She is fine with the other dog in the house, not a lot of interaction but that may come. Would be fine as a one an only. It appears separation anxiety will be an issue and
needs
work on leash skills
but I’m confident that will come!
Hot Coco is staying with Lisa in Latrobe, PA.

4. Adrian
Meet Adrian! ❤️
Adrian is a sweet, sensitive little guy who is still learning that the world isn't such a scary place! He's naturally shy and cautious, especially in unfamiliar situations or around new people, but underneath that timid exterior is an incredibly loving and affectionate pup.
Adrian may need a little extra time to warm up, but once he starts to feel safe, his cuddly side really shines! He loves being close to the people he trusts and is happiest when he can curl up beside someone for a little reassurance and affection.
Read more about Adrian
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! ❤️

5. Mae
Meet Mae!
Mae is an adorable 1–2-year-old, 18 lb terrier mix with a sweet personality and plenty of puppy energy! She's fully grown at 18 lbs, but she's still very much a puppy at heart.
Mae can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she's made tremendous progress in a very short time! She's a gentle, submissive girl who gets along wonderfully with other dogs of all sizes. She's also great with older, respectful children.
Read more about Mae
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! ❤️

6. Moe
Meet Moe!
This handsome little guy is about 2–3 years old, and is basically 11 lbs of pure cuddles!
Moe is a very typical Chihuahua in the best possible way: he is an absolute cuddle bug who wants to be attached to his person at all times. He can be abit shy and standoffish at first, but once he warms up he is a complete velcro pup!
What’s a little unusual about Moe is that he seems to have a soft spot for the guys! Don’t worry, he’s no he-man woman hater. He loves the ladies too! But if there’s a dad in the house looking for a tiny best friend, Moe would strongly appreciate his application.
Read more about Moe
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!

7. Dot
Meet Dot!
Calling all Chihuahua lovers! This sweet senior girl is the quintessential Chi: slightly spicy, mostly sweet, and a total cuddle bug. ️❤️
Dot is the ultimate lap dog. She’s a laid-back little lady whose favorite pastime is napping, preferably on top of her person. Work from home? Perfect! Dot would be more than happy to keep your lap warm for the entire workday.
Read more about Dot
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.
Senior Chihuahua
⚖️ About 10 lbs
Dog friendly with similar-sized dogs

Great on leash

8. Paisley
Meet Paisley!
Paisley is a sweet senior girl who, through no fault of her own, found herself back at the very same shelter she was adopted from as a puppy 13 years ago. Now she's looking for a loving family to give her the happy ending she deserves.
Paisley is an affectionate, easygoing companion who loves attention, leisurely walks, and car rides. She has excellent house manners and is completely potty trained. In her foster home, she's been doing wonderfully and enjoys chewing on her Nylabone, soaking up affection, and relaxing with her people.
Read more about Paisley
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.

10. Nala
Looking for a home for Nala!
Nala is an approximately 5-year-old, 26-pound mixed-breed girl (possibly with some Rat Terrier or Miniature Pinscher mixed in). She’s the perfect medium-energy companion: friendly, outgoing, and absolutely loves every person she meets!
Nala gets along wonderfully with dogs her size or smaller. She can be a little defensive around larger dogs with rambunctious or dominant play styles, so she’d do best with calmer large dogs. She’s also cat-neutral, mostly ignoring them.
Read more about Nala
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.

11. Pippa
Meet Pippa!
Pippa is a young girl who found herself on the run and landed in a bit of trouble before making her way to rescue. While her past may be a mystery, one thing is certain: this sweet pup is ready for a fresh start and a family to call her own.
Pippa can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once she warms up, she blossoms into a playful, affectionate little companion. She loves other dogs and gets along wonderfully with pups of all sizes, from tiny 7 lb Chihuahuas to big 70 lb Dobermans!
Read more about Pippa
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!
12. Fideo
Meet Fideo! This handsome little guy is about 20 pounds of sweetness wrapped up in a shy exterior. Fideo can be a bit nervous when meeting new people or experiencing new situations, but underneath it all he is an incredibly gentle, loving boy who just wants to feel safe and cared for.
Once he starts to trust you, Fideo’s soft and affectionate personality begins to shine. He would do best with a patient family willing to give him the time and reassurance he needs to settle in and build confidence at his own pace.
Read more about Fideo
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.
13. Lyla
There’s a little extra love in the air this fall, and her name is Lyla! This 45-pound coonhound mix is about 3 years old and has been waiting for a home since April. She was found as a stray in West Virginia, and now that she’s settling into foster life in Pittsburgh, we’re hoping her forever family is close by.Lyla is sweet, affectionate, and always up for a good sniff. She loves giving kisses, getting her ears rubbed, and hanging out with her people. She’ll happily try any treat you offer, takes it gently from your hand, and likes to keep a few favorite bones in her chewing rotation.She gets along beautifully with her 2-year-old foster brother and lets out a bark when she’s ready for him to join her for a romp.
Read more about Lyla
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

16. Kakashi
Toss a squeaky toy and watch Kashi light up. He’ll chase it down, carry it back with pride and ask for one more throw. This young Shiba Inu, about 2 to 3 years old, is 23 pounds of sweetness with a devotion to treats and a nose that has already discovered the joys of a snuffle mat. His growth in one month, from a pup with skin sores from a flea infection, to lovable, happy pup has been so great to see.When the toys are put away, Kashi becomes a champion napper. He rolls up in his bed, claims a spot on the couch and gladly shares a cuddle. He has a gift for winning people over. He has taken a shine to his foster mom, and he’s quick to flop onto his back for his foster dad.
Read more about Kakashi
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.

Meet Grumpy!Grumpy is an approximately 2-year-old, 15-pound, neutered male Dachshund/Boston Terrier mix with dapple and brindle markings, adorable tiny legs, a stubby tail, and a darned impressive underbite! He's kind of like a patchwork dog made of many different parts, and if you're looking for a unique and transportable best friend, you're in luck! Despite his name, Grumpy is a super affectionate little guy who truly enjoys being with people. He loves a warm lap, lounging in the sunshine (his favorite!), running around the yard, and taking his time sniffing everything along the way.He's also a smart little dog who enjoys learning new things! We're currently working on riding a skateboard, spinning, and "say please." He's been a pretty enthusiastic learner in our little training sessions! Grumpy is starting to show some interest in toys and is just beginning to figure out what play is all about.He currently lives in a foster home with other dogs and is dog tolerant, although he definitely has his preferences.
Read more about Grumpy
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!

19. Zara
Looking for a big, dainty, princess of a puppy? If so, stop scrolling and let me tell you a little bit about myself...My name is Zara, and I am a 10-month-old blue-eyed beautiful girl weighing in at around 55 lbs. (and likely to continue to grow a bit). As you can see, I am extremely cute and cuddly with silky soft and fluffy fur. You would be surprised how little I shed (for now, anyway.) I am told I am a husky mix. I look much more like a husky than my brothers did, but I surely don't act much like a husky. I don’t howl, dig, or try to escape. I am, however, a picky eater -- not just with food, but you also better feed me using my favorite bowl and I will only eat when I feel like it!Along with my two brothers, I was rescued from the streets of West Virginia.
Read more about Zara
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

20. Ace
(Re)introducing Ace Ace is a ~2 year old, 17lb Boston Terrier/Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix who finds himself back on the market in search of a forever home. Ace was adopted this summer, but everyone realized it just wasn't the best fit for our guy. His adopters wanted the best for him and brought him back to us so that we can find him his match.Between fostering him and his adoption experience, we have a stronger understanding about what Ace needs to succeed.Ace can be described using a few "A" adjectives.ADORABLE - Duh, see his pictures for yourself. His soulful eyes, adorable face, and wagging tail - how can you not stop to stare at his cuteness?!AFFECTIONATE - If you are looking for a lap dog or snoozing buddy, Ace is your guy.
Read more about Ace
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

Adopting a dog in Leith-Hatfield
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
