Looking for a pup that loves water? 🌊 ☀️ Rockie is your guy!

This handsome doggo makes friends with people quickly and loves playing in the pool here at PAWS! Once he feels comfortable, his playful and affectionate side really shines. His previous home described him as fun, crate-trained, and an absolute joy to be around. 🧡

Rockie is looking for a home with direct access to a fenced yard outside a busy urban environment. He is still working on his leash skills and socialization around other dogs, so he’ll need an adopter who can continue supporting his training and safely manage his strength on walks. Because of this, Rockie would do best as the only dog in the home.

If you’re a Shepherd lover looking for a loyal companion to grow with, Rockie is available for adoption at PAWS in Lynnwood! 🔗 paws.org/adopt/dogs/

Have you seen a Mountain Beaver before?! 🦫 These rodents are found only in the Pacific Northwest, and many people are surprised to learn about them!

This male Mountain Beaver came to the PAWS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center after being found by a dog. He had scattered wounds and fur loss on his face and back, and our wildlife team treated him for a suspected fungal infection. Thankfully, he made a quick recovery! After 25 days in care, he was healthy enough to be released back into the wild where he belongs.

Mountain beavers may share a name with beavers, but they're actually a completely different kind of rodent. Mountain beavers belong to the family Aplodontiidae and are actually the only living species in that entire family. They are not closely related to true beavers, which belong to the family Castoridae.

🌟 Fun Fact: Mountain beavers are expert diggers that create complex underground tunnel systems.
