Story
If you are interested, you MUST complete the application. We will only set up meet and greets with an approved application. Pixie is one of 10 small defenseless little dogs that was dumped in the middle of many many acres of nothing but soybean and corn fields. What a horrible fate for these dear sweet babies. Animal Control was called and they called PAWS to see if we could assist with trying to catch them and take them in. We have spent over two weeks (at the time of this post) and managed to catch 7 of them. We are still working to catch the last two that we can find and have not seen the 10th one since the first day. These babies have been through quite the ordeal and are now ready to go on to homes where they will be loved and doted on. They are all shy at first and definite flight risks so they will not be adopted to homes with children and will require that the adopter have a fenced yard. This beautiful girl, Pixie, is very shy and will take someone with lots of love and patience to win her over. She came around very quickly with me but gets very scared if anything in her environment changes or if she is taken to a new environment (such as the vet). She is a very loving little girl who wants to be loved so badly but just can't forget that humans have not been kind to her. She is still very afraid of fast movements. She will do well with other other dogs as long as they are her size or smaller and allow her to be the boss. She is about 11 lbs and we guestimate that she was born around 07/01/2018. Her adoption fee is $350.

If you are interested, you MUST complete our application which can be found at pawspaws.org. We will only set up meet and greets with an approved application. Pascal is one of the small defenseless little dogs that was dumped in the middle of many many acres of nothing but soybean and corn fields. What a horrible fate for these dear sweet babies. Animal Control was called and they called PAWS to see if we could assist with trying to catch them and take them in. We spent over three weeks and managed to catch 9 of them. (It was reported that there were 10 but we never spotted a 10th dog.) Pascal is very shy and protective at first but once he gets to know you, he just wants to love and be loved. He will require someone with lots of love and patience to win his trust. He came around very quickly with me. He is a very loving boy who wants to be loved so badly but just can't forget that humans have not been kind to him. He seemed to be the protector of the group and did a little growling and snapping when he first met us. He is still very afraid of fast movements. He will do well with other other dogs as long as they are his size or smaller and allow him to be the boss. He is about 15 lbs and we guestimate that he was born around 07/01/2018. His adoption fee is $200.

Story
Smores is one of the 10 Chihuahuas that was surrendered because his mom could no longer care for them. Smores is very timid when you first meet him but quickly turns into a playful, funny boy. He weighs 6 lbs and was born on 02/07/2018. He is still on the thin side and his skin is recovering from the flea infestation but he is coming right along. He was not a fan of a bath in the beginning but he soon learned that is was pretty soothing! He is not good with children so he will not be adopted to a home with children under 15 years of age. He needs a quiet home where he can snuggle with his family and sleep under the covers! He is just the best boy and I know he will add so much joy to your home if you just open your hearts to him. If you are interested, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the application. I will take applications for him until he is ready to go which will be March 20 at the earliest. Thanks so much for your interest! His adoption fee is $200.

Story
Sugar Plum is another of the 10 Chihuahuas that was surrendered because her mom could no longer care for them. She was in relatively decent shape when she came in as she is a little bossy when it comes to food so she was at least getting a little to eat. She is happy and playful but yet loves to be held and sit in your lap. What a sweetheart! She does not do well with cats and would be happier if there were no other dogs or no more than one other one small like she is. She had her dental on March 16 and lost the four teeth that she still had! She was born on 01/01/2014 and currently weighs right at 6 lbs. Her adoption fee is $250. (to try to help with some of the vet bills). If you are interested, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the application. All appointments are set up after we have an approved application. Thanks so much for your interest!

Story
Pedro was adopted from PAWS almost 4 years ago. He was returned because his mom and dad could no longer care for him. He is a good boy but does take some time to warm up. He will bite if cornered until he gets to know you. If treated kindly, he will be a cuddle bug who is loyal and loves with all of his heart. It didn't take him but a minute to be completely relaxed with me and he has done well with all who have met him in the past few days. He will not be adopted to a home with children since he is reactive when scared. He weighs 7 lbs and is 7.5 years old. He is just looking for someone to understand his fears and give him the love and happy home he deserves. He is reported to be housetrained. His adoption fee is $200. If interested, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the application. Once I have an approved application, I will contact you to set up a meet and greet. Thanks so much for your interest!
