My story

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

It’s always sad hearing one of our adopted dogs has been turned into the animal shelter. Thankfully, every animal that leaves our custody is microchipped to allow us to know when things like this happen. Rowdy was a 12 week old mixed breed puppy who was adopted May 2025. Unfortunately, the family was no longer able to keep him and another dog in the home, and opted to surrender them both to the shelter. While it is written in our contract to return our animals back to us, these things happen. We are grateful the animals shelter made us aware and we have a foster bailing him out tomorrow morning.

Rowdy will be available for adoptions starting tomorrow. We have to update his heartworm test and then he will be ready for a second chance. We know that he is great with other animals, super friendly, and an all around great companion. He was not surrendered because of his behavior or any fault of his own. He’s still a baby and has lots of energy. He weighs around 40-45 pounds. We aren’t sure his mix , but look how adorable this guy is!

Additional adoption info

Petty Pawz Rescue reserves the right to deny adoption applications if we do not believe the family or animal is a good fit for you. We stand by our animal's and their safety and only want to set them up for success! Petty Pawz Rescue is operating with less than 3 people, so it may take longer than expected to hear back with your application status.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We generally host adoption events at our headquarters (contact us for address) every Saturday and Sunday from 9-2pm. We can also make arrangements throughout the week if you are not available to visit. We are foster based and have to align your schedule to the foster's schedule in order for you to meet the animals. We do not have a facility you can visit at this time.

More about this rescue

Petty Pawz Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization focused on rescuing and assisting animal shelters that are overcrowded or animals considered high-risk. We do not accept owner surrenders at this time as our focus is animals that are in immediate danger. We specialize in pregnant animals, orphaned animals, senior dogs, or animals needing medical assistance. We are foster based and can only accept what we have availability for foster wise. We take in both cats and dogs, big or small! Our mission is to prevent the overpopulation in animal shelters and to find loving forever homes for the animals in our custody!
