Paw My Pets

Someone had dumped the mama and her pups off and never looked back. Dogs have an incredible ability to bring joy into our lives with their loyalty, boundless energy, and heartwarming affection.

Four-year-old Rusty is begging for a kind and loving human to call his own. Sadly, the Campbell MO Animal Control is a small rural shelter and does not attract many adopters. For months, rescuers have been sharing Rusty’s plight on social media, but not one person or rescue organization has answered the call for help.

Are you thinking about getting a dog for the first time? It’s exciting, but picking the right breed can be tough. While all dogs can be loving companions, some breeds are easier for first-time pet owners to handle than others. Knowing which breeds might be tougher to manage ahead of time can help you find the perfect pup to match your lifestyle and set you up for a happy life together. We’ve taken some guesswork out of the process and compiled a list of the worst dogs for first-time owners, based on expert opinions across eight websites. It’s not that these dogs aren’t lovable – they just might be better suited for experienced pet owners. Did we miss a breed you wish we added to the list? Comment below.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

UNIONTOWN, Pa. (KDKA) - Fayette Friends of Animals are asking for help identifying a man who dropped off an undernourished dog at their kennel earlier this week. The shelter said that around 12 a.m. on Monday, August 12, a man was able to unlock the gate and enter the kennel, leaving the young female German Shepherd to be found in the morning. They said want to raise awareness and identify the man responsible for leaving the dog. Also, according to the shelter, they're reminding people that if they want to surrender an animal to them, contact them directly. "We understand that life can bring unexpected challenges, and we do everything we can to help. However, there is a process we must follow to ensure the safety and well-being of all the animals in our care," they said in an email provided to KDKA. While they said they may not always have space for animals people may want to surrender, they did say they offer resources to help find solutions. "Let's work together to ensure all animals are treated with the care and respect they deserve," they said. Anyone with information is being asked to contact Fayette Friends of Animals at 724-245-7815.
