My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi everybody, I'M CHAMP 💙

Do you want to be my Valentine? 💙

When I first came into rescue a few weeks ago, I was very timid and shy. They called me flapjack because I pancaked on the floor a lot. 💙

I have definitely come out of my shell and am turning into the perfect mix of playful and affectionate! 💙

I am a border Collie mix and am approximately 6 months old. I currently weigh in at 32 pounds. 💙

I love playing with the doodle gang here in my foster home, so I know I would definitely love to have a playmate to help me burn off some of my puppy energy! 💙

I'm great with the cats and will sniff them (they smell funny) and just lay next to them. 💙

I'm basically Mr. Congeniality with everyone! 💙

I am crate trained and
have learned the doggy door pretty well, with just a few accidents inside still. I'm actually a pretty smart boy! Oh, and did I mention handsome...with these blue eyes and all? 💙

I am still a puppy, so I need guidance on all puppy matters....chewing, jumping up, play biting etc.
I also don't remember ever wearing a collar or being hooked to this thing they call a leash...and it's a little scary! I'm still learning to trust that process, but I'm getting the hang of it! 💙

I will steal your heart and be your best friend and a treasured part of your family if you adopt me! 💙

I am available for foster-to-adopt with my adoption being finalized after my vetting is complete.
I already started those poky things they call vaccines and microchips and started taking monthly heartworm prevention. My vetting will be completed by the end of the month after more poky things they call boosters and my neuter (I'm not sure I even want to know what that is)! 💙

If you're interested in me becoming a part your family, please submit an adoption application at www.pawsofadamscounty.com.
The ladies here say you must answer all questions completely and honestly to be considered being lucky enough to share your life with me! 💙

I can't wait to meet my forever family! 💙www.pawsofadamscounty.com

More about this rescue

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:  To better the lives of the homeless, abused, abandoned and neglected animals in our community, to the best of our ability and as resources permit, through fostering, vetting, socialization and adoption. To grow our TNR (trap, neuter, release) program for feral and community cats in order to help control the over-population problem. To help reunite lost or found animals with their families. To bring education and awareness to our community regarding responsible pet ownership, ways they can help protect these animals and things they can do to have a pro-active role in helping us carry out our mission.

​WHO WE ARE:  PAWS of Adams County, IN is a 501c3 non-profit organization.  We are a dedicated ALL VOLUNTEER, FOSTER BASED pet rescue. Our hope is to someday secure land and a building to operate an animal shelter in the community where we can carry on our mission on a larger scale.

​WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:  Since we do not receive any county, state or federal funding to operate our rescue, our lifeline to helping these animals comes solely from donations, fundraisers and our adoption fees.  It truly takes a village!  This is where you can help!      

 FOSTER:  Open your heart and home to an animal while they await adoption. As a foster family, you provide the love and care, and PAWS covers the expense of food, supplies and vetting.  You play a huge roll in giving these animals a second chance at life!  Occasionally, we also get requests for a respite or compassion foster from someone needing to temporarily place their own animal in a foster home for unexpected reasons.

​VOLUNTEER:  We have numerous volunteer opportunities!  Help with fundraisers and events. Grant writing. Transport animals to/from the vet or spay/neuter clinic. Set and check humane live traps for our TNR program.  Help search for lost animals. Offer to hold or contain a found animal while searching for its family.

​DONATE:  Monetary donations can be mailed to: PAWS of Adams County - P.O. Box 482 - Decatur, IN  46733 or visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty and click on the “donate” button.  We welcome donations of food, scoopable cat litter, bedding, towels, pet toys and supplies, gift cards, and professional services such as grooming, nail trimming, bathing and medical/legal/professional services. DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

​ADOPT:  Consider adding a new member to your family! They can enrich your life and offer unconditional love!
