Our Residents

Meet Misty

9 Years Old | Silver Labrador Retriever

Please help us welcome beautiful Misty to the Healing Paws of Love Sanctuary family!

At 9 years old, Misty came to us through no fault of her own. Her family was facing the heartbreaking loss of their home and had to make the incredibly difficult decision to surrender her so she could continue to be safe, loved, and cared for.

From the moment we met her, we knew Misty was something special. She is the definition of a happy-go-lucky girl—sweet, loving, and always ready to greet you with that beautiful smile and wagging tail.

Misty is currently very overweight, so one of our biggest goals will be helping her safely return to a healthier weight. With proper nutrition, gentle exercise, veterinary care, and plenty of encouragement, we’ll be right beside her every step of the way. We can’t wait to watch her become healthier, stronger, and even happier.

For senior dogs like Misty, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn. That’s why Healing Paws of Love exists—to make sure their next chapter is filled with comfort, dignity, safety, and unconditional love.

Welcome home, Miss Misty.

Daisy is a sweet 12-year-old senior beagle who came to the Sanctuary after being surrendered to a local veterinary office.

When her owner could no longer afford the care she needed, the heartbreaking possibility of euthanasia was being considered. Thankfully, Daisy was given another chance, and we were blessed to welcome her into the Healing Paws family.

When Daisy arrived, she was significantly overweight and suffering from several painful skin issues and hot spots. She is now receiving the care, treatment, proper nutrition, exercise, and most importantly, the love she deserves.

Despite everything she has been through, Daisy is one of the sweetest and most gentle girls. She quickly settled in and was welcomed by the other sanctuary dogs with open hearts and paws.

Daisy’s previous name was Lady, but we felt that her new beginning deserved a new name. Daisy felt like the perfect fit—a beautiful name for a beautiful girl beginning a brand-new chapter.

At Healing Paws of Love Sanctuary, Daisy will never have to worry about what tomorrow holds. She will spend her senior years surrounded by comfort, companionship, and unconditional love.

Welcome home, sweet Daisy. Your best life is just beginning.

Zeek is estimated to be about 8 years old and is a Rottweiler mix—possibly mixed with hound. He came to us from Texas and was just minutes away from being euthanized before he was thankfully pulled and given a second chance.

Zeek is one of our tougher dogs, but underneath it all, he is full of love. We believe he may have experienced trauma involving loud noises, as his entire demeanor changes when he hears things like vacuums or weed whackers. It’s heartbreaking to see, but it also reminds us just how much he has been through.

Zeek was once considered for adoption, but as he settled in, we realized he would thrive best as a permanent resident of the sanctuary. And today, he is living a beautiful life—sleeping on couches, soaking up belly rubs, and finally learning what it means to feel safe.

At night, he snores peacefully, a quiet reminder that he can finally relax.

Zeek’s best friend at the sanctuary is Noelle, and the two of them love to play together. Their bond is so special and a joy to watch.

Zeek’s journey is a reminder that healing looks different for every dog—and sometimes, love means giving them a forever home right where they are.

Gracie’s journey began in Nashville, Tennessee, where she was used for breeding for many years — possibly her entire life. When she was no longer useful to her owners, she was discarded and left to fend for herself. When she was found, she was severely underweight, dehydrated, and had a tumor on her mammary gland the size of a grapefruit. She had been left to die.

A rescue in Nashville took her in and gave her the care and compassion she had never known, nursing her back to health as best they could. When we saw Gracie’s photos, we knew we couldn’t say no. Soon after, she made her journey to Pennsylvania and into our lives.

When Gracie first arrived, she was scared and shut down. But with patience, love, and safety, she slowly began to blossom into the beautiful dog she was always meant to be. Today, she knows what love feels like. She knows she is safe. She knows she is home.

Gracie is the heart and soul behind Healing Paws of Love. Her gentle spirit, loving eyes, and unbreakable resilience inspired the very mission this sanctuary was built upon.

She isn’t just a rescue dog — she’s the reason this rescue exists. Every life we save, every dog we heal, and every family we help is part of Gracie’s legacy of love.

Noel came to us all the way from Mississippi and is the youngest girl in our sanctuary family. While her exact age isn’t certain, she’s estimated to be somewhere between 3 and 6 years old. When Noel first arrived, she was scared, shut down, and unsure of everything around her. She didn’t know how to walk on a leash, how to play, or even how to simply be a dog. She had lived such a guarded life that she didn’t understand love — and she certainly didn’t trust it.

She was underweight, her coat was rough and brittle, and her spirit was hidden behind fear. But with patience, safety, and gentle care, Noel slowly began to change.

Today, Noel is truly living her best life. She’s fluffy, healthy, over 100 pounds, and full of personality. Most importantly, she now knows what love feels like — and she gives it right back.

Noel is incredibly special. She has a gift for helping foster dogs who arrive scared and unsure, showing them how to trust, play, and just be dogs. There is something especially beautiful about watching shut-down dogs come back to life, and Noel is living proof of just how powerful love, patience, and kindness can be.
