This was Jax first “fit” in his wheels. It will take a few tries to get the fit just right for him. We were just so excited to see him take off- look at him go! That smile says so much! We will continue to fine tune the fit and give him short time in his wheels until he builds his strength back up in his front legs- for now we are all beyond thrilled he is doing so well!

Ewok is a 6 year old Breeder release ShihTzu and has spent his entire life being a “stud”. Over the past few weeks we have seen Ewok go from terrified to a confident dog- though he is still leery of “pets” (we bribe him with treats- he loves treats) and is not a fan of being picked up and held. Ewok has become very independent and is by no means a “snuggly” dog. He LOVES toys and can empty a full toy box in less than 30 seconds. Ewok does well with most dogs of any size, cats and would do well in a home with no small children/grandchildren. Loud noises and fast movements will still frighten him. Ewok is goody, adorable, and looking for a home who understands all the unique and wonderful things about him. Please stop by PAW between 1-4 for a Meet n Greet or visit us at pawfortmadison.com to fill out an adoption application.

Aren’t I just the prettiest little thing? My name is London. I am a 5years old, female, 18 lbs, Sheltie. Sadly, I was not well socialized as a puppy but PAW is working on teaching me to be brave. I would like a quiet home, other pets are ok as long as they don’t run me over- small children (at least for now) are so scary for me- these creatures can be so LOUD and FAST! I am house/kennel trained, walk well on a leash and am ready to begin my new life- a Brave new life- if you would like to meet me - please stop by PAW any day between 1-4 or visit pawfortmadison.com to fill out an adoption application.

We are in the process of getting “wheels” for Jax. We are working closely with the UW Madison on his care and treatment. We appreciate all the suggestions, donations and prayers. This is not an easy fix- getting Jax mobile (whatever that may look like) is a long term process- Right now l, we could use volunteers to come in to “walk” him a few times a day. Even if you can only come once - it would be a huge help. Again, thank you - we could not do what We do - without YOU!

UPDATE on Jax: Sadly, the out come was NOT what we wanted to hear- Jax suffered in - layman’s terms” a Spinal Stoke. Meaning there is only an 8% chance he will ever be able to regain the use of his back legs. His appetite is good- he is peeing on his own- he LOVES being outside - Jax spent yesterday back home with his foster family- they sat outside on the shade and according to them - Jax slept like a log. We have not given up hope- Jax is only 3 years old, with a strong will to live- and he now has a family to live for - meanwhile we are taking him outside when we can, keeping close watch and saying LOTS of Prayers. Thank you to everyone who has donated, and those who are praying for our sweet boy. If you are a strong guy- we would love for you to come take Jax for a walk I am just too old to carry around 85 pounds of dead weight! 😍
