Hello, my name is Blaze. I'm a 4 year old, male Labrador who weighs about 98 lbs. I would love to keep you warm during these cold winter months and beyond. A little about me…I was previously adopted by a nice couple about two years ago after I was found as a stray. Sadly, the couple fell on hard times and they surrendered me when they could no longer take care of me.  Although I was sad, I understood they wanted the best for me. Like most labs, I am very sweet and food-motivated. In fact, I like food so much that I may need some help losing a few pounds. However, I’m not too worried! It’s nothing that quality food and daily walks can’t solve. While at the shelter, several volunteers repeatedly remarked on how friendly I am and how I'm such a good boy! So, what’s a good boy, you ask? Well, I patiently waited for my turn at the vet’s office, I warmly greeted the people around me, I peacefully lived with a cat, and I ride well in a car. If those check off all your boxes, then I’m your pup! The nice people at PAW promised to help me find a forever home so I know that I’ll meet the right person or family who will love me.

Howdy, my name is Bogart Deuce, but my friends call me Bogart. I'm a 3 1/2 month-old Lab mix and weigh 28 lbs (as of early November 2023). I don’t remember much of my early puppy months other than I was found as a stray. The nice people at the shelter brought me in and gave me a temporary place to lay my head until PAW scooped me up. Are you looking for a dog who just wants to cuddle in your lap while looking at you with adoration through beautiful green eyes? Then I'm looking for you too! I am a fun-loving, handsome, and playful puppy who may need a refresher on potty training. I have the softest brown fur that wrinkles up on my forehead when I'm giving kisses or smiling up at you. The people at PAW say that I am a beautiful dog, good on a leash, and a "cuddle bug" (not sure what that means but I think it is a good thing). I do great with children (except I do need to lick them to say "hello") and other dogs. So, what do you say, how about giving me a chance?  PAW places animals in the Washington, DC/Baltimore Metropolitan area only. show less

Once your adoption application has been reviewed and approved, a PAW volunteer will assist you through the adoption process.  PAW's Cat Adoption Team currently conducts virtual ‘Meet and Greets’ via Zoom, Facetime, or another video conferencing platform. Since adopters are often unable to meet our rescue cats in person, PAW will honor a 2-week trial adoption period to ensure the match you’ve made is perfect! If you have questions, please contact Natalie at catadoptions@paw-rescue.org. As an all volunteer organization we do our very best to review and respond to Adoption Applications as well as general Inquiries in a timely manner. However, we genuinely appreciate your patience as it often takes several days to a week to complete this process. Once an application is received, reviewed and approved, a volunteer will be in touch with you as quickly as possible! show less

Hi, I’m Chels, a 1-year-old male Shepherd mix who weighs about 59 lbs. I’m looking for a two- or a four-legged playmate. My sister, Jewels, and I were adopted as puppies, but we were returned because our family had no time for us. I don’t think affection, playtime, and plenty of walks is too much to ask for, is it? I am a very sweet and playful dog who will provide my lucky human(s) with love and entertainment if you’d open your heart and home to me. As much as I like my sister, I don’t need to be adopted with her. This year, all I ask for is a warm and loving family for the holidays and beyond. Will you make my holiday wish come true?

Hello, my name is Ellie. I'm a 5 1/2 month-old Shepherd mix and weigh about 29 lbs (as of November 2023). I am sorry I look a bit sad in my profile picture, but I haven’t had it easy. My mother, my sister (Ember), and I were found abandoned in a crate on someone’s property. I don’t exactly remember how we ended up in a crate, but I remember feeling hungry and scared. The nice people who rescued us took us to a local shelter. Although it got loud at the shelter sometimes, the people there were very nice. They bathed us, fed us, and made sure we were okay. After settling in, some nice people adopted my mother and took her home with them. Before leaving, my mom told me to be brave and she assured us we’d find a forever home soon. My sister, Ember, and I have waited patiently for loving homes for several weeks at the shelter, but we’ve had no luck. I was beginning to lose hope until PAW came and scooped me and my sister up. The nice PAW volunteer who drove me and my sister to this area assured me that I’d find my loving forever home. As much as I care for my sister, I do not need to be adopted with her. All I ask is to have a warm and loving home! PAW places animals in the Washington, DC/Baltimore Metropolitan area only. show less

Hi all, my name is Jess, and I’m full of personality. I'm a 1-year-old, male, heeler mix & weigh about 38 lbs. I don’t remember much other than I was found as a stray. While at the shelter, I caught the attention of many of the volunteers with my sweetness and silly antics. For instance, I love rubbing against fences and scratching my belly on the ground. One of my notable quirks is that I should be walked only on a harness because slip leads and collars cause me to cough too much. The nice PAW volunteer who transported me to the area assured me that I’d find my loving forever home. For the holidays, all I ask is to have a loving home where my silliness is appreciated.

Lotus is a 6 year old, 41 lb., pointer mix. She is very sweet and loves to meet people. She is not a small dog, but seems to believe she is a lap dog! Lotus loves her people, toys, and food! She feels very strongly about protecting all of the resources she gathers, especially around other dogs. Because of this, Lotus needs to go to a home without any other dogs, cats, or small children. A single family home or townhouse with a private yard is ideal for Lotus. She really is such a sweet girl; she just knows what she likes! Can you blame her?! Lotus is incredibly gentle. She's even gentle with her stuffies and in play. She's truly a gentle soul that just needs a home that can give her tons of love and special treatment as the only furry family member in the home. She'll reward her new humans with lots of cuddles and unconditional love. PAW places dogs in the DC/Baltimore Metro Area only. show less

Hi, I’m Mabel. I'm a 1-year-old hound mix. I love pets and cuddles- especially when you scratch my back. I'm not much of a kisser (hey, a girl's gotta have limits)- but I love to sniff your face and cuddle up close. My human friends say that I'm beautiful and my fur is soft which makes me the perfect pal to snuggle when you are on the couch watching TV or reading a book. But I also like to have some fun; my dream is a backyard where I can run around and play with some friends (human or canine- I love everyone!)  Are you looking for someone who likes walks in the sun, racing in circles, and giving furry hugs? Then I'm your girl. PAW places animals in the Washington, DC/Baltimore Metropolitan area only. show less

Hi y’all, my name is Mack. I'm an 8-month-old beagle mix and I weigh about 29 lbs (as of December 2023). I am a proud member of the M&M [Mack & Mandy] duo! I don’t remember how my sister, Mandy, and I ended up in the shelter, but that doesn’t keep us down. In fact, you can likely find us playing and exploring our surroundings. We’ve been told by shelter volunteers that we are “very sweet” and perfectly sized dogs and, although I love playing with Mandy, I don’t need to be adopted with her. I’d just be happy in any loving home! Ideally, though, that home would have another dog who likes to play...or at least with people that can take me on many doggy play dates!
