🐾Alumni Update🐾
Simon was adopted almost a month ago after getting noticed by a couple during his “Shelter Break” day out. Zach & his family met Simon & a volunteer at a local Cider house & decided on the spot they wanted to adopt him. Simon left the shelter that weekend and from the looks it, life in Mississippi is treating him well. It’s great seeing him so happy💙.
Re-sharing this video of our sweet and happy boy, Roscoe! 🐶
We fell in love with him instantly. He is such an easy going guy and just wants to roll in the grass 🥰 He loves to play with other dogs and spend time with volunteers. He will make such a great companion and best friend!! Someone get this boy into the loving home he deserves🙏
Adopt Roscoe!

Happy International Day of Charity! Yep - that’s today and it’s meant to encourage businesses & people to be charitable & help others. Volunteer, Help a Neighbor, Give to a Food Pantry, Donate to an Animal Shelter (😉). Whoever needs it, today is a great day to give. And we are so grateful for all our volunteers who generously give their time & love to these beautiful shelter dogs every single day. 🙏🏼🐾🫶🏼. https://ellijaypaws.org/donate
New Kid on Block, Gunnar. He lived in a home so we’re guessing he knows his way around couches & kitchens. He has a “I 💙 snacks & naps” vibe. He’s house trained, he “holds it” & doesn’t like to go in his kennel. He’s out of his puppy phase & ready for a grown up life of leisure. He has a nonchalant attitude towards other dogs thus far. He’s curious & happy on leashed walks - interested in new sites & smells. He greets people in a relaxed manner & will only jump up if there’s food. Gunnar likes to share 😉. Please share him! We really hope his time here is short!

Popcorn and Buddie are such wonderful dogs!!
They came in together and love getting to play together! They are both such good dogs, and they each have their own unique personality.
🐶When you walk up to Popcorn’s kennel, he’s right at the gate, excited and ready for some human interaction. He is Mr. Personality, loves a good comfy couch, and gives lots of kisses!
🐶Buddie is still unsure of new people, so he is a little more calm and inquisitive. Buddie has come such a long way since he has been with us, and warms up quickly! He has learned that people can be good and volunteers LOVE walking him!
What they have in common is that they’re both great on a leash, love to play in the play yard, and are incredibly sweet. They both deserve loving homes and happy lives!
Adopt Popcorn, Buddie, or both! 🤷♀️🥰

Cinnamon is a baby spice at about 1 year old & 30-35 lbs. She’s a little skittish, having been on her own as a stray for an unknown amount of time. Her short life probably hasn’t been easy but she warms up quickly in a calm setting. It’s obvious when she looks at you with those amber eyes that she just wants to feel safe & loved. We can tell this little one is going to be so affectionate once she understands people can be kind. She’s going to make a wonderfully sweet addition to a home & whoever gives her that will own her heart forever 💛. #ellijaypawsinneed #pickellijay #saveadog
Please Help Willow! Willow is the sweetest most gentle 8-10 year old senior who was abandoned and needs a foster ASAP! She has a tumor on her leg that we will take care of but we need to get her off the concrete and into a loving safe and comfortable home. She loves people and so far is good with all dogs. PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU CAN GIVE WILLOW A SAFE PLACE TO LAND…and please SHARE
We are SO excited about the installation of the play yard roof made possible by our generous donors, including those who contributed at the annual lasagna cookoff! This is going to be such a wonderful addition for our dogs!!!🥰🐾
THANK YOU to everyone involved!!

Fun duo— Big John and Joe!
Big John has now been with us 7 months, way longer than we ever expected. He is a mature, polite, and well-mannered boy. He especially loves swimming, treats, and squeaky toys. Big John is a simple kind of guy just looking for a chance. He has done extremely well in meet and greets, but luck has just not been on his side… yet! We know his family is out there. If you’re reading this and have or will consider helping Big John, please contact us to meet him! This sweet boy has waited patiently for you to find him💙
Joe is our curious, silly hound! Joe is a GOOD boy who loves going for walks and playing with puppies! Like Big John, he also loves playing in the water 💦 Joe deserves a loving family and will make someone a wonderful companion! Please visit our website to learn more about Joe or contact us to meet him! 🐾
Adopt Big John and Joe!

Our shelter dogs depend on our volunteers. Without them there would be no walks, no socialization, no time away from the shelter. With them they are exercised, provided mental stimulation, get “Dog Days” out for car rides & town visits and taught basic training skills. The dogs ♥️ the volunteers. The volunteers ♥️ the dogs! And because of the daily interactions, so many of these great dogs are home-ready! We are constantly grateful for everyone who contributes to the cause of getting them adopted & the community support of sharing & caring!🙏🏼🐾💙
We love sharing videos of our dogs, having fun! This is Belladonna and her favorite pastime is toys- can you tell? Belladonna is about five years old, trained, fully vaccinated, spayed, and can clearly keep herself entertained! If Belladonna captures your heart, contact Ellijay Paws In Need to learn more about her. Bella is anxiously waiting to meet her forever family!

Unexpected Besties🐾🐾. Big John & Little Joe have really hit it off & have become great buds. Maybe they know they have something in common - they’ve both been with us all year, too long. Maybe they’re helping each other through the shelter phase of life. Passing the time with an adorable bromance. It’s good to have friends💙. A home & a family are what these good boys need the most. See their stories at https://ellijaypaws.org/
Zeke is about 4 years old, about 80 lbs. and would like to take up residency on your couch. His fur is as golden as the sun and he’s as delightful as a warm summer's day. He’s bigger than most, but soft as cotton. He’s a happy, affectionate, low to medium energy kinda guy so if a nighttime snack & snuggling is your thing – you may be his perfect match! Seek is ready to Go Big & Go Home!! 😍. Share or Meet Zeke!
We’re not sure how Popcorn keeps getting passed over, but he’s a wonderful boy. 🐾 Playful, affectionate, and great with other dogs— that’s our Popcorn. We hope that someone will soon come along and see the loving personality that we see in him. He brings such joy to the world and deserves a loving home and comfy couch! 💙
Adopt Popcorn!

This is the shelter at 11:00am▪️This is after their breakfast, after their walks, after their play time▪️This is after someone treated them like a beloved pet, like family▪️Some will get extra time out in the afternoon▪️Some will remain in their cage for the next 22 hours▪️All will get excited when dinner is served▪️All will know doors close & lights go out after that▪️All will sleep alone▪️All will dream of a softer place, a quieter place, a cooler place, eventually a warmer place▪️All share the same reality.
Serena & Blair. These 2 sisters are 3 yrs old & 30 lbs each. They are true twins - both calm & easygoing, both good on leash, both a little shy. They’re a bonded pair. Here’s what that means: [They show repeated/continued physical contact; comfort each other, show signs of affection (cleaning the ears, licking the face) & are stressed if one leaves the kennel without the other]. Being bonded can be heartbreaking - we’d love for them to stay together but we know they may have to separate. We know it’s a difficult ask to foster or adopt two but when you meet them, it’s easy to see that their closeness is truly who they are. They are just sweet little sisters who have always only had each other. Please help them by sharing. There just may be someone who has room in their home & heart for both! 💕💕
Second-Hand Dogs make First-Class Pets! We have a shelter, full of friendly, healthy, happy pets ready to go home! #ellijaypawsinneed #pickellijay #adoptdontshop #shelterdog
Introducing the newest shelter couple: Pauley and Layla 🥹
These two are just perfect together! Shelter life can be lonely, so we love when our dogs find another special dog to spend time with in the play yards! They love to run around and be silly together. Though it would be a dream that they’re adopted together, they certainly don’t have to be! They’re both wonderful dogs all on their own.
If you want more information on either (or both 😁) of these dogs, visit our website linked below! They both deserve loving homes!
Adopt Pauley! Adopt Layla🩷
