💖🐾💖🐾My name is ALEXA💖🐾💖🐾

My sister and I had a rough beginning as sick orphaned babies, but we were lucky enough to find our way to a loving shelter. My eyes were badly infected when I arrived, and I had to have one removed — but don’t let that fool you! Nothing slows me down. I run, jump, and play like any other happy kitten.

I’m fully litter-trained and enjoy both dry and wet food. I also live comfortably with other cats and dogs, so I’d fit right into a multi-pet home. I’m scheduled to be spayed on 12/17, and after that I’ll be ready to go to my forever home.

If you’re looking for a resilient, playful, and affectionate little companion, I just might be the one for you. 💛🐾. Inquire about me today!

🌟 🚨SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Foster or Adopt Sweet MABEL🚨🌟

Anyone willing/able to open their heart and a soft, comfy place to land until our dear Mabel finds her forever home? PAW will provide all the necessary supplies to a foster.

From an overcrowded shelter in South Carolina to the search for her forever couch — meet Mabel, a 5-year-old hound with a heart full of love and a soul that just wants peace, sunshine, and snuggles. ☀️💛

This gentle girl isn’t your typical hound — she’s quiet, calm, and would rather snooze on the sofa than chase squirrels. Her favorite hobbies? Lounging in a warm sunbeam, going on slow sniffari walks, making friends (human and furry), and riding shotgun on a weekend adventure. 🐾🚗

Mabel is a total sweetheart in playgroup and gets along beautifully with other dogs. She may even be cat-friendly! With her soulful eyes and easygoing nature, she’s the kind of pup who melts into your side and makes everything feel a little softer.

Mabel’s only wish is a cozy home where she can relax, feel safe, and be loved for exactly who she is. Could you be the one to show her what forever feels like?

🏡 Adopt Sweet Mabel — your couch companion, walking buddy, and heart-healer. 💕

✨Meet HENLON !✨

This amazing, handsome boy got a second chance at life after being pulled from the Prince George’s euthanasia list — and wow, has he blossomed! His foster calls him “perky” — full of love, energy, and personality. 🐾

💛 Henson has all the joy of a puppy but is house-trained and learning fast.
🍪 He’s treat-motivated (training win!) and walks best with a gentle leader.
👧 Great with kids and loves other dogs — just a little extra enthusiastic at first!
🚗 Calm and quiet in the car, always ready for an adventure.
🏡 Loves yard zoomies but does fine with walks and long-lead play, too.
🛋️ A+ snuggler who knows his couch spot and loves being near his people.
If you’re ready for a loyal, loving, adventure buddy who’s excited to be part of your family, Henson’s your guy! 💕

💜⭐️Meet VAN — the Rock Star of Dogs!⭐️💜

Van isn’t just a head-turner… he’s the full package. At just a year old and 32 pounds, this showstopper has the perfect combination of good looks, great manners, and a heart of gold.

Van’s foster says he’s incredibly smart and eager to learn. He already knows sit, down, crawl, paw, touch, find, and spin. He’s currently working on eyes on me, follow, place, and stay. When he gets a little too amped up, a quick “get it together” makes him regroup — and yes, it’s as cute as it sounds. Ask him to “get your toy,” and he’ll happily redirect himself like the good boy he is.

He is fully housebroken, and when he needs a break, he’ll even put himself in his crate for some downtime.

Van is wonderfully friendly with dogs of all sizes. He loves to play and can get excited, but he responds beautifully when another dog sets boundaries. On walks, he’s working on sitting calmly when other dogs pass by — he’s a young guy who just wants to say hi!

Van will thrive in a family ready to continue his training, keep his brilliant brain busy, and give him the exercise and playtime a young pup needs.

This rock star won’t be available long — apply today!

PAW adopts to northern VA, southern PA, DC, and MD.

💜🐾🐈‍⬛💜Meet RASPUTIN — the Rootin’ Tootin’ Rasputin himself!

Once a 3-week-old, 0.86 lb fighter battling Panleukopenia, this little legend beat the odds and came out purring. Now 9 weeks old, over 2 lbs, and full of feisty charm, Rasputin is healthy, happy, and ready for his forever family.

He’s a brave boy with a soft heart — playful with all cats, curious about everything, and always ready for wand-toy adventures. He loves his meals (and may offer a few grumbly “nom-nom” reminders to keep other kitties away).

Rasputin will be neutered on December 4th and ready to go home soon after.

If you’re looking for a tiny hero with a huge personality, Rasputin is your guy. 💛🐾

💖Meet TINSLEY💖- a petite, sweet 39 lb pup with a 🍓strawberry red coat and a heart full of love! Rescued from a crowded South Carolina shelter, this 10-month-old is settling in beautifully.

Tinsley is curious, snuggly, and a bit of a velcro dog who loves to stay close to her humans. She’s a pro walker, doesn’t pull on leash, and gets along great with other dogs. Crate trained and a gentle treat-taker, she’s also learning basic commands.

Tinsley is ready to find her forever home in the MD, VA, DC, and northern PA areas.

Stay tuned for more updates as this sweet girl continues to blossom!

🍂🧡 FOSTER NEEDED — Give LAZLO the gift of a Home this Thanksgiving! 🧡🍂

Lazlo is a super sweet, gentle boy who just wants a human and a home to help him feel safe. He recently came up from southern VA, and the busy DMV life has been a little overwhelming for him. More than anything, Lazlo would love a quiet, cozy place to decompress instead of spending Thanksgiving in a kennel.

At about 1 year old and 50 lbs, Lazlo is a soft, golden-furred “low rider” — we think a Golden Retriever mix with a shorter breed. He loves people, enjoys other dogs, and would thrive with a confident doggie friend to show him the ropes.

He’s very treat-motivated, eager to learn, and just needs a little time and a lot of love to truly bloom. 🌼

Can you open your home and your heart to Lazlo this Thanksgiving? Giving him a temporary place to land until he finds a forever home could make all the difference.

🚨 💜URGENT: CHUCK Needs a Foster!💜🚨

Meet Chuck one of our PAW favorites — a 2-year-old brindle sweetheart with personality to spare!💛

Chuck may have lost his vision young due to cataracts, but thanks to surgery (and the amazing PAW team), he’s now seeing the world with bright new eyes and a nose for fun!🐾

This playful, gentle 60-lb boy loves other dogs, is crate trained, housebroken, and eager to please. He’s learning commands, enjoys walks and zoomies, and his tail never stops wagging.

Chuck can be shy at first but quickly shows his goofy, loving side — especially when peanut butter, music, or ear scratches are involved! 🎶🥜

He’d thrive in a home with another dog, but he’ll do great solo too.

👉 Chuck needs a foster (or forever!) home now.

PAW will provide training and support — you provide the love. Let’s help Chuck see how beautiful life can be, with you by his side. 💛

⭐️FOSTER or ADOPT⭐️

🐾 💜Meet Darling BOBBY! 💜🐾

This 5-year-old, 60lb snuggle bug is all love, kisses, and gentle soul. A true volunteer favorite, Bobby is housetrained, crate trained, knows his commands, and is working hard on his leash skills. 🐶💕

He LOVES people (kids too!), fetch (with multiple balls 😄), and following you around just waiting for snuggles. He’s low-energy indoors, makes a great car buddy, and enjoys peaceful walks in nature. 🌳🚗

Bobby would thrive as the only dog in a home with a yard. PAW will support his transition with training — and he’s also available for short-term foster (even just 2 weeks!). ❤️

Ready for the best cuddle buddy ever? Apply to adopt or foster Bobby today!

🌟 Meet Isabella — or as her foster calls her, BELLA! 🌟
She arrived in Maryland less than a week ago and has already stolen every heart she’s met. This 1-year-old beauty is as sweet as she is stunning!
🐾 A dream on leash:
Her foster says she doesn’t pull at all — pretty impressive for a 58-lb girl! She even walks in perfect tandem with her foster’s dog.
🏡 Wonderful house manners:
Bella is respectful in the home and doesn’t jump on furniture. She’s house-trained, though like many young pups, she may try to chew things she shouldn’t — and her foster is helping her learn the ropes.
💛 Social & people-loving:
“Sweet, friendly, and loving” is how her foster describes her. Bella adores people and enjoys other dogs too! She’s working on crate training, but she’d always prefer to be near her humans.
We’ll keep updating her profile as we learn more — but trust us, she’s already amazing.
📍 PAW adopts in MD, VA, DC, and northern PA.
