Story
Arya (female, 8yo in August) is a pitbull (AmStaff/APBT mix). She is a seriously sweet girl who will spend all day on the couch with you if you let her. She loves cuddles, walks, rolling in the grass, and playing with her toys. She should go to a calm home that loves those things, too. She had a rough start to her life (we rescued her) so she has a hard time with small humans and other animals. Arya is highly trained, incredibly smart, and super affectionate. She deserves to live the rest of her life in comfort with a family that loves her just as much as we do (if not more)! We'll provide treats, her crate, toys, a bag of food, etc. We would also very much prefer to still be able to visit with her, if her new family is open to it! If you think Arya is a good fit for your family, please apply today!

Meet Bandit, a sweet, long-legged Jack Russell seeking an energetic and affectionate home. Estimated to be in his middle years, Bandit blends youthful spirit with maturity. He loves outdoor exploration but can be anxious and seeks comfort from being close to his humans. Ideal for a home with a backyard, active walkers or dog park visitors, and older children (over 3 years). Bandit is house-trained, requires an emotional support human, and enjoys playtime and peaceful snuggles. He's selective with animal friends, needing a trial period with potential pet siblings.

Story
Meet Stubbz, a charismatic 1.5-year-old Basset Hound Lab mix with a zest for life. He is crate trained and house trained. This spirited pup is a perfect fusion of energy and sweetness, ready to charm his way into your heart and home!  Stubbz is a ball of enthusiasm, always up for an outdoor adventure. Whether it's exploring new trails or playing with his beloved toys, he's the ideal companion for an active lifestyle. However, his energy translates to some excitement during play and leash walks. Stubbz and his foster Mom are currently working on perfecting his leash manners, and with a little guidance, he's sure to become a great walking partner. As much as he loves to express his delight, Stubbz can get a bit mouthy which is his way of sharing the exuberance bubbling inside him. With patient training and positive reinforcement to include yummy treats, Stubbz will learn to channel his excitement into more gentle interactions. Despite his minor quirks, Stubbz is an absolute sweetheart. His strong yet gentle demeanor makes him a delightful cuddle buddy, especially after a fun filled day. Though he enjoys resting near his foster Mom, Stubbz will normally walk unescorted into his open crate, fluff his blankets and go to sleep.   If you're looking for a companion who's not only eager for adventure but also on a journey of self-improvement, Stubbz is the perfect match. Help him refine his leash skills, and you'll have a charming and loyal friend for life.  His captivating smile and expressive eyes will surely brighten even the gloomiest of days.  Are you ready to embark on a journey of training and companionship? Stubbz is waiting to bring his unique blend of energy and sweetness into your home. PAW places animals in the Washington DC/Baltimore Metropolitan areas only. ##1786501##
