Stripe

Description

Foster or adopter urgently needed for Stripe!Stripe is as sweet as he is handsome, and that signature stripe is just the beginning of what makes him special. This 2-year-old boy has a gentle, loving nature and an easygoing personality that really shines when he’s spending one-on-one time with his people. He adores attention—leaning in for ear scratches, placing his paws in your lap, and soaking up all the hugs and snuggles you’re willing to give.He came to PAW from rural South Carolina, so the sights and sounds of a busy environment are still new to him. On walks, he likes to take things slow—sniffing, observing, and building confidence. He’s shown polite interest in other dogs and, while he can get a little excited at times, he responds well to gentle guidance.Stripe would likely do well in a variety of home environments, especially one that offers a calm, supportive space where he can continue to adjust and feel safe.Stripe has recently been diagnosed as heartworm positive, and he’ll need treatment that includes a few injections followed by periods of strict rest. This means he especially needs a committed foster or adopter who can provide a quiet place for him to recover. PAW will cover treatment and provide full support every step of the way.Despite this temporary setback, Stripe is a young dog with so much love to give and a bright future ahead. All he needs is a safe place to land while he heals—and someone willing to give him the chance he deserves.PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and northern PA region
