Meet the dogs!

About Annie

Annie is our resident senior gal! She has short spurts of energy where she will chase and play with her foster brother for a few minutes, but more often than not she is curled up on the couch.

She has a great smile and adorable ears that perk right up. Not only does she have good looks and the perfect personality, but she has smarts too! She is potty trained, knows ‘sit’ and ‘come’ and makes for the perfect companion.

She’d be happy to be your one and only! She will need a slow intro if joining a home with another dog. Kids should be 10+.

Do you have a spot on your couch for Annie?

About Athena

Athena is a very special, 4 year old Rat Terrier/Chi mix girl looking for her forever home. She came to Paws in the City as a stray and it soon became evident that she had been neglected in the areas of socialization and training. Athena was skittish and fearful of new people and new situations. Sadly, we don’t believe anyone has ever spent time with her to teach her how to be a dog.

The good news is, Athena has made a complete turnaround! She is still a little nervous at first, but once she is comfortable with you, she LOVES to be petted and cuddled. She will even lick you to let you know when she wants more attention. She sleeps in her crate all through the night with no accidents. She’s also learned to play! She loves to play ball and chew on rope toys. She has also mastered walking on leash and potty training.

Athena would do best in a home with no other dogs because she gets a little jealous. Now that she’s had a taste of the good life and lots of attention, she doesn’t like to share. She would also love a home with a backyard. It’s one of her favorite places to be. If you’re that special someone who is willing to give Athena all the love and attention she so richly deserves, please apply to adopt at www.pawsinthecity.org

About Charlie

Hi, I’m Charlie! I’m a super sweet and happy Catahoula mix at around 6 years old. I have a beautiful golden coat with little freckles on my snout and spots all over my body with a white spot in one of my eyes–it’s a Catahoula thing. I’m a handsome guy with a great personality. I smile a lot and I like to give kisses. Speaking of things I like, getting pet is one of my favorite things, especially belly rubs!

The PITC volunteers take me on walks around the neighborhood and tell me what a good boy I am. I am very calm on walks and like to stay right by your side with a loose leash, I don’t pull. I ride in the car very well too. I will quietly ride in your back seat or will sit in a crate if that’s how you’d prefer to transport me around.

I hardly ever bark but if I do it’s only after you’ve come home after a long day and I’ve missed you. I get along with other dogs of similar size and with cats. I am a patient, sweet boy.

If I am the handsome gentleman you’ve been looking for, please fill out an application at www.pawsinthecity.org

Looking forward to meeting you Love, Charlie

About Diamond

The dictionary definition for “A diamond in the rough” is one having exceptional qualities or potential but lacking refinement or polish. This describes this precious Pit bull/Boxer mix girl to a tee.

Diamond had a very rough time before coming to Paws in the City. She was originally brought in to one of our vet partners as a drop off to check a leg that she was unable to use. The vet was told that Diamond had jumped out of the window of a moving car. The accident had happened 2 weeks prior and Diamond had been unable to walk since. At drop off the person gave their contact information and told the vet to call once the examination was finished and she would be back to pick Diamond up.

As it turned out, Diamond needed hip surgery. Attempts were made to reach the owner, but the information provided was false. Diamond was dumped at the vet by a person that did not get her medical care for 2 full weeks after she was injured.

Diamond got lucky that day. Paws in the City was called, and we came in to do what we do best – take care of dogs!

Since that day Diamond’s foster parent has seen a remarkable change in this sweet dog. Happy and getting healthier by the day her beauty is shining through and what a beauty she has turned out to be!

Diamond is potty trained, leash trained, crate trained, good with pets and friendly with kids of all ages. She knows the training commands off, leave it and sit. She’s extremely bright and picks up social cues quickly from both people and other dogs.

Are you the one to give this (almost) tragic story its happy ending? If so, go to pawsinthecity.org and fill out an application to adopt Diamond today.

About Doodle

How much do we love Doodle? Let us count the ways!

• We love his sweet cuddles and soft, furry belly
• We love his rumbly snores when he’s far off in dreamland
• We love the way he munches and crunches on his favorite snacks (frozen brussels sprouts)
• We love his smile when he’s given a new squeaky toy

Doodle is currently living with a wonderful foster family, but is excited to meet his forever family. Are you ready for some sweetness in your life? Adopt Doodle at pawsinthecity.org

About Ollie

Good Golly it’s Ollie and he sure does like his ball!

(And anything else that squeaks!)

Ollie is ready to rock and roll and have a good time. He’s well trained and looking for his furever home.

Ollie is a lab mix senior that is described as smart, good natured and full of life. Ollie is an active boy who can also calm down as needed and plant himself next to you to binge watch all of the good shows.

Ollie knows numerous commands including come, off, sit, place, heel, crate. He also walks on a leash and is potty trained.

Ollie has been working hard with his team of trainers to be the best boy he can be! He would do best as the only dog in a child free home where he can enjoy his golden years with a loving family.

About Roxy

Roxy is a 47 pound, one year old Shar Pei / terrier mix who is in urgent need of a foster or adopter.

Roxy has recently graduated from a training program with one of our partner organizations who will provide transition training sessions for the foster or adopter at no charge to you. Now that Roxy has completed her training, she is ready for a foster or adopter.

She is smart and a quick learner, good with children over the age of 10. Roxy is affectionate once she has time to settle in and warm up, good natured, polite and quiet but shy.

She makes a great “home office buddy” and will curl up on her bed nearby. Of course, she can also wait patiently at home and greet you with lots of kisses when you get home.

If you are in search of a loyal and well trained dog, please apply to foster or adopt Roxy

About Spot

Hi there! My name’s Spot, and I’m on an adventure to be the best boy ever. So far, I’ve made a lot of progress on my journey. Some nice people have taught me commands like sit, down, place and heel. They may have shown me the ropes, but I know how to bring the Spot pizzaz: If you say “Here!” then I’ll head your way with a smile.

As I become an even better boy, I need another new friend to help me. I’m looking for a strong owner who can help me keep up my training. Lay down some ground rules for me, and I promise I can follow them.

About St. Gatsby

Gatsby is still looking for a home! He’s a loyal, sweet-natured boy that loves to learn. He’s mastered all of his basic commands and knows some fancy ones too thanks to the work he’s done with his trainer. In fact, Gatsby’s trainer will meet with his adopter to give you some pointers and make sure everyone is set up for success.

Gatsby likes to go for walks, play in the yard and snuggle and get rubs. He does need to be the only dog in the home and no kiddos please. (We’re pretty sure this sweet boy will provide all the love and affection you will need!)

About Teenie

Sweet little Teenie weighs only 4lbs and is approximately 4 years old. She was found as a stray and seems to have been on the streets for a while because she’s very thin and doesn’t feel well. Paws In The City is going to put her in a great foster home where she’ll have time to rest, recover, and fatten up!

About Tex

Tex is a fun loving guy. He is very obedient. He can sit, down, place and come with the best of them. He is super sweet and affectionate. He loves to run after balls, but he is not so great at bringing them back. What can we say? A retriever, he is not! 😉

He loves to go on hikes and walks. He also loves to lay by your feet, when just hanging out. He would do best as an only dog in a child free home, but teens are a-OK. He lights up when he sees his people in the mornings and after work.
