Hello! My name is Iron Lady. I'm an adorable, 5-month-old, spayed female puppy in need of a lifelong, loving home. I weigh about 20 lbs right now. I did sooo well on my temperament test with Buzzwell and Chiquita! I'm great with other dogs. I'm young, energetic and very sweet! Keep in mind that I'm a puppy, so I'll need training. I bark at cats, but again, I just need training. I only know what people teach me and I want to know all the great things that every dog should know. I'm smart and I work hard to please people. Please give me a chance. You'll be so glad you did. I'm spayed, microchipped and current on my vaccines. I tested negative for heartworm too. I'm ready to go! Which lucky home will end up with me?

Adoption and Foster Care Application
NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
