💜💜🐶🐾💜💜Adopt TIMMY— This intelligent, treat-loving pup is packed with love, loyalty, and a playful spirit. He’s looking for a calm, loving home with a yard (if possible) to explore and a human to share snuggles with after a day of walks. Timmy’s ready to hike, fetch, and steal your heart.

He is 2 years old, 63 pounds, and possibly a mix of Greater Swiss Mountain dog and Irish Terrier. Timmy knows basic commands, including "sit" and "down".

Timmy is a great companion and will be game for all kinds of adventures. He sits quietly in the car and loves to look out the window and smell all the smells.

Timmy has a moderate energy level. But he is also a dog who loves soft pets and snuggles to cuddle up with his person at the end of the day. Can you help Timmy become the dog he is meant to be?

Could Timmy be your new best friend? Apply to adopt today and start your next adventure together!

🐾 Meet BUBBA — A Gentle Soul Ready to Love 🐾

Bubba is a sweet, sensitive hound dog with a heart full of love and a deep appreciation for life’s simple joys: soft blankets, quiet spaces, and the people he trusts.

When Bubba first arrived in rescue, he was emotionally and physically exhausted—his nails were painfully overgrown, his eyes needed care, and his spirit was worn thin. But with time, patience, and love, he has healed. Now, Bubba thrives in a calm, predictable environment where he feels safe and understood.

Bubba’s Best Qualities:
• 🛏️ Champion cuddler & expert napper – loves nesting in blankets
• 🐾 Fully house-trained & crate-trained
• 💊 Takes daily medication for anxiety — it’s working well and may be lifelong
• 👀 Tolerates eye drops & nail trims with patience
• 🚶‍♂️ Prefers quiet over chaos — slow intros are best, and he doesn’t enjoy car rides or busy outings

What Bubba Needs:
• A securely fenced yard to sniff and explore at his pace
• A peaceful, adult home (or kids 14+)
• A family that values routine, gentle affection, and quiet companionship

What You’ll Get:
• A loyal best friend who bonds deeply and gives unconditional love
• Grateful eyes that look at you with trust and adoration
• Pure happiness over peanut butter, cozy spots, and your presence
• A calm, sweet companion who knows what it means to be safe—and never takes it for granted

Bubba is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to find his forever family.

🐶💛 Meet CHONK – Big Heart, Brighter Eyes! 💛🐶
This 2-year-old brindle beauty is 60 lbs of LOVE and ready to take on the world — now that he can see it! 👀✨

🏥 After losing his vision to cataracts, Chonk had surgery and is now experiencing everything with fresh eyes and a joyful heart.
🐾 LOVES other dogs (super gentle with small ones too!)
🎾 Playful, goofy, crate trained & housebroken
🧠 Knows “sit” & learning “down” — smart & eager to please
💛 Favorite things? Peanut butter, music, ear scritches, and zoomies!

Chonk can be a little shy at first, but once he trusts you — he’s all in. He thrives with other pups, so a doggy sibling would be a big bonus! 🐕🐾

📍Fostered in MD | Training support provided by PAW
📩 DM us or apply at paw-rescue.org — let’s show Chonk how beautiful life can be with YOU by his side. 🐾💕

🎾 Loves to run & play — fenced yard needed!
🦴 Learning “sit” with clicker training
🚶‍♂️ Walks well on leash (just needs a little help with pulling)
🏡 Crate? Not his fave, but he’ll go in for a treat!

Snow is friendly, gentle, and SO ready to be someone’s best friend. Could it be you? 💕

💜💜🐾💜💜Happy National Dog Day!💜💜🐾💜💜

💜🐶🐾💜Introducing CHASE, a sweet, lovable Golden Retriever. He is medium sized at about 45 pounds. This handsome boy gets along with other dogs and LOVES people. He knows basic commands, is house and crate trained, and would love a forever home.

We think Chase would be a great fit in a home with older children. If you have space in your heart and home, inquire about Chase today! A quiet neighborhood with his very own yard would be ideal.

💕🐶💕🐶Meet LASSIE – your new BFF in a 35-pound, spotted package of pure joy! This playful pup is full of energy, heart-melting cuteness, and endless love. She’s all about zoomies, sniffy adventures, and soaking up all the affection she can get.

Lassie is a total treat-motivated sweetheart (hello, easy training!), and she's always down for a game of chase or a good cuddle session after. She was surrendered by her previous owner in PG County, who suggested a home without kids, but she'd thrive with another dog buddy to play with.

Got a fenced yard? Awesome. Prefer hikes or long walks? She’s in. Car rides? Her fave. Lassie lives for exploring the outdoors and taking in the world one sniff at a time.

She’s crate- and house-trained, super people-focused, and always ready to cozy up after some fun. If you're looking for an adventure partner *and* a cuddle buddy, Lassie’s your girl!

Ready to fall in love? Come meet her!

🐕 If you are interested in adopting LASSIE please go to her bio on the website to submit an application and/or feel free to message with any questions.

💔 Dobby has spent months in a kennel waiting for someone to give him a chance. This sweet 5-year-old boy is a gentle soul who only wants one thing: a family to love.
He’s a volunteer favorite because he absolutely adores people (kids included!) and greets everyone with kisses and tail wags. 🐾
✨ Why Dobby is amazing:
60 lbs of love
Housetrained & crate trained
Knows his commands (“sit,” “stay,” “down,” “wait”)
Star student in leash training
Snuggle bunny & loyal companion
Loves fetch, car rides, and peaceful walks
Dobby just needs to be your one and only dog—but he’ll give you more than enough love to make up for it. ❤️
🏡 PAW will support his foster or adopter with training to ensure he thrives in a home.

➡️ Dobby is available for adoption, foster, or even a short-term two-week foster break to get him out of the kennel.

Please, let’s not make Dobby wait any longer for the home he deserves. Apply today to foster or adopt this sweetheart! Apply at paw-rescue.org

👀 Think you’re seeing Bert again? Nope—meet Ernie!
This 2-year-old, 12-pound pocket pup is the ultimate snuggle bug. Perky, playful, and always happy, Ernie loves walks, playtime, sniffing around, and then curling up right in your lap. 💕
Ernie came in with his buddy Bert, and while they’re two peas in a pod, they’re not bonded—so Ernie can be adopted solo, with Bert, or with another doggie friend. 🐾
In foster care, Ernie is learning house training, does well on leash, rides nicely in the car, and would happily share your bed if you let him. He’s affectionate, people-loving, and very treat motivated. 🍪
If you’re looking for a best friend who will love you more than anything, Ernie is your guy! Apply today at paw-rescue.org this sweet boy won’t be available for long!
