About Pawpaw

Pawpaw is one of the lovely souls from a group of nine small mixed breed dogs who were surrendered together from a rural county shelter. These little ones are understandably scared and in need of gentle patience as they adjust. They weigh between 15 to 25 pounds and are all dog-friendly, eager to love but unsure how to show it. Pawpaw, like the others, requires dedicated adopters who can provide a safe space for him to decompress and learn how to trust again. We assured Pawpaw that he deserves the best days ahead. Could you be the one to show him the love he craves? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
