🐾 Meet Butter Scotch! 🐾

Butter Scotch has one very important question: Is your lap available? 🥹🧡

This tiny goofball LOVES to snuggle and won’t hesitate to climb right onto you when he’s ready for some love. He’s curious about everything—especially the birds outside—and he definitely won’t turn down a treat!

And apparently, regular cuddling isn’t enough… Butter Scotch also loves being swaddled in socks. 😂🧦 Just wrap him up and let the snuggling begin!

He also loves watching his foster brother play and sometimes decides the fun looks way too good not to join in. 🐱

Butter Scotch is ready for a forever home with plenty of cuddles, treats, and someone to explore the world with. Could that be you?

🤍 Meet Snowball — our 70-pound gentle giant! 🐾

Snowball is a female Great Pyrenees, just under 1 year old, and she is basically one giant fluffy marshmallow who thinks kids are the best people ever.

She spent the first part of her life chained up, so getting to experience a real home, soft beds, playtime, and people who love her is all still new. Despite that start, she is incredibly sweet and gentle.

She is wonderful with children and especially loves following the 3-year-old in her foster home around like her own personal fluffy bodyguard. 🥹

Snowball is also great with other dogs, rides well in the car, does well in a crate with something to keep her busy, and has shown no food or toy guarding. She is still working on potty training, but she is smart and learning quickly!

Because she is a Great Pyrenees, a securely fenced yard is required — this gentle giant comes with some classic Pyrenees roaming instincts. 😂

📍 Fostered in Stephenson, VA

💙 MEET LAFAYETTE 💙

Some dogs just have that gentle, old-soul kind of sweetness—and Lafayette is one of them.

Lafayette is a handsome 3-year-old, 70-pound Scottish Terrier/Scottie mix who was found wandering the streets of Texas before ending up in an overcrowded shelter. Now he’s safe, loved, and waiting for the family who will finally show him what forever feels like.

And this big guy has SO much love to give. 🥹

Lafayette is:
🐾 House trained
🐾 Crate trained
🐾 Great in the car and an excellent copilot
🐾 Good with other dogs
🐾 Tested well with cats
🐾 Gentle with children ages 9+
🐾 Playful and loves his toys
🐾 A fetch enthusiast who brings the toy back… about half the time 😂
🐾 Already knows “sit”
🐾 An expert-level cuddler

Once playtime is over, Lafayette would happily spend the rest of the day snuggled up with his person. At 70 pounds, he has absolutely no understanding of personal space and is fully convinced he belongs directly in your lap.

He’s goofy, affectionate, gentle, and the kind of dog who just wants to be part of your life.

After surviving life on the streets and an overcrowded shelter, Lafayette deserves a couch, a family, and the security of knowing he will never be homeless again.

Could that be with you? 💙

🏡 Interested in adopting Lafayette?

The first step is submitting an adoption application. We do not schedule meet-and-greets without an approved application:

https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PDAR/Dog

His adoption includes age-appropriate core vaccines, deworming, microchip, heartworm testing when age appropriate, spay/neuter if applicable, and the transportation costs required to bring dogs like Lafayette from Texas to safety.

We also partner with VCA Animal Hospitals. Adopters receive a complimentary first exam at a participating VCA location within 14 days of adoption, along with limited follow-up coverage of up to $250 for certain minor illnesses diagnosed during that period.

Please remember that breed listings are our best estimates based on appearance and personality. We cannot guarantee breed composition or that any rescue dog is not mixed with another breed.

We do not offer foster-to-adopt or trial adoptions due to insurance restrictions. If you are interested in becoming a foster for dogs who are still waiting for placement, you can apply here:

Please share Lafayette. His forever family may simply not have seen him yet. 💙

Meet the Spooky Litter heading to Millsboro, Delaware the weekend of October 2!

Introducing Goblin, Pumpkin, Hex, Ghost, Bones, and Spooky. Six tiny Halloween babies who are about 7 weeks old and getting ready to make their way north.

These babies came from an unwanted litter. Their original family decided to keep Mom, but the puppies needed rescue, so Paws Deep Animal Rescue stepped in to help them find forever homes of their own.

Their mom has a very distinct Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler look, so our best guess is that these puppies are Cattle Dog/Terrier mixes, possibly with some Chihuahua or other small-breed ancestry mixed in. Dad is unknown, so exact breed and adult size can’t be guaranteed, but we expect them to be on the medium side when full grown, likely around 35 pounds or so.

They are still very young, so we’ll be learning much more about their individual personalities once they arrive and settle into foster care. For now, we know they are ridiculously cute and will soon be looking for families ready for all the fun that comes with raising a puppy: potty training, crate training, socialization, puppy teeth, and lots of snuggles.

All puppy adoptions require a signed spay/neuter contract. Adopters agree to have their puppy altered at approximately 6 months of age (Unless otherwise instructed by vet) and are responsible for the cost of the procedure. Once proof of spay/neuter is provided to the rescue, $100 of the adoption fee will be returned via PayPal or check.

🎉 Happy Birthday to our fearless leader and the founder of Paws Deep Animal Rescue, Victoria! ❤️🐾

Today we’re celebrating the woman behind it all — the one who took a love for animals and turned it into a rescue that has brought together an incredible group of fosters, volunteers, adopters, and, most importantly, given so many animals a second chance.

And because apparently a normal birthday just isn’t your style, you’re celebrating by bringing in 20+ animals on your birthday, no less 😂 Nothing says “Happy Birthday” quite like transport chaos, foster coordination, endless messages, and a whole lot of paws!

Thank you for being the heart of Paws Deep, for answering the endless messages, handling the chaos, solving problems at all hours, and always being there when one of us needs help. This rescue wouldn’t be what it is without your dedication, determination, and huge heart.

We hope that for at least a little while today, you can put the rescue chaos aside 😂, relax, and let everyone spoil YOU for a change!

Happy Birthday, Victoria! Here’s to another year of saving lives, leading the craziness, and somehow keeping all of us together along the way.

We love and appreciate you more than you know! ❤️

— Your Paws Deep foster family (and, of course, all the paws too 🐾)

Update: ADOPTED 🎉🥳❤️

🐾 MEET KORY — FOREVER BEDHEAD & PROFESSIONAL LITTLE SHADOW! 🐾

If you’re looking for a little dog who wants to be part of absolutely everything you do, Kory may be your guy. ❤️

Kory is an adorable Schnauzer/Terrier mix, about 6 months old and 10 pounds, with the most perfectly imperfect hair. Brush it, wash it, try to tame it all you want… that forever bedhead isn’t going anywhere. 😂

And somehow, it just makes him even cuter.

Kory is an incredibly sweet, loving little boy who quickly becomes your personal shadow. Walk into another room? Kory’s coming too. Sit down on the couch? He’ll happily curl up right beside you. He loves being close to his people and is always ready for a good cuddle.

✨ A little about Kory:
• Around 6 months old & approximately 10 lbs
• Schnauzer/Terrier mix
• Fully vaccinated & neutered
• Crate trained at night
• Great with other dogs
• Loves toys and bones
• Very affectionate and cuddly
• Treat motivated and eager to learn
• Still working on potty training
• Still learning his leash manners
• Loves going for walks, even if he hasn’t quite mastered the whole “walking nicely on leash” thing yet!

Because Kory is so treat motivated, training has been going really well. He’s a smart little guy who just needs someone willing to continue showing him the ropes.

Kory is looking for a family who wants a sweet, playful companion during the day and a snuggly little sidekick when it’s time to relax. We estimate for him to remain on the smaller side, with an adult size around 20 lbs or less as a best guess.

📍 Fostered in Millsboro, Delaware

Meet Oakley — professional snuggler, toy enthusiast, and full-time shadow looking for his forever family!

Oakley is an adorable 4-month-old puppy with the sweetest personality. Based on his black-and-white ticking, floppy ears, lean build, and longer legs, our best guess is that he may be a Pointer-type sporting dog mix, possibly with some Dalmatian in there. Of course, without a DNA test, breed is always just our best guess!

Oakley can be a little shy while he gets comfortable, but once he decides you’re his person, prepare to have a new best friend attached to your hip. He is a total Velcro dog who loves following his people around, curling up for snuggles, and soaking up all the affection he can get. He also seems to have missed the memo that he isn’t a tiny dog — Oakley absolutely thinks he is a lapdog and will happily make himself comfortable right on top of you.

One of the most important things to know about Oakley is that he needs another dog in the home. He really looks to other dogs for reassurance and companionship, and having a confident canine friend helps him feel safer, come out of his shell, and build his confidence. We are specifically looking for a home with another friendly dog who can help show Oakley that the world isn’t so scary.

A few more things to know about this sweet boy:

* He LOVES his toys.
* He is not particularly food motivated, so toys, affection, and praise may be better rewards for him.
* He is mostly potty trained. His foster says accidents are very uncommon as long as his humans are quick enough when he lets them know he needs to go out.
* He is super sweet and very much a snuggler.
* He loves his foster’s grandkids, with the youngest being 7.
* He is not a huge fan of his crate, but he will tolerate it when necessary.
* He can be very vocal when left alone or when he needs to go outside, so apartment or condo living would not be the best fit.
* Cats are currently unknown.
* Oakley is currently being fostered in Warrenton, VA.

Oakley is looking for a patient, loving home that will give him the time he needs to settle in, another dog to help him feel confident, plenty of toys, and a family who doesn’t mind sharing their lap with a puppy who is convinced he fits perfectly.

Think Oakley might be your perfect match?

Kari has officially decided that bully sticks are life 😂🐶

Give this girl a bully stick and she is one happy pup! She takes her chewing very seriously and would probably happily volunteer as an official taste tester for any bully stick company willing to sponsor her. 👀😂

Kari’s adoption is currently pending, but we are still accepting backup applications in case anything changes!
