Dogs for Adoption in Finleyville, PA: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

If you’ve always wanted a Lab in a fun-sized package, Biscuit might just be your guy!

If you’ve always wanted a Lab in a fun-sized package, Honey might just be your girl!

Adrian is looking for a patient, understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to build his confidence at his own pace. He isn't the kind of dog who will necessarily run up to greet you right away, but watching him slowly come out of his shell and learn to trust is incredibly rewarding.

With a little patience, a gentle approach, and lots of love, we know Adrian has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. If you have a soft spot for the shy ones, Adrian might just be your perfect match! ❤️

Mae is crate trained and does very well in her crate, especially when she has a bully stick to keep her occupied! She also walks nicely on a leash and shows absolutely no reactivity toward other dogs or people she passes. She does get a little excited and pull on occasion, but she's working on her leash manners!

Her potty training is still a work in progress. She's excellent about holding it while in her crate and prefers to do her business outside on walks. However, she does need to be taken outside promptly after coming out of her crate to avoid accidents. With a consistent routine, we think she'll continue making great progress!

Because Mae still has plenty of puppy energy and curiosity, she does best when crated during times when she can't be actively supervised. Fortunately, she's quite content in her crate as long as she has something tasty to chew on!

Mae is wonderful with other dogs, but cats are a bit of a different story. While she can coexist with them, she does occasionally give chase. For this reason, we wouldn't recommend her for a home with cats unless they're exceptionally confident and completely unfazed by dogs.

Mae is already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all core vaccinations, so she's ready to find her forever home!

Mae is a sweet, playful little girl who has already come such a long way in a short time. With a little patience, consistency, and plenty of love, we think she'll make a wonderful companion for a family willing to help her continue learning and growing! ❤️

Moe is neutered, walks nicely on a leash, and happily does his business outside while on walks. He does have a tendency to mark indoors, so he currently wears a belly band while we continue working on getting him fully housetrained.

He gets along well with other dogs around his size and is pretty neutral when it comes to cats. Mostly, Moe just wants a cozy lap, plenty of affection, and a person he can follow around like a tiny four-legged shadow.

Moe is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of his core vaccines. Now all he needs is a family to call his own!

Dot is about 10 lbs, although she’s a little on the fluffy side and could probably stand to lose a pound or two. Luckily, she loves going for walks and does fantastic on leash! In fact, she may be the first non-leash-reactive Chihuahua we’ve ever met. She happily strolls along and ignores dogs passing by.

Dot is pad trained and mostly house trained, though she could use a little more guidance with the latter. She does great with dogs around her own size, although, in true Chihuahua fashion, she can get a little jealous when it comes to sharing her favorite person. She’s also neutral around cats.

If you’re looking for a tiny, low-key companion who takes her lap-warming duties very seriously, Dot might just be your girl.

While Paisley isn't a fan of being picked up or visiting the veterinarian, she's more than happy to hop right into the car for an adventure. And when she's in the mood for cuddles, she'll gladly climb into your lap for some well-earned pets and love.

Paisley weighs about 25 pounds, is spayed, and is up to date on all of her core vaccinations. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who still has plenty of life and love to share, Paisley just might be your perfect match.

Mason is looking for a patient family that will let him settle in at his own pace. Once he knows you're a friend, he'll reward you with plenty of snuggles, laughs, and his wonderfully goofy personality. If you're looking for a little dog with a big heart, Mason might just be your perfect match! ❤️

This sweet girl is potty trained, crate trained, and settles quietly in her crate like a pro. She walks nicely on a leash, though she does have a tendency to pull a bit (we’re working on that!). While she hasn’t been kid-tested, she’s so gentle, friendly, and submissive with people that we think she’d likely do very well with children.

Nala isn’t a chewer or destructive in the home, making her an easy houseguest and an even better family member.

Now for her one quirky flaw: she HATES cars. Riding in them? Nope. Watching them drive by on walks? Also nope. And 18-wheelers? Her sworn enemies. Why? Maybe she’s a passionate environmentalist. Maybe she once had a dramatic showdown with a rogue trucker worthy of a Stephen King novel. We’ll probably never know, but she would be a great companion for anyone with a bus pass!

Nala is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and scheduled to be spayed this month.

Because Nala is a bit larger than the dogs we typically rescue, her adoption fee has been:

FULLY SPONSORED

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion with a big heart and a little bit of comedic flair, Nala might be your perfect match.

Although the shelter labeled her as a “Chihuahua mix,” we think Pippa may actually be more of a houndy little mutt medley. Whatever her breed mix may be, she is absolutely adorable.

Pippa is almost fully potty trained, though she still has the occasional accident as she adjusts to home life. She is also learning how to walk on leash and is very food motivated, which should make training a breeze. At the end of the day, Pippa’s favorite place to be is curled up beside her foster mom and dad on the couch or snoozing at the foot of the bed.

Pippa is up to date on vaccines and preventatives and will be spayed before adoption.

If you’re looking for a gentle, cuddly pup who just needs a little love and patience to shine, Pippa may be your perfect match!

Fideo is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, and ready to find a calm, loving home where he can truly blossom. Watching a timid dog learn to feel safe is one of the most rewarding experiences, and Fideo is absolutely worth it.

She respects his boundaries during play and is generally quiet around the house. Once she’s sniffed her way around the yard, she’s happy to settle by the window and keep tabs on the neighborhood.Like any hound with a nose for adventure, Lyla is still working on loose-leash walking and basic commands. An interesting scent can get her full attention in a hurry! She’s also figured out that kitchen counters sometimes hold snacks, so her family will want to keep food out of reach.After a little adventure, Lyla is all about the cozy life. A few treats help her settle into her crate, where she rests peacefully for naps and overnight. Give her a soft blanket and a spot on the couch, and you might find all 45 pounds of her curled into the tiniest little ball. Lyla is housebroken, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and vet care. She reportedly did well when tested with cats and children.Lyla will be available for adoption on or after November 8. If your home has room for a curious nose and a big heart, we’d love for you to meet her!Apply www.pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adoptPaws Across Pittsburgh · Springdale, PA 15144 · KL #16182

Even a trip to the vet doesn’t rattle him. His vets gave him a 1 on their fear, anxiety and stress score and described him as very sweet and cooperative. He’s stayed in another home while his foster was on vacation and got along great with the other dogs there. He’s been to bingo night, softball games, the park, and the vet, and he’s done great in all situations. His a fairly good car passenger too, although he does want to see the world through windows.Kashi has the basics down, too. He’s housebroken, knows his name and comes when called. He’s a willing walking partner in his harness. He’s working on crate training. A treat will lead him right into his crate, and he’ll settle quickly. He does have a little separation anxiety at first, so letting him settle for the night or placing the crate where he can see the owner might help him get over some anxiety. However, his foster has left him outside of the crate during the day, and he hasn’t chewed on anything as long as food isn’t within reach.Kashi has a congenital hip condition, which gives his walk a style all its own: a skip here, a bunny hop there, and sometimes a leg held up while he stands still. None of it slows him down. And if he ever does need a surgery called a femoral head ostectomy (FHO), Paws will cover it at the hospital that diagnosed him.His skin has improved a lot as well. He arrived with skin issues from fleas, but the fleas have been treated, his skin is healing very well and his coat is growing back. He’ll stay on a steroid and an anti-fungal a little longer to keep that recovery going.Kashi is neutered, microchipped and current on rabies, distemper and bordetella. He tested negative for Lyme and heartworm and takes Heartgard and Credelio for parasite prevention. He’ll come packed with his bed, toys, leash, collar, and harness. All he needs now is a family to throw the next squeaky toy.

He would be perfectly happy sharing his home with other four-legged friends, but he'd also love being the center of attention in a home where he can soak up all the love for himself.Whether you're looking for a buddy for your current pets or a loyal companion to call your own, Oscar could be just the guy you've been waiting for!He's got the personality, the manners, and the love to make an amazing addition to just about any family. Now all he needs is someone to give him his happily ever after. Available for adoption November 7. Current with vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.

He's shown some mild interest in playing with his housemates, but people are much more his thing. He's also curious about the resident cat but hasn't been overly focused on her or attempted to chase her. Housebreaking and crate training are both relatively new to Grumpy, and we're making progress! Being alone is still a challenge for him, so he'll need someone who understands that these things take time and is willing to continue helping him learn.Grumpy would really appreciate a home where he can spend plenty of time with his people, enjoy some outdoor adventures, learn a few more tricks, and have a comfortable place to curl up at the end of the day. He's a funny, affectionate little dog with a ton of personality and is looking for his next adventure!Grumpy will be available for adoption beginning November 1st through Paws Across Pittsburgh (Springdale, PA 15144, KL#16182). Applications are being accepted now!

We do all love being outside but certainly appreciate the beds, couches, covers, meals and treats we have become accustomed to too. But mostly we love our people!Favorite hobbies include walking, playing with plush toys, people and dog watching and relaxing. I love to play and often entertain myself by throwing my toys and zooming to get them. I like to make a game of taking a sock or slipper here and there, but I don’t destroy them. I am very interested in human food and will jump on the counter to make sure you didn’t forget anything but I promise I won’t jump on you. Other than that, for such a young pup I am calm, cool, and collected. Unlike other dogs my age I know what personal space is. I will let you cuddle me but won’t nag you for cuddles. I take treats so gently. I don’t know many commands or tricks yet, but I am such a good girl. A little training will go a long way. I don’t bolt out of the door or steps, I’m patient and know how to wait, and I’m getting better at drop it and leave it. I am amazing on a leash (if I do say so) ...just to name a few of my best qualities :)Things that need work: I’m friendly, but reserved when meeting new people (especially children). Everything is very new to me. The shelter I was rescued from said I don’t like cats, but my foster mom says I just look at them and don’t seem to want to chase. I’m interested in birds but haven’t explored chasing them.Things I’ve (mostly) perfected: I am house trained and crate trained. I’m very friendly, but need a moment to warm up with most people, and my foster mom has labeled me as a wonderful companion. If you are interested in having an all-around good girl, a sweet dog to adventure with, hug, play and walk with, apply for me today!Available through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Sprindgale, PA KL #16182

He will happily sit on or near you and soak up love.ANXIOUS - Dude is an anxious guy and needs a home that isn't loud or chaotic. He does fine meeting kids in public, but kiddos are a hard pass for day-to-day life.AGILE - True to the Jack Russell, he loves to parkour around his yard and family room. He thinks it would be cool if you put some agility equipment in your yard but just for fun - he is not interested in competition!Must Haves:QUALITY TIME - Ace is happiest when he's surrounded by his people and considers himself a professional lap dog. He will do best with a family that is home more often than not.RESIDENT DOG BUDDY - He requires another dog(s) in the home that is under 40lb. He is used to being with other dogs, and a home without another dog exacerbates his anxiety.EXPERIENCED DOG OWNER - We want someone who has solid dog experience. This cannot be your first rodeo, and it would be helpful if you have had experience with separation anxiety.NO KIDS - Young kids can make him nervous. We are seeking an adult-only home or one with teenage "kids" that will be less erratic in their movements.Ace is making progress with his potty training. He knows to go potty outside but is still marking indoors. That being said, he'll need a family committed to helping him build consistency and willing to use belly bands. With a regular routine and positive reinforcement, he'll continue to improve.Ace will make you earn his trust, but once you're in then you're his BFF. If you're looking for a loving, affectionate boy who will happily be by your side then apply for Ace today.Ace is neutered, up to date on core vaccinations, microchipped, and 4dx tested (negative for heartworm and lyme). He is available for adoption now at pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt. KL 16182

When it’s time to slow down, you can often find him stretched out in a sunny spot, enjoying a little sunshine and relaxation. Zipper has several great skills already under his belt. He’s housetrained and will let you know when he needs to head outside. He’s also learning to feel comfortable in his crate, goes in readily when there’s a treat waiting for him, and does well sleeping there overnight. He’s generally a quiet companion, though he’ll speak up to let you know when someone is at the door. Zipper is not currently fostered with any canine companions, but has been shown to do well with other dogs in the past, and should do well with proper introductions. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who will happily trade cuddles, kisses, and tennis-ball fun for a place in your heart and home, Zipper may be just the guy you’ve been waiting for. He is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and ready to find his forever family.
