Name: Paige
Age: 4 months
Breed: German Shepherd Mix
S*x: Female (Spayed)
Location: Lockport

Paige and her littermates were rescued from Texas only days before they were scheduled to be euthanized. Her difficult beginning is now behind her, and this sweet girl is safe, healthy, and searching for the loving home she deserves!

Paige knows pretty quickly when she feels safe and comfortable with someone, so please don’t be discouraged if she needs a little time to warm up. With patience and space to build trust at her own pace, her loving and loyal personality begins to shine. Once you earn her trust, Paige will happily curl up beside you on the couch for plenty of snuggles.

Paige enjoys playing with her canine foster siblings, but she can be selective about her dog friends. She is crate trained, knows “sit” and “down,” is making great progress with potty training, and is continuing to work on her leash-walking skills.

A fenced yard or a home with plenty of land is preferred, giving Paige space to play, exercise, and explore. She is looking for a home without cats or children under 13.

Is Paige the happy ending your family has been searching for? 💕

If you’re interested in adopting Paige, please apply at https://www.716paws.org/adopt. If you’re already pre-approved, message the rescue to be added to her list.

Name: Paris
Age: 4 months
Breed: German Shepherd Mix
S*x: Female (Spayed)
Location: Lockport

Paris was rescued from Texas with her littermates just days before they were scheduled to be euthanized. Now safe, healthy, and happy, she is ready to find the forever family she deserves!

Paris is selective about who she trusts and will let you know right away if she feels safe and comfortable with you but don’t be discouraged! She simply needs a patient person who will allow her to build trust at her own pace. Once she feels secure, Paris has so much love to give. She is incredibly loyal and will happily snuggle up with you on the couch.

Paris loves to play with her canine foster siblings, but she is dog selective. She is crate trained, knows “sit” and “down,” is doing well with potty training, and is currently working on walking on a leash.
A fenced yard or plenty of land is preferred so she has room to exercise and explore. She is looking for a home without cats or children under 13.

Could you be the happy ending Paris has been waiting for? 💕

If you’re interested in adopting Paris, please apply at https://www.716paws.org/adopt. If you’re already pre-approved, message the rescue to be added to her list.
