My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! My name is Buddy! I'm a loverboy. I am friendly, extremely sweet and very affectionate. I love everyone! I am good with kids, cats and other dogs. I love companionship. I am about 3 years old and already neutered. I am 100% housetrained and very smart. I'm eager to please and I'm a quick learner too. I know sit, lie down and get out of the kitchen. I know to sit and wait for my food until someone says, "OK." I also know to sit and wait at the door until someone walks through it and says, "OK," then I know to follow them through the door. I walk pretty well on leash with people. If there's another dog walking with us, I want to lead the way. I'm silly, funny and playful. I ride well in the car and just want to find someone to love for life. I am crate trained and need to be crated when no one is home. If a young, loving and kind dog is the right pet for you, please apply today. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, neuter, 30 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

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.

Examples:

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.
