Aslan - 🇳🇴
"From foster to adoption!
The plan was to foster Aslan and help him find his forever home, but from the moment we met, there was something special about him. He is the perfect study mate, and walking buddy and is full of love.
The adoption process was easy and I appreciate every help I got from the Pawsrescue team.
It’s amazing to see how fast a street dog can be part of a family! If you consider fostering or adoption, do it! You help dogs, and maybe they will help you as well🥰"
Ella - 🇸🇰
"We adopted Lille My on 1.11. 2024 🫶 we named her Ella.
Ella was a very good friend with our female dog Dorotka right away and she is still like that today (16.5.2025), thanks to Ella our Dorotka got the urge to play and has a great friend.
they both go everywhere with us, to the farm to the horses, for walks and several day trips.
They make us and our daughter who is only a year old happy but they always know how to play nicely.
we recently moved to a house with a big garden and our dog girls are outside all day long, playing together, chasing birds and sunbathing in the sun. Ella has a great life full of love and adventures thanks to Paws rescue KE🫶"
Blue - 🇳🇴
"Blue came to me in march 2024, after I got contacted by one of the Vets at school for help. She was on the edge of being throwed out on the street of her current place, because she lacked a guard instinct.
When I took her in she was terrified of everything and I mean everything!
We took everything according to her pace and slowly bit by bit she started becoming more safe. I had to learn her how to play, be mischievous and basically how to be a dog. Slowly I saw new traits of her personality every single day!
She is the best dog I could have ever asked for, she just needed a safe home filled with love, kisses and treats.
Now she absolutely adores kids, her ball, sticks, going skiing and swimming🫶🏼 she is everything we could have wished for, and she holds the biggest piece of our hearts"

Iris - 🇳🇴
"Iris' Adoption Story
Iris is a black German Shepherd who came into my life in January 2025; though she had already captured my heart a month earlier. I came across her adoption ad in December and was determined not to bring a dog home. But I couldn’t stop thinking about her.
After spending some time with her, it became clear that she belonged with me. When Iris finally moved in, she carried a lot of emotional baggage. Our walks were tough, she reacted strongly to both people and other dogs, and every outing took extra patience and care. But as the months went by and we got to know each other, the challenges slowly eased.
Iris is incredibly curious. One of her favorite pastimes was watching the tram pass by every day, it became her personal entertainment. Alongside basic commands like “sit” and “stay,” Iris had to learn that the brush wasn’t something to fear, and that affection could actually feel good.
In May, Iris moved to Norway, where the tram was replaced by the sights of cows, deer, and hedgehogs. She still has her challenges, and we work on them every day, but she’s settled in beautifully in her new surroundings, with a family who loves her just as she is.
We look forward to many wonderful years and shared adventures with Iris, and we cherish the chance to explore the world through her eyes."
