Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Mona is the kind of dog you don't come across every day. She has a naturally gentle spirit and an easy, calming presence that makes being around her feel effortless. As her foster puts it, "She is the sweetest soul. So gentle and loving!" Mona is simply happy to be by your side-whether you're working, relaxing on the couch, or moving about your day, she's content just sharing the space with you.

She quickly won over PAWS staff with her calm, happy-go-lucky attitude and sweet demeanor. Mona is as smart as she is loving-she arrived already knowing some commands from her previous home and is eager to engage with her people. While she enjoys all toys, balls and a good game of fetch are her absolute favorites. She's currently living with another dog, and her foster often catches the two of them happily playing together on the pet camera - Check them out playing here: https://youtu.be/1jWz3szul4Q

If you're looking for a steady, affectionate companion who brings a peaceful, joyful energy wherever she goes, Mona may be the one you've been waiting for!

This dog is considered a mixed breed because it's not accurate to identify breed mix by sight alone, so for most dogs, their mix is only a guess. We get to know each dog as an individual and strive to make matches based on personality, not on breed label.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
