Take Paws Rescue

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but have you considered a nine-pound Shih Tzu instead? Trust us, she’s much softer, slightly more vocal, and significantly easier to cuddle.

Meet Juliet, a one-year-old dynamo who recently decided that living as a stray in a rural shelter was simply beneath her station. When she arrived, she was—to put it mildly—a "work in progress," as she was filthy, matted, and rocking a look we’ll call "accidental swamp creature."

However, beneath the tangles, we knew there was a hidden gem, so we pulled her from the shelter the very second her stray hold was up. It is truly a mystery how someone could leave such a precious soul behind, but their loss is your absolute gain.

She is currently rocking a "post-shelter buzzcut," and while she has been very brave about embracing the minimalist aesthetic, we have already booked her a high-end spa day to get her professionally trimmed and looking like the royalty she believes she is.

We are still uncovering the many layers of this tiny lady, but the consensus so far is that she is 100% sweetheart and 0% drama. Her affection levels are officially off the charts, making her an expert at being a loving, sweet, and perfectly portable companion.

Best of all, she comes ready to join your family. Juliet is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and scheduled to be spayed soon.

If you are looking for a tiny co-pilot for your couch, a professional lap-warmer, and a dog who has officially retired from the "roughing it" lifestyle, Juliet is waiting for you.

Are you ready to be the Romeo to her forever home? 💖🐾

Meet Freddy! 🖤

At just ~6 months old & 29lbs (with some more growing left to do), Freddy is the perfect blend of playful puppy energy and sweet, affectionate companionship.

This handsome black poodle mix came to us after being found as a stray in a rural shelter. When nobody came looking for him, we knew we had to give him the second chance he deserved. And wow, are we glad we did!

Freddy is one of those dogs who makes you smile every day. He’s incredibly loving, eager to please, & always ready for his next adventure. Whether he’s playing with another dog, exploring the backyard, or soaking up affection from his people, Freddy approaches life with enthusiasm & a wagging tail.

He’s dog-friendly, kid-friendly, treat-motivated, & already knows how to sit. He willingly goes into his crate when he wants a safe place to relax & has shown all the signs of being a very smart boy who is ready to learn even more. With positive reinforcement on house training, some consistency, and a pocket full of treats, there’s no telling what this pup could accomplish.

When Freddy first arrived, he seemed unsure of gentle touch & would occasionally flinch or pull away, making us wonder if life hadn’t always been kind to him. But whatever happened before is behind him now. Every day, he grows more confident, more trusting, & more excited about the wonderful life ahead of him. His resilience is truly inspiring!

Because he’s still a young, energetic pup, Freddy would thrive in active home with another playful dog to help him burn off some energy & show him the ropes. A securely fenced yard would be a huge bonus, along with an active family excited to continue his training & help him become the amazing adult dog he’s destined to be.

Freddy is now neutered & ready to start the next chapter of his life with a family of his very own. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, a hiking buddy, a playmate, and a pup whose potential is as big as his heart, Freddy may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.

For eight years, the world was simple for SueSue. It was defined by the soft, familiar scent of her favorite person, the quiet routine of a calm household, and the gentle rhythm of a life lived side-by-side with her human.

But at 12 years old, the life SueSue knew began to fade. Her person, struggling with the shadows of dementia, could no longer provide the care they once shared. Through no fault of her own, the only home SueSue has ever known became uncertain, and the future suddenly turned cold.

Now, this sweet senior lady is looking for a new chapter.

SueSue is a delightful Dachshund mix, weighing in at a cuddly 25 lbs. She is fully spayed and will be up-to-date on all vaccinations, ensuring she is ready to transition smoothly into her new home.

SueSue is a professional at being a good girl. She has lived peacefully with other dogs and is house-trained, utilizing potty pads or heading outside with equal grace. She isn't looking for long runs or wild adventures; she is simply looking for a soft place to rest her head.

She is a soul who has spent nearly a decade perfecting the art of companionship. She is waiting for someone who understands that a senior dog isn’t just a pet—she is a lifetime of stories, a quiet comfort at the end of a long day, and a heart that still has plenty of love left to give.

Because she has spent her life in a quiet, mature environment, SueSue would thrive best in a home that matches her gentle spirit—a calm, adult-oriented space where she can nap in the sun, follow you from room to room, and know, finally, that she is safe.

She has given eight years of unwavering devotion to one person. Now, she is hoping to find someone to walk with her through her golden years.

Could that someone be you? 🤍
