my neighbor had just sealed his driveway and my dog ran thru it. She is a jack russell terrier
You can go to almost any store and pick up "Goo-gone" or another product like it. Its great for removing labels, gum, and all matter of sticky stuff. Best of all, it is all natural (made from orange oil). I used it in my husbands hair after he had electrodes stuck on his scalp, and used it too many times to count on the terrier to remove pine tar from her fur. Good luck

Try using vasilene or peanut butter. I read an article on line that said both work well.

Try rubbing some oil into it, letting it sit for half an hour or so, then brush it out, and give her a bath. If that doesn't work, take her to a groomer and have the sealer clipped off, even if she is a smooth coat, this can be done. If the oil doesn't work, and you don't want to have it shaved off, eventually it will wear off of her. Yuck, what a mess! I feel for both of you!

There's a few ideas that will work, but they are messy. And I'm sure i'll get some thumbs downs for this, but I know what works.
First idea: try using Skin-So-Soft or Baby oil to get out the tar. Then use a degreaser shampoo to get out the baby oil
2nd: There's a product in the paint dept of Wal-Mart called "Oops" It's designed to take products like tar out of areas where you don't want them. Obviously, after removing the tar, wash the dog thoroughly to remove the product.
3rd: This one works the best. WD-40. It's messy, but it gets the tar out and quickly. Once again, wash with a degreaser and regular shampoo after the tar is out to remove the product from the coat. I have many groomer friends who have tried this method and succeeded and never had a dog have an irritation to the WD-40. Just make sure that you don't get it in around the eyes.

If it is sticky dust it with talcum powder and leave it it will fall away with shed fur in its own good time
But as to the paws it needs fetching off call or nip into your vets and ask the receptionist or nurse for a bit of quick advice on what to use. turps would almost certainly do it, but I don't know of any side effects
