These sweet senior gal pals seek a foster ASAP! Diabetic kitty Blaze & her non-diabetic friend Sky lost their home after their human’s health sadly declined. Blaze is the most urgent as she is diabetic & was not receiving meds or special diet prior to arriving at PAWS 🧵

A happy tale to combat the Sunday scaries: Pickles charmed everyone he met when he arrived at PAWS in October, but he had no luck finding an adopter. Many miles away in Canada, Colinne & Peter were ready to open their hearts to a new dog after saying goodbye to their PAWS pup.

Spunky kitten Donkey Kong needed a playmate, but was too naughty for our other cats. His energy & rough-and-tumble play style seemed to overwhelm everyone he met - until Mojito arrived. This fun-loving pup was overjoyed to have a friend who loved to run & play as much as he did!

With his crinkly ear & funny little mouth, Infinity is as cute as he is friendly! This sweet ex-stray enjoys pets & a good sunbeam to bathe in ☀️ He loves the company of his people but is also content to relax on his own.

Kaiju wants to meet you! Kaiju would love a calming presence and patience, since he's more timid at first. He can't wait to explore the nooks and crannies of a new home and he'd love someone to keep him company for most of the day. Learn more;
