Hi! My name is MoMo. I am a young dog, roughly 2-3 years old. I was a family dog. I lived with several other dogs and then one day our owners moved and left us sitting on the porch. I waited for 5 days for them to come back for me, but they never did. Some nice neighbors brought me to Animal Control where I hoped to find a new family. Even after all of that, I am still a happy dog. I have a great big, contagious smile and an upbeat personality. I am housetrained, friendly, healthy and affectionate. I just love everyone! Animal Control says that I am "one special girl." I LOVE everyone. I am a quiet dog. I don't bark unless I have something important to say. I am a snuggler. I like to sit next to you and lean into your chest. I ride well in the car, but prefer to be lifted into the vehicle. I'm a smart gal too. I know sit and lay down. I enjoy playing fetch. I will retrieve, drop it at your feet and sit to wait until you throw it again. I am well mannered and loving. I am spayed, heartworm negative and up-to-date on vaccines. Please give me a chance to become your newest family member! I promise to love you for life. Adoption fee: $75.

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.
