****We are Pets Are Worth Saving (P.A.W.S) – Stephenville, TX - We are a small, foster based animal rescue, 501(c)3 non-profit organization, based out of Stephenville, TX. We work to rehabilitate and rehome unwanted cats and dogs in Stephenville and surrounding towns. We have recently expanded our scope to include Hamilton County, TX and are currently working with the City of Hamilton and the Hico Police Department to find loving foster and permanent homes for dogs that have been abandoned and have ended up in the Hamilton Pound or the Hico Animal Shelter. Pets Are Worth Saving (P.A.W.S.)’s mission is to sponsor low cost spay/neuter and wellness exams, provide community education and provide food and supplies to those in need. We also do our best to find loving homes for abandoned, neglected, or abused animals. Our animals are vaccinated and on preventatives. Animals older than six months are spayed or neutered. We are in Texas, and we transport our dogs North because Texas is overflowing with unwanted dogs. If you are interested in learning more about our organization, or any of our animals, please send an email to h4mpounddogs@gmail.com **** COLE is LOCATED in HICO, TX Looking for a great walking companion?

The "Why We Love Him" List: The Ultimate Hiking Partner: If you love the outdoors, Cole is your guy. He has a "natural heel" and focuses beautifully once he’s out of the kennel and on the trail. The Selective Socialite: Cole is great with other dogs! He appreciates a respectful introduction, making him a perfect candidate for a home with a canine sibling. The Professional Cuddler: Once he knows you, Cole is a "leaner." He’ll press his head against your knee to let you know he’s all yours. Healthy & Ready: He’s already neutered, heartworm negative, and fully UTD on shots. No "vet-visit homework" required! A Quick Note on First Impressions: If you meet Cole at the kennel, you’ll see his "pogo stick" impression. Don't let it fool you! That’s just 2.5 years of Lab-energy sitting in a small box. The second he’s on a leash, that frantic energy disappears, and he becomes a focused, eager-to-please companion. Cole's Ideal Home: A place where he can finally unpack his bags. He’d love a yard to play fetch in, a consistent routine, and a person who understands that the best friendships are built on a little bit of patience. The Stats: Age: 2.5 Years Personality: Playful, Resilient, Loyal Compatibility: Great with other dogs; would thrive in an active household. Stop scrolling and start strolling!
