About Pawpaw

Meet Pawpaw, a charming adult male dog who's part of a group of nine small mixed breeds rescued from a rural shelter. This guy, like his companions, is a bit timid right now, possibly due to his past experiences. However, we believe he has the potential to thrive with the right approach. Weighing around 15-25 pounds, he has a sweet disposition and is eager to form a loving bond, though he may need extra time to come out of his shell. Pawpaw gets along well with other dogs and truly craves affection, even if he doesn't yet know how to express it fully. He's ready for a patient adopter who can introduce him to a brighter future. Could you be the one to give Pawpaw the loving home he deserves? APPLY TO ADOPT: finalvictoryrescue.com. We're located in South Carolina and transport to the northeast weekly.
