dale
Open to ALL adoption applications!
Dale is a 11-month-old Canaan who was rescued from overseas through Paws of War’s War-Torn Pups and Cats program. A soldier reached out for help to save Dale, who was fighting to survive. Redeployment orders meant that Dale’s hero couldn’t adopt him himself, and it is his wish that Dale finds a family to call his own.
Now safe in America, and thriving in a loving environment, Dale is the sweetest boy who is always looking for pets and belly rubs. Dale loves people, and having fur-friends but is a big for his age and doesn’t like to share his toys, so he’d do best as the only dog in the home and with children 10 years and older.
Dale is actively in training, working on his leash skills and commands, and is excelling well and is eligible to continuing training with his forever family through our training program.

meeka
Meeka is a 10-month-old Canaan pup rescued through Paws of War’s War Torn Pups and Cats program. His soldier knew they couldn’t leave him behind, but due to military duties, was unable to keep him. Their only wish is for Meeka to find a loving home where he can finally live the life he deserves.
Now safe in America, this sweet boy is ready to find his forever family!
Meeka is gentle and affectionate—shy at first, but once he warms up, he absolutely loves people and enjoys playtime. He’s a wonderful pup with so much love to give.
