I would do well in a home with children! I walk wonderfully on a leash for the most part unless I see something that excites me. I’m sure with a little training and patience I would be an amazing walking partner. I love walks!  I have made great strides in my foster home with being crated. When I first came into rescue I felt very unsettled in my crate and wanted to be out with the rest of my foster family. I have learned the crate isn’t that bad and am mostly content as long as I have a bone or something to keep me occupied. I do wonderfully in my crate at night and always wake up with my crate clean!  I am super smart when it comes to potty training and have had very few accidents in the house! I’m not perfect but I know with a good routine and a little patience I will perfect potty training quickly with my forever family!  I am a sweet, snuggly, smart and silly girl who is learning the joys of life and would love nothing more to find my forever family for the holidays! If you think that’s you, please apply! show less

Benjamin is a 4 mo old, 32 lb, male German shepherd mix. True to his breed, he is incredibly loyal and highly intelligent. He is a high energy breed loves to play tug and fetch! He is quickly learning some basic commands and working on leash walking. When he is not playing, he loves to cuddle with his people and is very affectionate! He does great with other dogs, but he chases cats. He is wonderful with kids, although is large and still learning manners so may do best in a home with kids ages 5 and up. He is crate trained and potty trained (although given his age needs to be taken outside frequently). He is the sweetest, most loveable puppy and is going to make his new family so happy! If you have the time and motivation to train Benjamin and offer him a forever, loving home, apply today!  Benjamin is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.  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

Hi - my name is Bobbi and let me tell you a little bit about me!  I am called a low maintenance guy who is gentle, considerate and LOVES everyone and everything I meet.  I still have spunk to show you my zoomies and I bark with joy for daily walks!  I also know how to use the potty outside which you shouldn't be surprised for an old guy like me.  I'm quick to learn the ropes so I should settle in quickly in my new home.  I love to chew on bones and can keep myself entertained for hours so I'm really no trouble! I do have some daily needs but they're easy!  I do need special dog food and daily medication for hypothroidism.  But guess what?!  This will be completely covered by the rescue because I am eligible to be part of the LOVS program!  I am also eligible for the Senior Paws for Seniors Program!  So with me, you get a 2 for 1! I would love to have a new home before Christmas!  All I need is a warm bed and some exercise to help keep this winter weight off.  Do you think I'd be the perfect dog for you?  Please apply for me today! show less

Boss is an Australian Shepherd mix with countless good qualities.  This 2 1/2 year old male is housebroken, crate trained, and knows a variety of  commands.  He likes other dogs, children, and could likely live with cats.  He has made no attempts to interact with the foster's cat but a slow cautious  cat introduction is recommended.  Boss is exuberant about everything in his daily routine and approaches it all with Aussie en!!!ergy.  A fenced yard iand breed experience is preferred.  Boss is an smart dog.  His new owner should be willing to meet his intellectual needs along with his en!!ergy needs.  More advanced training, agility, frisbee, fetch or another athletic dog may accomplish this.  A busy Boss is a happy Boss! show less

Hi my name is Buttons! My foster mom says I'm the best house guest!  The sweetest, most cuddly pup ever! I am housebroken, crate trained,(although, with my puppy energy, would prefer not to be in a crate all day) walk well on a leash and know my basic commands. (sit,paw, lay). I love to chase balls in the yard but still learning how to bring it back. Although, I love my foster human siblings, my foster mom says I would do best in a house with older kids. I do love dogs of all sizes, but can also be the only dog in the home. I can be nervous around new people at first but once I warm up, I'll be the best cuddle buddy! I'm looking for the perfect family to call my own! show less

Hey, do you have a sweet tooth? Well, then meet the Cookie Crew! My name is Cannoli, and I had a pretty rough start to life. I was born in a house where two cats had kittens around the same time, but the young mama refused to feed hers. So my amazing "mom," Oreo, nursed all 10 of us! Our owners tried to take care of us, but we were starving and covered in fleas. Mama was feeding us as best she could but needed help. So we were surrendered to Paws. Now we are all cured of fleas, eating food like crazy, spoiled rotten and even mama is living her best life with us. As for me, I'm a male, 4-month-old white and black spotted cow. I'm a super calm kitty but love to play with toys, wrestle with my siblings, and love chilling and playing around on our cat tree. I am super sweet to everyone I meet but it takes me a little bit of time to warm up to new people and new situations.  That's why I am part of a bonded pair with my brother Thumbprint.  He helps me to feel safe and brave. I have been around dogs, other cats and kids. So if you'd like to satisfy that sweet tooth, go ahead and apply for Thumbprint and I at Paws Across Pittsburgh!      show less

Meet Carmie! Carmie is a gorgeous 4yr old red and white Border Collie weighing ~35lb. Paws rescued her from a puppy mill where she was about to be disposed. Fortunately, Carmie is loving, enjoys humans, and gets along well with other dogs. Unfortunately, Carmie is on activity restrictions given she tested positive for heartworm. She's received all of her treatment shots but must be on exercise restriction until May 2024 when she can be retested. (A friendly reminder to spend $10/month on heartworm preventatives rather than thousands on treatment and having your best buddy limited with crate rest/activity restrictions for 6+ months.) Carmie's ideal home is one with another dog and with humans that are home more often than not. She experiences separation anxiety, so having an adopter who works part time, works remotely, or is retired would suit her well. She's not had interactions with children or with cats, but we believe her temperament is such that she'd likely be ok with either. Lastly, while she wouldn't be able to enjoy it right away, we also feel Carmie deserves a nice yard to run and play in! The most important thing we are looking for in an adopter is someone who realizes the gift Carmie will be for them but also realizes patience is critical and that Carmie MUST keep to her activity restriction. She will be retested for heartworm again in May 2024, and all related vetting is to be covered by Paws Across Pgh. To help Carmie feel part of the family, her current foster has been having Carmie on a leash tethered to her coffee table if she is not in a crate. This allows Carmie to lay on the couch or floor with a bone or receive cuddles but prevents her from running around and getting her heart rate up. She seems to enjoy this balance and soaks up pets and love. If you are interested in Carmie, please apply today!  show less
