My story

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

Hi there! My name is Sally! I am a lover-girl! I am just 1 year old and I weigh 45 lbs. I love people and I am great with kids! I give great doggie kisses and hugs. I am more interested in people time than in play time. I do like to take walks and to run-run in the fenced yard. I'm a smarty pants who knows some commands. I even walk well on a loose leash. I have a curious nature. I like to check out new things and say hello to new people. I have a happy-go-lucky, upbeat personality. I do like to play with toys. My favorite is the Nylabone. When I'm not playing or working for treats, I'm looking for love, affection, TLC and lots of pets and belly rubs. I would really like a home where I'll be a best buddy, a treasured member of the family. It's all I want in life. Please give me a chance! You'll be so glad you did! Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance, one session with a certified behavior trainer 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.
