IN NEED OF FOSTER CARE.
Handsome Hanson here! I am a young, curious, energetic and cuddly boy. I can be shy at first with new people, but I warm up quickly and love giving hugs and sitting in laps. I know my name and I sit very patiently for my food during meal time. I LOVE peanut butter and I am very food motivated, so it will be fun to teach me new tricks. I have lots of energy and I love prancing around the yard like a dressage horse, but also I love sacking out with you on the couch. I would make a great walking or jogging partner, followed by let's snooze on the couch time. I will play tug of war and fetch, though I haven't worked out bringing the ball back yet. I have lived with other dogs in my foster care home and we get along well, so long as the other dog is very tolerant of my antics. For example, I like to sit on other dogs. They are great hammocks. Some dogs don't care for that and I don't understand why. Sometimes I don't read the signals that other dogs are sending me. That can be annoying, I am told. Yet, I cannot help myself. But I am a silly boy bursting with personality. I just need to find a human or two who understands me and will show me patience and love. Apply today! Adoption fee: $80. Adopt a pair: $120. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 30 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.
