Hello! My name is Queen Guinevere (Gwen for short). A very fancy name for a goofy dog like me! I am a 1-year-old, floppy, sweet-as-can-be, boxer-mix pup. I love to romp and run in the yard, but only for a short time before I'm ready to cuddle. I LOVE humans. I love to melt into them and let them pet my soft fur - and trust me when I say soft, it's like velvet. Ear scratches and belly rubs are the way to my heart. I also love other dogs! I've been playing with my friends at doggy day care since I left the shelter. Wanna know what else I like? Cats. Some of my dog friends just don't understand, but cats are cool. I like doggie cookies and I take them very gently from your hands. Sometimes I even lick them off. If a gentle girl like me is the dog for you, apply today! My humans say I'm too sweet to not have a home, and I'd really love to come to yours. 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.

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.
