ALT Let's celebrate our first adoption of #EmptyTheShelters ! Happy Adoption Day to Benji! Empty the Shelters is September 18th - 30th with $70 adult dog adoptions and $35 adult cat adoptions thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation 💗🐾 Benji is the dog who was found at a campsite in Ukiah, and this gentleman laid on the ground for 3 hours trying to get Benji to come to him. He told us if no owner came forward, he knew he was meant to adopt this dog. Thank you to everyone who helps animals 💗 You make the world a better place.

ALT Let's meet another one of our dogs who is in foster! Sadly, Scoobert has been at PAWS for nearly his entire life. Scoobert was first found in front of PAWS as an abandoned puppy. He has been adopted and returned a few times, through no fault of his own. Scoobert has a big heart and even a bigger love for cuddles. He is great with dogs, cats, kids, and is both crate and house trained. This playful, energetic dog loves to romp with other dogs and has a goofy personality to match. He's made great progress with his manners and is eager to please, though he'll need continued leash training. Scoobert would thrive in an active home that will give him plenty of exercise and, of course, snuggles. Please take a moment to share this post to help Scoobert find his fur-ever home! ❤ #dogs #adoptdontshop

ALT Let's meet another one of our long-term dogs! This is Echo! 💗🐾 Echo is a beautiful Siberian Husky mix who came to us from a tragic situation. While her original owner was at work, another dog in the home attacked Echo so severely that she required surgery, or she would be euthanized. Understandably, Echo came to us very afraid of everything. Echo has been thriving in a foster home where she has learned to trust other dogs who are similar to her in size. She has also learned to get along with a cat in her foster home, though we would always exercise caution when introducing her to cats or any dogs much smaller than she is. Echo is shy at first, but warms up to people once she knows them. Just like some people need extra understanding and trauma informed care, we recommend the same approach for Echo. She has enjoyed meeting people at adoption events, but she has yet to find the right person. Like many huskies, Echo is a runner...

ALT This means that when she is off-leash, you can't always count on her to come back to you. We would recommend not letting Echo off-leash unless you are in a fenced in area. Like we said, she comes from a background of trauma, and if something scares her, her instinct is to run. If you've read this far and think you're the right person for Echo, please contact us. We know the right person is out there for Echo! #dogs #adoptdontshop
