My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cole got into a foster home a few weeks ago and is doing great! Here is what his foster family has to say about him!
“We’ve been lucky enough to spend our days with Cole for 3 weeks now. I walked him at the shelter and couldn’t get him off my mind, so the very next day he was snoozing on our couch. Cole has come such a long way physically in this short time. He, like many others, was severely emaciated upon intake at the shelter. That paired with some super itchy skin and tender paw pads (to name a few) I felt that this boy needed some TLC. In foster, he is thriving! He has adapted wonderfully to our routines, put on some healthy weight, and is epitome of ‘just happy to be here’ Here are some more bits about Cole Male, about 1 year old, neutered, UTD on vaccines, low/medium energy & ~45 lbs but still needs to gain some
A stranger?! Never met one! Crate & potty trained, Doesn’t pull on leash & no handling sensitivities, Kept separated from our resident dogs because that is what our dogs need, but Cole has no issues. He does not bark/growl or show any behaviors toward them. Dog meet & greets always recommended, No reactions to other dogs on leash & does not seem to have a prey drive. Thinking he could be fine with cats?? Seemed very sweet around a young child he met at an adoption event. Did not bark and even calmed down a little around the child. Has taken treats gently from another young child previously, Does not jump up, Non-destructive
He has some leaky urine due to his emaciated state & muscle strength. He wears belly bands like a champ which solves the issue & assume this will resolve itself once he gains some more strength!
Cole is just such a love bug. He’s has never met a stranger and is so trusting of everyone which warms & also breaks my heart a little considering he’s been through a lot in his short life. He’s my little shadow around the house and is perfectly content just being in your presence.”
Sheltered Paws is providing this pup with a leash, collar, durable chew toy, snacks and a rebate certificate good for a training class. You can pick your trainer and Sheltered Paws will rebate back to you an amount up to but not to exceed $100.00.

Additional adoption info

Some dogs are at the shelter and some are in a foster home. If the dog you like is at the shelter, please contact the person listed. She will fill you in on all the details.

If the dog you are interested in adopting is currently in a foster home, please EMAIL the individual "Foster Parent" noted in the description.



An Adoption Form Questionnaire will be emailed back to you. Upon completion, email the application back to spdrapp@shelteredpaws.com


After review, we will be happy to set up an appointment for you to come and visit with the dog in the foster home.
If the adoption is appropriate, you will be asked to sign an adoption contract.



A nominal adoption fee is charged for each dog. This fee includes a vet check, all shots, any necessary medical work and medication, spay/neuter (if possible and appropriate). All of our work is volunteer. WE MAKE NO PROFIT ON THESE ADOPTIONS. This fee does NOT include those additional things we supply while the pet is in our care e.g. pet supplies, food, toys, grooming, training, etc. (plus a heck of a lot of hugs!)

More about this rescue

Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue was established in 1997 in order to save shelter dogs that need a foster placement.


We are a 501 (3) (c) non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.


The reasons for fostering include:


  • Orphans too young for adoption
  • Nursing mothers
  • Mildly sick/injured dogs
  • Dogs that have been abused
  • Dogs that can not adjust to living in a shelter environment

Sheltered Paws Dog Rescue and a local shelter work together to place these dogs in temporary, loving foster homes. When you adopt from us, you are helping to save a shelter dog!!


Our Goal is to save shelter dogs in need and place them in good homes. To promote the placement of special need dogs with the help of adoption bags, grooming, socialization, and providing needed supplies. To pair the right dog with the right human companion(s), enriching everyone's lives.


Our Mission is to develop trust and love with a dog that needs to be reminded that many humans can and will take good, loving care of it for the rest of its lives. To then find loving homes for these previously abused, abandoned, sick, neglected and confused dogs. To give the dog a solid re-start with behavior, health, and trust. To spay/neuter our rescued dogs of age to stop the cycle of unwanted litters.
