$20 ADOPTION FEES: ALL ADULT DOGS AND CATS FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST!
It's me, MARIO! I'm still just a puppy at about 8 months old & 40 pounds. I have 2 speeds like most puppies do ... PLAY PLAY PLAY & cuddle me please. I LOVE to play! I'm content entertaining myself with my toys, but my favorite is tug of war with my hoomans. I win every time, unless they distract me with a treat. I'm learning how to fetch and getting really good. I'm also very athletic and can catch my toys mid-air. I'm also learning how to walk on a leash and my hoomans tell me I'm a good boy, I just like to stop & smell the roses from time to time. After all that activity, I'm ready for a good cuddle session. I like to be close to you and show you I love you by resting my head on your lap. I'm also house trained and crate trained. I LOVE all people and I'm great with kids. I would prefer to be an only pup, but if you have other doggies, my hoomans would be happy to set up a meet & greet. (No kitties please.) I'm a really good boy and looking for an active family to be my one and only. Please take me home with you! Please apply today. Adoption fee: $20. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance, one session with a certified behavior trainer and microchip.

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.
