Lyric – Pup Of The Week
Woof Wednesday: Meet Lyric!
This sweet girl has already been through more than most puppies ever should—but you’d never know it from her spirit. Lyric is currently recovering from a broken leg, and she’s doing it with nothing but pure resilience and joy.
She’s happy, active, playful, and just the right amount of silly—Lyric brings light everywhere she goes! Her strength is inspiring, and her heart is even bigger than her puppy energy.
Lyric is looking for a loving home that will continue to support her recovery and shower her with the love she deserves. In return, she promises endless smiles, cuddles, and unconditional love.
If you’re ready to give this brave little girl her happily ever after, Lyric is ready to meet you. Please let us know if you are interested in scheduling a visit or learning more about her adoption process.

Hector – Pup Of The Week
Hector is almost 6 months old and already the kind of dog who stays with you forever.
He lives with diabetes insipidus and will need lifelong desmopressin eye drops — which he takes like a champ most days.
Hector is the ultimate snuggle bug. He gently hugs your arm, lounges with ALL his toys nearby, gives the sweetest nose boops… and firmly believes in the cheese tax 🧀 (he knows that bag sound).
More than his adorable quirks, Hector is gentle, intuitive, and deeply loving. When his human foster brother was sick, Hector never left his side.
He’s searching for a patient, compassionate home willing to meet his medical needs — and in return, he’ll give unmatched devotion and a once-in-a-lifetime bond 💙

Carmen came into our rescue alongside her sisters Coco and Cordelia. One by one, her sisters have found their forever families, and now Carmen is the last of the trio still waiting for her turn. She’s been cheering them on with tail wags and puppy kisses, patiently holding onto hope that her special person is just around the corner.
This little lady is ready to begin her own happily-ever-after, one filled with gentle guidance, playful moments, cozy naps, and a family to call her own. If you’re looking for a puppy who will grow with you and turn everyday moments into something magical, Carmen is waiting to meet you!

Casper Clyde – Pooch Of The Week
Casper Clyde came to us all the way from St. Thomas, USVI, where all mixed-breed dogs proudly earn the title “Coconut Retriever.” 🌴🥥
He was found as a stray — terrified of people, unsure of the world and the hands reaching toward him. But look at him now… this boy cannot get enough of us 😂💕
At just 7 months old, Casper Clyde is the perfect balance of playful puppy and snuggly love bug. He’s neutered, potty trained, and a compact 35 lbs of personality, sweetness, and charm.
From island stray to couch connoisseur.
From fear to full-on affection.

Norma Jean – Pup Of The Week
Woof Wednesday Spotlight: Norma Jean
The little lady everyone seems to walk past… except you.
Some dogs come to us with puppy breath and wiggles.
And then there are the quiet ones — the ones who have lived enough life to know what really matters.
-Meet Norma Jean.
A tiny 10-lb Yorkie mix with a silvered muzzle, wise eyes, and a heart that is somehow bigger than her little pocket-sized body. She’s been patiently waiting for a whole month… and not one single application has come in. Not one.
She doesn’t understand why.
She curls up in her bed, watches other dogs get chosen, and still greets us every morning with the softest tail wag — the kind that says, “Maybe today is my day.”
Norma Jean is estimated to be around 8 years old. She’ll need some dental TLC, just like any senior girl who’s earned her smile lines. But her spirit? Pure gold. She is gentle, endlessly cuddly, loves a good couch nap, and wants nothing more than to be someone’s little shadow.
She’s the kind of dog who will fit into your arms like she’s been there her whole life.
The kind of dog who will follow you from room to room, curl up beside you at bedtime, and look at you like you hung the moon.
The kind of dog who just wants to belong again.
✨ If you’ve been wishing for a soft, calm, loyal companion… Norma Jean is wishing for you too.
Please don’t let her spend another week waiting.
Give this sweet old lady the home she’s been dreaming of.
-Apply for Norma Jean at allpawsondeck.org
Must be 21+ to adopt.
If you can’t adopt, sharing helps her more than you know.

Zander – Pup Of The Week
Woof Wednesday: A Note from Zander
Hi… I’m Zander.
I was adopted as a tiny puppy — the kind people scoop up in a heartbeat. I thought I’d found my forever.
But two weeks later, everything changed. My family got some really sad news, and suddenly I was back in a crate, wondering what I did wrong.
Now I’m a little bigger, a little older… and people walk past me for the fluffier ones. They don’t know that I sing when my foster mom cooks. That I wiggle so hard my whole body smiles. That I love little kids and fall asleep holding hands.
I’m just waiting for the person who sees me — really sees me — and says, “Welcome home.”
Adopt me → allpawsondeck.org
Sofia – Pup Of The Week
Woof Wednesday: Sofia
Sweet Sofia has done her job as a mama — now it’s finally her turn to be loved. 💔
She came from a hoarding situation, raised her puppies with patience and grace, and watched every one of them find a home. All that’s left now is her happily ever after.
Sofia is a small mixed breed (about 25 lbs), around 5 years old, and looks like a mini lab-beagle mix. She’s all black, all heart, and completely ready to start fresh.
She may be small, but she’s full of quiet courage and love. After everything she’s been through, she deserves the softest bed, the kindest words, and a family who will never let her go.
💌 Adopt Sofia and show her that love always wins.

Jack – Pup Of The Week
He’s got the face of a pug, the curly tail of a pug… but somehow, he’s not a pug! 😂
We think he might be part mystery, part magic, and 100% good boy.
Jack is about 5 years old, 18 lbs, and potty trained—the perfect mix of charm and manners. He’s looking for a cozy spot (preferably a blanket pile like this one!) and a human to call his own.
Ready to meet him? Head to allpawsondeck.org to apply!

Roo | 6 lbs | Spayed | Fully grown
This tiny Chihuahua is all heart. She loves laps, gentle pets, and other pups just as sweet as she is.
Cosmo | 33 lbs | 2 years old TODAY 🎂 | Spayed

Puppies Of The Week
Woof Wednesday: Make Some Noise!
Meet Bam, Pow, Wham, Boom, Ping, Biff, Krunch, Vroom, and Zap — 9 siblings dropped off like a box of mismatched shoes. They’re mutts of mystery, a mashup of every dog ever, and absolutely perfect.
They aren’t purebred. They’re pure puppy.
They don’t come with fancy papers. But they come with:
- play sprints, nap crashes, and the unconditional love of a forever friend.
Their DNA test would probably say: “Yes.” Because they are a little bit of everything.
Only the grey one (hi Pow) is getting noticed so far. But the rest? They’re just as wiggly, kissy, loyal, and deserving. Don’t let their “everyday mutt” look fool you — these pups are once-in-a-lifetime dogs, just waiting for their person.
They’re 8 weeks old, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to make your world go BOOM.
