Hi everyone! My name is Chloe. I was adopted as a puppy and to no fault of my own, was abandoned after 6 years of living with one family. This sudden abandonment has caused me to have some separation anxiety. I need a home where I will always have people around me and I won't be left alone. My new foster family thinks I'm great! They say I am sweet as can be - I don't have a mean bone in my body. I'm a smart girl who knows basic commands. I walk exceptionally well on a leash (in fact, my foster mom says I'm a delight to walk with). I love the car and going for car rides. I live with cats and have never ever chased them - not even one time! Do you have cats? Not a problem with me! I also do well with other dogs but sometimes I need a slow introduction. I was raised with young children and just think they're the best. I am very mellow and have a mild temperament. My only flaw is that I love my humans too much and I need someone who understands that this separation anxiety can be worked on with patience and dedicated training - I am worth it! If you are retired, work from home or could send me to day care when no one is able to stay with me, then you are the family for me. I just need to build my confidence to know that I am okay alone and that my humans are coming back - the Rescue works with some pretty awesome trainers who know my story and here to help. I'm so loved and deserve only the best! I am a spayed female, 7-year-old, yellow lab mix who is happy and healthy. I weigh about 55 lbs. I am fully medically tested, dewormed, up to date on vaccines and spayed. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 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.

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.
