PALS with Pawz's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Sometimes a dog that we train does not make it in the service dog world.

Sometimes they have a fear of being in public, or maybe they have a medical condition that is not suitable for service work. And sometimes, they just want a career change so they can be your pet. When this happens, we put the dog on our website for adoption.

All PALS with Pawz released dogs are placed in homes. It is understood that said dog will live out its natural life as the companion of the buyer. If at any time the buyer can no longer keep said dog, P.A.L. with Pawz retains first right of refusal, meaning the dog is returned to us, not sold or given away to any other parties.

We are not getting “rid” of these dogs. They are valuable members of our organization. They have had an incredible amount of time and energy put into them up to this point. We have set our standards so high that not all dogs in training turn into working assistance dogs. We offer these released dogs a chance at being someone’s special companion, a life-long friend, and a loving pet.

Training, socialization, house manners and house breaking are very valuable commodities. The cost for adoption is between $150 and $300

Although it may seem like a great deal of money to spend on a dog, consider this:


If you buy a puppy: Price anywhere from $50.00 - $4,000.00
Series of Vaccinations needed
Spay or Neuter
Basic Obedience Training
Health Clearances
Any other vet bills

When you get a released dog from us we have done all that for you, the training, housebreaking, socialization, the shots, the spay or neuter, and many times health clearances. The price still does not reflect all our time and effort.

Please contact us if you are interested in adopting any of our released dogs

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in South Pittsburg, TN.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
