Hazel is the final puppy from her litter who is searching for the just-right-fit. From being rescued with her siblings from under a trailer at three weeks old, to going to a loving foster home, Hazel truly appreciates being saved and shows her appreciation with hugs, kisses, playing and snuggles. She loves all people and does great with other dogs. Hazel is smart and knows to kennel herself when it’s time for humans to work, and thinks sleeping in bed close to her crew is the best. Hazel is about three months old, weighs around 20 pounds, and is a beautiful mixed breed. We only know that her mom is about 40 pounds and has similar coloring to Hazel. Hazel and other adoptable dogs are attending our public meet and greet this Sunday in Fort Atkinson at Sunday Fundsday. You can fill out an application for her at paddyspaws.blogspot.com

Heidi was the best mom to her five puppies and helped keep them safe on the street until they all could be rescued. Most of her puppies have found forever homes in Wisconsin and now it's mom's turn to find her happily-ever-after. Heidi is approximately two years old and weighs about 40 pounds. She has a wonderful, sweet personality and would love an equally wonderful family. Her breed is unknown, but her medium size makes for a great family dog! She is potty trained, dog social and full of two year old fun energy! She loves to run and play with other dogs, but also can rest nicely in a kennel if needed. She hasn't lived with cats or small children.

King is a super sweet and well mannered three month old puppy. He is very social and has met lots of different people and other dogs. He is trusting and a complete doll. We don't know what breeds make up his family tree, but we think that he will grow up to be a medium sized dog. King will need to be altered at six months of age and will need to attend puppy classes too. King is planning to attend the Sunday Fundsday Meet and Greet event in Fort Atkinson on June 13th.

The "A-named" litter are each looking for an adopter. Pictured here are Angel, Arizona, Allie, and Astro. Ace, Apollo, and Archer and the other available pups. Their mom was rescued while pregnant so they have only known the love and care of a foster home. They are super sweet and social. Due to Their small size they are approved for homes with children age 8 and older. Like most rescues, their breed is unknown and their adult size is a best guess but mom is approximately 10 pounds. Puppies require a flexible schedule and regular socialization to become a happy, healthy pooch! Adopters of puppies must alter them at six months and take them to puppy classes per the adoption contract. Fill out an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com

Smile! You’re coming to Wisconsin!
These lucky dogs just found out that they have the trip of a lifetime this weekend. Let’s make their day even better by finding them a forever home!
Because we are foster based, these adoptable mugs will live in a loving home until the perfect forever is found. They aren’t in a hurry and neither are we...quality and patience are what these pups deserve.
So what does that look like?
📝 An application that is completed with thoughtfulness and demonstrates you’ve reviewed our policies and dog profiles.
👍🏻 Adopters who show kindness. Sassy emails, threats, or downright rude comments to our volunteers don’t convince us you’ll be a kind and patient home.
🏡 A stable, pet friendly home. Did you keep your pets through transitions? Is your residence welcoming to pets?
🐶 Good vet history. Did you protect your pet with regular heartworm and Lyme disease testing? Keep them up to date on vaccinations as age appropriate and get them regular wellness?
Does this sound like you? ⬆️ Apply!

Bo is wondering where his applications are? Surely there is someone out there who wants a beautiful shepherd? Surely someone needs an exercise buddy? Surely you have some extra tennis balls lying around that need a purpose? 🎾 Bo is 10 years young and seeking a companion who loves the great outdoors! He is intelligent, obedient, and best as an only dog in the home. He was in incredibly rough shape when he joined our rescue, which was extra disheartening to see in a senior. But he’s ready to make these years his best years and just needs a family to enjoy it with! Come play ball with Bo and give him the best of his golden years! https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/27420436-fort-atkinson-wisconsin-german-shepherd-dog-mix
Check out Rascal in action! He is the adorable black and white scruffy terrier mix playing fetch in his foster's backyard. We just learned that he is heart worm negative so he is eligible to travel to Wisconsin on June 23rd. He does great with other dogs and has the best personality!

Mama Miley's pups are now two weeks and three days old! Their eyes are open and they are getting very mobile! PLEASE NOTE: We are not accepting applications, inquiries, or adoption holds for Miley or her pups yet, but we like sharing updates on this special family and the pups' journey as they grow as this is a first for Paddy's Paws. You can see an updated photo of Miley and her pups in the comments too! As the pups are growing fast, we have added items to our Amazon Wish-list to help with their care. You can check out ways to donate at https://paddyspaws.blogspot.com/p/donate.html We have been very appreciative of all of the donations and generosity from our supporters already. Thank you!
Here are ten Paddy's Paws' dogs who would love to have a meet and greet with an approved adopter! Most have been waiting several weeks in their Wisconsin foster homes for the right-fit to come along. Let's help these sweet pups find their forever family for the new year! View the bios of our adoptable dogs at adoptapet.com/adoption_rescue/92581.html paddyspaws.blogspot.com
They say Christmas is a time for miracles..., well, Rex is definitely a miracle! In this video clip Rex shows us what he CAN do! Rex is a 10 month old yellow lab mix who is a special needs adoption. He currently weighs around 40 pounds. Due to a birth defect, he doesn't have use of his front legs, but that doesn't dim his bundle of sweetness and happy tail wags! He is incredibly independent with two functioning back legs and he even has his own set of wheels that he is learning to use! Rex is dog social and enjoys belly rubs! The perfect adoptive home would be a one-story home (minimal stairs) with more than 50% carpeting. Carpeted floors are easier for his independent mobility. A zero degree exit door would be beneficial too (or just one step) so that going out to go potty makes it easier for him (a deck with multiple up/down stairs would make it more difficult). Let's help Rex find his forever home before the new year! Fill out an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com
Thank you to all of the businesses, organizations, and individuals who donated items for our rescue partners in Houston! Here is a look at some of the donations we had dropped off at our transport barn today and yesterday. We are in awe of your generosity! We can't wait to get these supplies in the hands of our rescue partners the next few weekends as we continue with more transports. Thank you!!!
Want to know how you can make a difference and help the homeless dogs of Houston? Please help us recognize and support the tireless efforts of our Houston rescue partners, like Houston K-911 Rescue. They help homeless and neglected dogs 365 days a year, and this week has been no different. Check out just one of the rescues that Houston K-911 Rescue made today. Watch this video to see what they deal with on a daily basis. Then share this video to get the word out. Finally, consider donating to help them with the medical care and daily expenses they have. After Hurricane Harvey, they need our help more than ever. They are a volunteer run organization, just like Paddy's Paws. They need our support. Please help us help them so they can continue to save more dogs in need. You can send them a donation at: Houstonk911rescue.org/donate or PayPal to [email protected]

COMING SOON TO WISCONSIN...the musical stylings of Piggy Azalea, Skittle Wayne, and Daft Chunk! These adorable low-riders are headed to Wisconsin on Sunday and Piggy and Skittle are still looking for their forever homes. The pups will be about 8 weeks old when they arrive. They were born in a foster home after their mom was saved from the Harris County Shelter in Houston, Texas. They are well socialized and have only known love and had positive experiences. Their mom was about 34lbs and looks like a basset mix. Fill out an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com
These adorable puppies don't want the Wisconsin transport van to leave without them this weekend, but so far none of them have an adoptive hold. We want to try and get them more interest so they don't have to be left behind. They are Doberman mixes and mom is about 60 pounds. Dad is a mixed breed who is about 65-70 pounds. They are good with other dogs and kids! Fill out an application at paddyspaws.blogspot.com
Nellie needs a new home where she can be queen of the castle! This 4 year old beauty has a passion for toys, car rides, and outdoor fun! Her family loves her dearly, but they recognize that she needs a home without small children and other dogs. To reduce stress and transition, they continue to have Nellie remain with the family. They would love to find the perfect match as soon as possible and we encourage you to complete an application at www.paddyspaws.blogspot.com to bring Nellie home! http://www.adoptapet.com/pet/17770401-fort-atkinson-wisconsin-labrador-retriever-mix
2016 was a fantastic year for Paddy's Paws! This year we helped almost 1,000 dogs find their forever homes! Please watch our highlight video...it will be the best five minutes of your whole year :) Then share the video with your friends so we can continue raising awareness of our important work. This year we also educated local youth in the community about the importance of adopting, brought awareness to the homeless pet crisis in Houston, and raised funds for dogs in need. We are so grateful to all of our rescue partners, fosters, volunteers, supporters, and adopters. In 2017, we look forward to continuing our mission to help dogs in need.

26 dogs are currently on their way to Wisconsin! Earlier this morning, the fosters and volunteers from Houston K-911 were busy getting all of the dogs together so that they could load them into the transport van. Hooves and Hounds is also bringing a van of dogs! We wish them safe travels and can't wait to welcome them to Wisconsin! Video courtesy of Jodi O'Hara
Pippa heard that she hasn't received an application for adoption yet. She's decided to step up her game and showcase some of her obedience skills! Pippa is an eager to please, almost 2 years old boxer. Despite coming from a neglectful situation, she still adores people! She is good with other dogs and loves to play, but would do fine as a spoiled only child as well. Want to see if Pippa is the one for you? Fill out an application at www.paddyspaws.blogspot.com

Please share so we can help Tracy find her forever home! She is really hoping to come to WI soon, but hasn't had a single application. Tracy is this beautiful 3 year old girl who is full of life and looking for her next best friend! Tracy is very much a husky/shepherd type breed, and is an active dog who loves to run and play. She will need an active family who can help her get her exercise. Tracy is extremely loveable and bonds quickly with her human. She is loyal, loving, and adores her person to the point where she will follow you where ever you go. Tracy loves to be outdoors, but indoors she is a cuddle bunny. She does best with larger dogs, but cats and small dogs are a no-go with this girl. She just gets way too excited. She is amazing with children however, and is extremely gentle and sweet. She loves to roll over on her belly for rubs, and always has a signature smile with one ear up and one ear flopped down! For more information on our adoption process, visit paddypaws.blogspot.com
In honor of Friends Day on Facebook, we made our own video of "Furry" Friends available for adoption. Learn more at paddyspaws.blogspot.com
I need you to see Charlotte. And I don't just mean the pictures of her or her profile. Really see her. This is Charlotte. This is not the dog you will first meet, and this won't be this dog in your home for several weeks. The dog you meet will cower on the couch and move away from your every advance. I need you to see the dog who curls up with me at night and lays her head on my shoulder. I need you to see the dog whose tail goes crazy when I come downstairs. I need you to see the dog who welcomes each and every new dog into this home with a gentle and playful demeanor. Charlotte is available for adoption, but it has to be special. You'll will need a fenced yard, a large breed canine companion, no small children (only because they can be scary), and several weeks of patience and trust building. No exceptions. She may never be the dog who is enthusiastic about your visitors and may always be very shy. This needs to be understood completely. She will, however, be loyal, loving and sweet for all her life. I am in no hurry for someone to adopt my "Charlie", but I know her someone is out there. Some will say " just keep her! ", but for every dog I keep, that's one less I can help. And there are so many waiting. Someone out there will see her. Is it you? If you would like to begin the preapproval process, you can visit this link to fill it out: http://bit.ly/1IIlGFS
These pups almost did not have a chance. Their mother was found wandering alone in Galveston, TX and picked up by animal control 5 days before giving birth to 14 puppies! Thanks to Lola's Lucky Day and a volunteer for stepping up to foster this family, the puppies are now 12 weeks old, healthy and will be traveling to WI June 12th! Only 2 of them have applications! 12 of them are still hoping for a family of their own; could you be the one? Fill out an application now to start the process or email us [email protected] for more info on these cuties! ❤️❤️❤️
This boy is the perfect combo of exercise buddy and couch potato! Want to go for a run? Great! Want to curl up on the couch and watch the game? No problem! Joey does it all! Email [email protected] for more information!
Meet Sadie! She has been an amazing mama to the "chip" puppies! She will be joining us on our Houston to Wisconsin voyage to reside in foster. She'll need to be spayed (recent mamas need time before a spay), but she's ready for applications! She sweet, smart, and oh so grateful for being rescued!
This is what the feeling of "saved" looks like. Time was up, options were limited...but rescue happened. Thanks to the persistence and dedication of some pretty amazing people, these two have a second chance at life and will join us in April!
Paddy’s Paws believes in “Rescue Done Right!” Since beginning in late 2014, and officially becoming a nonprofit in November of 2015, Paddy’s Paws has helped over 2,100 dogs find forever homes. The main focus is to find good homes, for good dogs, with good people. Many of the dogs helped are from Houston, Texas. Why Houston? The Wisconsin-Texas connection stems from a friendship that Paddy’s Paws’ founder, Erin, had with the founder of the Houston-based rescue, Lola’s Lucky Day. After taking a trip to Houston, Erin witnessed firsthand the huge homeless pet population in Houston where many dogs were getting euthanized in shelters due to lack of space. Erin created Paddy’s Paws so that dogs who would normally have no chance, could have their second chance at life. Thanks to a solid foster program and dedicated volunteers, Paddy’s Paws expanded its rescue connections and currently works with three licensed rescues: Hooves and Hounds, Houston K-911 Rescue, and Lola’s Lucky Day. In addition to helping homeless dogs from Houston, it also assists with local owner surrenders in Wisconsin.
There are many reasons why Paddy’s Paws is unique. Paddy’s Paws provides animal education to local youth and creates countless community outreach opportunities. In addition to hosting fundraisers for dogs in need, Paddy’s Paws sends all adoption fees to the Houston rescues so they can help save more dogs. As of August 2018, over $600,000 has been sent back. Paddy’s Paws relies solely on the dedication of fabulous fosters and volunteers and the generous support of their followers. Paddy’s Paws uses its expert match-making skills and thorough approval process to ensure each dog goes to a home that is the best fit. Paddy’s Paws is more than just a rescue...Paddy’s Paws is a family. Always available to support adopters throughout the entire process, Paddy’s Paws takes delight in following the special journey of every dog who comes through the organization. Thank you for helping Paddy’s Paws change a life...one dog at a time.
More About the Adoption Process
Our adoption process works a bit different than other shelters and rescues! Paddy's Paws serves as a coordinator for Houston rescues. We send out the applications, arrange home visits and secure back up fosters for each of the dogs that will be transported here. Like most foster-based organizations, we do not have a facility and set up all appointments on an individual basis. Prior to any meet and greets, we require an approved application so we will need to go through all the steps before having you meet any of the available dogs here in Wisconsin.
The application, reference checks, and home visit are considered part of the general approval process and we cannot guarantee that a specific dog will still be available when you complete the process, but doing so will get you access to our "match making" service where you will have bios and pictures of multiple dogs that may be exactly what you're looking for! And, of course, there's always the possibility that the dog that sparked your initial interest will still be available!
Begin your application process by filling out an adoption application.
Can't adopt, but want to get involved? We will share opportunities to participate in fundraisers, volunteer, and raise awareness for homeless animals! Paddy's Paws is a Non-Profit 501-c3 organization: EIN: 47-4005691
