Meet Paddy Cake, an adorable Pittie mix

Paddy Cake is a bundle of love and curiosity!

She is a Pittie mix, who has had a tough beginning to her life.

Paddy Cake was abandoned in an empty apartment and rescued by Humane Law Enforcement. She was then adopted but later surrendered because her owner was facing homelessness.

The Humane Rescue Alliance is seeing an increase in cases like Paddy’s, and her circumstances reflect the challenges families face during the housing crisis.

She has a lot of love to give and is so friendly to her human and dog friends — both big and small — but only after she’s done exploring! After a walk, when her harness is off, the first thing she does is give everyone a big hug!

Her favorite thing is to hold one of her many toy balls in her mouth, and the second she does, she’ll melt right into your lap!

Paddy Cake has had a lot of transition and upheaval in her life (she’s only three-and-a-half years old) and would love to find a great family and some stability.

Meet Charlie Bones, a handsome, head-turning pup

Only 5 years old, Charlie Bones has already spent far too much of his life waiting. He came to us after three years in a Texas shelter, and D.C. is his second — and very hopeful — chance at finding a loving family. The good news? He has an entire team of people rooting for him. No bones about it: Charlie Bones is a handsome, head-turning pup with a sweet soul to match. He’s smart, eager to learn, and ready to grow with his person. If we had to sum him up in three words, they’d be polite, cuddly and treat-motivated.
