Hello there, my name is Cobweb ( 4 months old)  but my foster parents call me Webby for short. I am just a little tike according to my foster parents. I can easily get lost in the house where they must come find me. Hahahah jokes on them. I love playing with my foster brother and chase after him. My foster sister really doesn’t want anything to do with me so I have learned just to leave her alone. I didn’t know anything about this potty training stuff until I came up here from Texas. I am happy to toot my own horn and say I am catching on but still do forget I need to do that outside and sometimes potty in the house. I have no problem waking my foster mom up at night to go outside, she is half asleep but when I have to go, I have to go. I sometimes will cry in the crate when I don’t want to be in there but will settle down after some time. I LOVE to be by my people and will follow my foster parents everywhere they go. I like to hang out with my foster mom and sleep when she is working. I am showing my foster parents my true personality which is fun. I love to take my foster parents shoes and carry them around the house. The other morning, I grabbed her shirt that she accidentally left on the floor and ran around the house with that. HAHAHAHA, that was fun!  My foster mom says I am a sweet girl who likes to snuggle. Chewing and putting everything in my mouth is my favorite thing to do so having toys to chew on is a must. I would prefer a home with a fur sibling so I have someone to play with and can show me the ropes. Do you think I could be part of your family, and will you give me a furever home? I promise Ill be good and listen if you just give me the chance. show less

Meet Coco !  This little 4 year old beauty of 55 pounds will steal your heart once you look into those liquid brown eyes of hers. She might bark when you’re coming up the walk, but once you’re in the door, she’s all hugs and kisses. Coco is friendly, outgoing and affectionate. She is not at all skittish when she meets new humans. Coco’s favorite activity is chasing small animals, and she’s surprisingly agile, considering she has only 3 legs, due to an auto accident a few years back. Part of her impulse control training is learning to respect the resident cat. She is doing okay with that, although is not yet allowed to interact directly- only through a gate. Coco’s foundational training is underway, and will need her humans to commit to an on-going training regimen. She’s a quick and eager learner, but easily distracted when outside. Inside, she is calm and relaxed, always comes when called, sits when asked, gives great eye contact and is getting the hang of “leave it”.  Coco loves being with people, is housetrained, goes willingly into her crate, has no destructive tendencies and loves to go for car rides, although getting into the back of an SUV can be a challenge for her. She has more confidence going in one of the side doors. Going up stairs is said to be more challenging for Tripawds than going down; the only stairs she currently needs to contend with are two steps leading to my door. She has no issues with these.  She gets excited when I put my walking shoes on and has energy to spare on our hour long daily walks. She gets a bit overstimulated when we see other dogs closer than a hundred feet and we are working on some counter conditioning to make her more comfortable in those situations. Although the park is her favorite because of all the exciting smells, she is comfortable walking anywhere and not bothered by traffic, trucks, busses or other loud noises. Another crucial skill we are working on is walking on a loose leash without pulling.  Coco is a fabulous work in progress!  She will make some very lucky human a faithful and loving companion. show less

Hey y’all! Dani here ( 2 to 3 years old). I want you to know, life can be tough! I had a painful curveball thrown at me. If you’re going through something, I get it. But there are so many cool things we could check out together! I love to check out lakes, streams, and trails. Don’t let my appearance fool you, I can hike and hop on rocks with the best of them! I’m also a super fast runner and my foster siblings get embarrassed when I out run them. After we check out all the cool places together, we can go home and dance. That will make both of us smile! Toys are cool but I just want your attention and to explore together. Sometimes I pester the cat but nothing she can’t handle. I love to play with other dogs but my foster mom doesn’t have any children so I haven’t been tested around them yet. I wasn’t ever properly trained so I’m looking for someone who wants to teach me! I’ll listen to everything you say but it might take me a few hundred times to understand what you want. We’ll get there together, it will be another thing to smile about when we do! Are you a picky eater? Me too! I like hamburgers but hold the bun and fries. If the chicken isn’t seasoned right, I ain’t touchin’ it! I always want to know what’s in your hand and on the counters but that doesn’t mean I’ll eat it. Old habits of a scavenger die hard!  Let’s go on some adventures together. I can ride shotgun for hours and I’ll even let you pick the tunes. High five!…right side only!🙂 show less

Hi everyone! My name is Faith and I am a 5 month old, 30 pound mixed breed puppy.  My foster mom says that I am so special and that she didn’t know they made puppies like me.  I’m pretty calm, sweet, silly, and quiet most of the time.  I don’t nip and I am fully potty trained . Snuggling and being by my humans is my favorite—I LOVE people so much and they all love me.  Sometimes I do a somersault while you pet me because I gotta get on my back quickly so you can rub my belly. 😋    I live with 2 crabby resident dogs that I am very respectful of, and 4 human siblings (ages 13, 11, 9, and 5).  The kids love me soooo much since I am so easy going and gentle.  Sometimes my family thinks I am part rabbit because I jump or try to sit up on my hind legs! We are working on keeping all four of my paws on the floor.  Foster mom thinks I’ll figure it out soon since I am super smart and I already know how to sit.    One thing you should know about me is that I have a lucky eye.  When I was living on the streets in Texas, I hurt my eye pretty badly. I’m all better now, but I can’t see very much out of my left eye.  My mom says my eye is pretty lucky since it’s a reminder of what I’ve overcome in my short life and of how great things turned out for me and my siblings.  Even though I’m not perfect, I’ve gotta have faith that my perfect people are out there looking for me. Are you looking for a chill, lower energy puppy that will blend right into your pack? show less

Hello everyone, Festus here. I am a 2-3 year old amazing boy! My foster mom tells me I am the most handsome boy ever and I love hearing that 😊  I am quite large, coming in around 85-90lbs even with being a little skinny. Although my foster mom does not know much about my background, she tells me I was clearly loved by someone who took time to train me. I know several commands, walk like a gem on a leash, and am fully house trained.  I am very true to my breed and protective of my family. I will bark at strangers and other dogs passing by. However, I am very nice and just want to play with everyone. When I get really excited, I have jumped on my adult fosters, never their kids. I am working on that but might do best in a home with older or dog savvy children. I do not like to get in trouble, so I quickly correct my actions if my foster mom tells me no. She says I am the best listener and wishes my foster siblings were as well behaved as me.  I love being active. Long walks, running in the woods, or lots of games of fetch are a must. I would prefer a home with space to play or an active family who can exercise me daily. My foster siblings are fun to play with and even though I am much larger than them, I play very gentle. When I have had enough, I let you know and enjoy going to my large space in the garage for relaxation time. Head nuzzles and couch time are the best and after a long day, I go nicely into my kennel area for bed. I sleep all night on my comfy dog bed and wait patiently in the morning for my humans to take me outside. Although my foster family loves me very much, I know it is just a temporary stay. I am ready to meet my new family. Is that you? show less

Hello there, I'm Fletcher! I’m about 10 months old and the biggest love bug that wants to please my people! I’m a solid boy weighing in at 58 lbs. I’ve crashed at a few foster homes and they all have found that I get a tad nervous in unfamiliar situations. I have come a LONG way. I have a lot of puppy in me and sometimes make bad choices (who doesn’t), so I need someone that is a strong pack leader, that can give me boundaries and structure. I LOVE playing with other dogs, but I can be a little pushy. I guess I don’t always hear the word ‘no’. 😂 BUT, if you give me a firm NO, I know you are the boss.  My furever home will want to give me space and slow intros when I meet new people and other dogs. I still need help growing my confidence so I've got my eye out for a fellow canine companion and someone that will help me with socialization to help keep me from being afraid of things. Im so smart! I love being challenged with games and training. Bring on the puzzles. Oh! And I’m super food and treat motivated! Potty training? Consider that mastered. So, if you're ready for a loyal buddy who's got a taste for adventure and a sprinkle of sass, I'm your guy! Let's make some memories together!   Ah, I’m also crate trained and love a good bone to chew on.  So, if you're ready for a load of cuteness and maybe even a running buddy, I'm the pawfect companion for your adventures! show less

Hi my name is Holly.  I was born in Missouri on Aug 30th, 2023 (There were 7 of us).  I came to WI at about 10 weeks.  I love the snow here.  When I first moved in with my foster parents my life totally changed from what I knew.  I was scared and just wanted to hide.  I didn’t know what humans or touch was.  That’s not me anymore! At my foster home I live with another species of my kind (she’s wild) but gentle with me. I’m learning a lot with my new dog friend. There is a noisy parrot named Polly (really, Holly and Polly, what were my foster parents thinking).  There is also a toddler that comes to play with me. Loud noises and unexpected noises startle me.  I am getting some desensitization work to get through this.  Treats are a great motivator for me. I am gaining confidence.  I also do well on a leash. We only go for walks in the yard right now. I have my very own room, they call it a kennel.  I go in my room to chill and sleep in it all night.  No worries, I wake my people up to check on them in the middle of the night.  We go outside to potty since we are up.  Then back to bed. Potty training is a skill I am learning. I know my name and am learning recall (practice, practice, practice). I am learning sit and down also.  Treats motivate me! So a recap:  I’m a gentle soul, supper cute and smart!  I would do great in a home with another dog to help me continue to learn and gain confidence.  Kids would be great too.  I have learned what love and a home is all about.  Looking for my forever home.  I would love to meet you to see if we are a match! With Love, Holly (my foster mom helped me write this) show less

Hope IV: Heeeeyyyyyy! My name is Hope (IV) 😃 I'm about 5 months old, funny, sometimes a little shy, and friendly as can be once I've had a minute to get my bearings. I LOVE to snuggle, and by snuggle I mean I love to be where you are and lay flat out on my back to take up as much room as I can. Please keep your hand on me, even if it's not moving, because it really helps me snore 😴 🙂  I'm getting used to this leash idea, I really didn’t like it for a couple days after getting here to Wisconsin, but now I understand it means we're going outside to have fun!😃😄 I still don't understand how to "walk nice" on it, but I pretty much just follow Miss Sarah and the other dogs and that seems to work for now.  I love all the other dogs here, sometimes too much and the old lady Mollie has to remind me that I'm being "extra" - I don't mind, I try again and then go find something else to do. I'm also working on this whole "don't steal toys" thing.... some of the dogs don't mind sharing, and the ones that do tell me politely and if I don't listen Miss Sarah helps me. Speaking of toys! I would really like a family that wears slippers so that I can steal the slipper and jump up on the couch so that you bring me a dog toy to trade so that I can steal the slipper again and you bring me another toy and we play that super fun game until I have all the toys 🤞🙌 Miss Sarah says I'm part kangaroo (whatever that is) but that I'm getting better each day at remembering to sit, or keep four on the floor, instead of jump up for what I want. Basically, I'm a typical puppy🤷‍♀️🙃 who does very well with positive reinforcement and learns quickly. I have only had ONE accident since I got here - it was my first night and I wasn't sure how to ask to use the bathroom😬 - but since then I've only gone potty outside. I even ask now by going to the door and sitting, and coming back to see if you noticed.😇 I'm quiet in my kennel all night, and love to nap on the couch after I get my breakfast, potty break, and zoomies. I would appreciate a fun group class to fulfill the training requirement in the contract. Going to a class to learn new skills will really help me gain confidence and not be so shy in new situations 😀😍 I absolutely LOVE tiny humans! I've been an office dog at Miss Sarah's work this week, and I get very excited to meet Tiny Humans. As soon as they come in by me, I am gentle and snuggly. I don't jump on the tiny humans at all and take treats very gently from them! I've met tiny humans ages 2 1/2-10 years old and been so good with all of them! You can apply to adopt me (only if you promise to play the slipper game 😘) at: www.wpgsr.com show less

Jojo Hi!  I’m JoJo.  I’m approx 6 months old and my foster mama says I’m sooo sweet.  I came to White Paws with my brother and sister.  I was pretty scared with all the changes and didn’t realize all the wonderful things that come with being in a house and having people… we had never been in a house before.  When I first got here I spent a lot of time in my kennel watching and listening, even now I’ll still go hang out in my kennel with the door open if things are overwhelming or I want to rest.  My foster mama told me it was ok, and I had all the time I needed to figure out what being in a house was and that it would take time for me to be able to trust.  It took me a bit, and when my furever finds me I’ll probably need some patience & hot dogs again. (I really like hot dogs!) Foster mama says she is so proud of me and how far I’ve already come.  I follow one of her dogs around and he has really helped me learn what being in a house is all about.  I get treats, and lay on the couch, oh and I get chin scratches and sometimes I roll over for belly rubs!!!  Oh oh oh… and there are these things called toys! When I first got here I’d “sneak” out of my kennel to grab one and then I’d hide them all in my kennel or under the table… but now I carry them around and leave them out for foster mama to step on!  She did say I can bring my favorite with me (she might be hoping it’s the noisy pig!) The leash was scary at first, but now every time I go outside foster mama puts a leash on me (even though she has a fence) so just in case something scary happens she can help me.   She hasn’t had to use that leash much anymore!  I go in and out of the house, and I’ve almost got this potty training thing down… although I might need some patience when I readjust to my furever.  I love being outside and laying in the grass. She tells me that some day we will go for a walk with friends, I’m not sure what that means, but I’m sure having a friend will make it more fun.  There is this thing called a cat here… he hisses and has chased me!  Thankfully my foster mamas dog saved me, so I stay far away.   I don’t understand why the other dogs chase the squirrels and bunnies so I think a nice cat in my new home would be ok! My foster mama has three dogs here and I do well with them.  As I’ve relaxed they are more fun, but it can take me a little bit sometimes because I’m still learning what playing is.  So I need a home with a confident and respectful new best friend to help me. Foster mama also has 2 younger kids (7 & 10), and even though they are respectful of me I am still very nervous around them.  I don’t do anything bad, I just prefer to stay away from them, although the my have started to win me over (yep those hot dogs again).  So foster mama says I would do best in a furever home with older kids, that isn’t super busy all of the time.  My favorite is her 13 year old son! I follow him around, and didn’t run to my kennel when he used the blender!  Foster mama says the right family is out there for me, and they’ll love me furever!  Maybe it’s you!!  Until then, foster mama will keep working with me so the world is more fun and less scary when you find me!  show less

  Myka is an approximately 3 year old Belgian Malinois that was adopted from Texas. She is incredibly sweet and quite an attention lover and sometimes attention hog. She does well with other dogs of all sizes. She has lived for a year with a lab and has had visiting dogs of many sizes all the way down to a 10# chihuahua and has played very well with him. However, Myka would do best in a home with no kitties as these critters do not play well together.    Myka is very friendly with all sizes and shapes of humans, but her extremely waggy tail is just the same height as the face of toddlers so beware of the little ones wandering through. She has never bit or nipped, but does sometimes get over excited and attention hoggish as mentioned before when other dogs seem to be getting more love than her.    Myka loves being around her humans, but does not do well when left alone. Sometimes she likes to chew and pull on furniture or in-reach household things. She does go into her very large kennel willingly but will chew up any blanket inside or pull things into the kennel and chew up if able to reach through the holes.   She has no medical concerns, is fully vaccinated, and spayed. Also, she is very very beautiful, including her bendy ear, loves slow pets between her eyes, is excellent on walks, and likes to help cook. When taking baths she doesn't even need a collar/leash, she just wants patiently to shake off when you least expect to get drenched.    Myka is the sweetest puppers and puts her paw on your knee to let you know you simply aren't giving her enough attention. ❤️ show less

Nettles is around one year old, with a unique brindle coat and one floppy ear - aka adorable! She knows basic skills like “come” and “sit”, and is completely potty trained. Nettles roams free in my dog-proofed house and is content with a frozen Kong and a nap while I’m at work for 8+ hours. She’s dog-friendly and loves to run, wrestle, and play with other canines. Like any pup this sweet, smart, and lovely, Nettles also has a few quirks! She is on medication for anxiety and likely will be long-term. I accompany her medication with lots of mental stimulation like licki mats and sniffaris in the yard, and with the combination she’s pretty happy. Nettles also has a high prey drive so won’t do well with cats, rodents, or likely small dogs. She can jump a 4’ fence, so taller fencing or a long-line will probably be necessary.  Nettles will require patience from her new person as it takes her some time to warm up and come out of her shell. Once she does, though, she is SUPER affectionate! She ignores other humans she’s gotten used to, but loves on me ALL the time. She has a silly, fun personality and will absolutely be worth your time! If you’re up for a pup with a few needs who gives you back her love tenfold, Nettles is the girl for you! show less

Hi there.  My name is Spyke.  I’m approximately 5-6 months old and all I want for Christmas is a home to call my own!  I’m a super sweet boy and I am getting so spoiled and comfortable in my foster home and it’s time for me to find my furever home.  If you want a dog that is a couch potato, I’m your guy.  If you want a dog that doesn’t bark, I’m your guy. If you want a dog that rides like a dream in the car, I’m your guy. If you want a dog that gets along well with other dogs, then I’m your guy and if you want a dog that is curious but deathly afraid of cats, then I too, am your guy!!  I’m also pretty chill and mellow and do not have the high energy of a typical puppy. I am a little shy and timid when meeting new people so I need slower introductions at first.  I’m also really close to being fully potty trained! I get super excited when it’s time to eat and I run into my crate anxiously awaiting my meal!  I live with 3 other dogs and they have really taught me what it’s like to be a dog as I didn’t know much of anything when I came here and stayed really close to my mom’s side but I finally started venturing out and following lead from the other dogs. If you think I would be a perfect fit for your family, then I’m your guy :-) show less

My name is Starla( will be 5 in February)and my paperwork says I’m a Rottweiler mix and my foster mom thinks that mix might be husky! Who knows what I might be but I sure do love people. I have yet to meet a stranger when my mom takes me out and about.  I do really well on a leash and would love a home that walks me or takes me on adventures. I love being outside and my mom has showed me that the outside is nothing to be afraid off. When we see squirrels and deer I pay no attention to them on walks. I can even walk past other dogs and don’t care! My mom is currently showing me how to be a dog and play with frisbees outside I’m really starting to get the hang of it I love to bring them back when she throws them! She is also working on this thing called recall which I am getting really good at.  I like other dogs but best with Male dogs. I can be selective with females.   When inside I just want to be up on the couch with you and get as close to you as possible. My mom has been teaching me house manners and I have come a long way. I kennel really well and don’t make a peep once in it. When let out in the morning I go straight to the door for potty time. I also like to follow my mom in the house wherever she goes, she doesn’t like to be alone. I will nap behind her while she is working most of the day.  My mom doesn’t think I would do well in a house with really little kids because when I get the zoomies I tend to rearange furniture and  I am a pretty big girl and would most likely knock little ones over with my energy.  I would really like to find a forever home because I have so much love to give. I also get compliments often on my good looks. show less

Yoni, Yoni, Oxen Free! That is what my foster momma sings to me when I am acting silly. My real name is Yoni ( JUST Yoni 7 months old). I was born in Texas with my brother and sister and then we made the LONG trip to Wisconsin in August. Man was that scary. Thank goodness I had my foster family to help me figure out how to live in a house and learn that things are not as scary as they seem. I am still working hard on that last part. With all of the help my foster momma gave me I have become protective of her. She keeps telling me that other people are safe and our friend comes over to work with me on this also. My next family will need to make sure to continue socializing me, working on training, and be a strong leader. Also little kids really make me nervous because they just move sooooo fast so it would be best to have a house with no young children.  So onto the FUN stuff 🙂! I love going for walks, hiking, chewing on my toys, playing with my foster doggies ( I need slow introductions), helping my mom with laundry, cooking, cleaning, and snuggling up to watch tv. Car rides are so much fun. I like to sit in the back seat and watch out the window. So many new things to see and smell. I recently found out how much I enjoy being brushed. OMGOODNESS it feels so good I just lay there and let my foster momma fluff all my fur up and doze off to sleep until she has to flip me over for the other side. She said that I am a big fur butt but I don't shed too much as long as I get a weekly brushing. She has also tried doing this weird thing of brushing my teeth and cleaning my ears. I let her do it as I am a good girl but I didn't really like that. Paw Sundays is also one of my favorites.... She clips, then files my nails and I end up falling asleep. She calls me a big baby but I think being a dog is tough work.  I really would love to find a family of my own that will guide me through my fears and love me unconditionally. I promise I am a good girl that is worth it and will give you all of my love back. You will never have to potty alone again 😉.
