🐶Check out this awesome update we received about Dolly, previously Moana:

"When I first met Dolly, I knew there was something special about her. Bringing her home was the beginning of a wonderful new chapter in my life. She has become my companion, my little shadow, and someone I can always count on to make me smile. Dolly has brought so much love and happiness into our home, and I'm grateful every day that we found each other. Adopting her wasn't just about giving a dog a home-it was about gaining a best friend."

If you'd like to share updates about your pets adopted from PAWS, please reach out! 💙And if you're looking to add a new friend to your home, stop by and see us! We'll be open today until 3 PM.🐾
