Story
Name: Calvin Age: 7 months Breed: stumpy little chi mix Gender: male Weight: 9.5 lbs Spice level: ️️ Missing limbs: right rear Good with kids: older recommeded if any Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: unknown Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork.   Foster location: Green Bay Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html   Bio: Reislience has a (handsome) face! Calvin was found as a pup with a fractured femoral head of unknown origin. Amputation was his best chance at a normal life, and please believe that missing leg stops him from NOTHING!  Calvin has no trouble navigating a couple stairs, flying across the yard, or getting onto lower furniture. As is the need for limb removal wasn’t enough for a young dog to endure, he also underwent cherry eye repair at the same time. Now, its just soulful and healthy brown eyes staring at you adoringly! While he is a doggy pal loving sweet snuggle bug, Calvin also comes with his quirks. He can be very stubborn and is set in his ways for a youngster. Calvin walks well on a leash, but if theres someone he wants to meet and you keep try to keep strolling- not happening. He’ll give a good screech and plant his feet, and you will be making that person’s acquaintance!  He is also not a fan of other dogs near him when he is ready to crash. He enjoys resting/sleeping in a kennel and will get grumpy with any dogs who bug him while he is snuggled in on the furniture. (Who could blame him?!)  Once he’s had his rest, he is ready to romp around with doggy pals and play with toys once again! Calvin doesn’t bark often- but will if he is getting amped with another dog. If you share a wall with neighbors this is something to keep in mind if he wouldn’t be a solo dog.  Calvin loves car rides and does well going to work with foster mom. He is great at meeting new people, but is mouthy when he gets super excited. He is working hard on more polite play, but it may be best if he did not live with young children at this time.  Calvin doesn’t much like nail trims, but will pose we like a pro for every photo your heart desires, and is top notch company!   Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc.

Story
Name: lola Age: 4 months Breed: chi Heeler mix Gender: female Weight: 12 Good with kids: yes Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: yes Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Foster location: new london Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio: Meet Lola- again. Sometimes, the hardest part of rescue is watching a dog get caught in the middle of circumstances completely outside of their control.Lola is a 4-month-old Chihuahua heeler mix puppy who, unfortunately, has been returned after only a couple of weeks in her adoptive home. We were initially contacted and told that one member of the family wasn't receiving the support they expected from another when it came to Lola's care and training. They felt Lola deserved a home with someone who had more time for her. However, the other family member later expressed that they didn't understand the decision to return her at all. So, do we know the real reason Lola is back? Unfortunately, no. What we DO know is that Lola did absolutely nothing wrong. She was simply caught in the middle of a situation she couldn't control. Adding to our frustration, Lola was also returned without receiving her final vaccine booster that was due while she was adopted. This is incredibly disappointing. Every adopter receives an overview sheet clearly showing what their new dog's medical needs are and exactly when they're due. We also purposely go over that information at adoption so there is no confusion and, most importantly, nothing gets missed. Those boosters aren't suggestions. They're an important part of keeping a puppy healthy and protected. But Lola is back with us now, and we're grateful for that. ❤️ We'll get her vaccines back up to date, give her all the love she deserves, and start looking for the family who is ready to make the commitment to her for the long haul. Lola deserves the home she should have had the first time. Welcome back, sweet girl. Your forever is still out there Lola LOVES giving kisses to anyone and everyone she meets-kids included. Shes great with dogs and is intrigued by the kitties, she wants to play despite them thinking she's a nuisance. Our Pack Animal Rescue, Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823.

Story
Name: Sadie Age: 4 years Breed: chihuahua mix Gender: female Weight: 12 lbs Good with kids: very timid, older would be best as she spooks easily Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: yes Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork.   Foster location: Green Bay Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html   Bio: Sweet Sadie spent a year in a Texas foster home after being rescued from deplorable conditions. She spent the first couple years of her life on a hoarding property with over 70 dogs!  It has taken Sadie ample time to come out of her shell, and she still has a long way to go, but a dedicated home will help her live her best life. Sadie is fostered with several other dogs, and has spent time with cats. She pays the kitties no mind. She is very jumpy as far as loud noises, and does still hide at times. Current nooks and crannies of preference include the guest bathroom or pantry in her foster home. What helps Sadie come out of her shell? Letting her sleep in your bed. It has made a world of difference! She does also enjoy hanging with the humans on the couch, even when company is over. Sadie requires a fully fenced yard, no exceptions. While she is considered a flight risk- this is not because she actively tries to elope. She is still very frightened of walking too far or doing her business on leash. Her foster family continues to work on this, but the gal needs what she needs.  Though new things can be scary for Sadie, she does cooperate. She lets her humans pick her up, trim her nails, etc without growling or nipping.  Sadie gets very excited for meal time, but can still be shy when taking treats. She has played with other dogs some, but isn’t much for toys. House training is a continued work in progress. She often has to be coaxed outdoors, but enjoys her time in the yard once there. While another dog would help her learn the routine of a new home, she would also do just fine as a single dog with an adopter who has had dogs before, especially if experienced with the shyer set.  Sadie isn’t shy about barking at sights seen outdoors such as letter carriers, squirrels, etc and the “window channel” is a favorite pass time. Applying for her is not recommended if you share a wall with neighbors. This special girl has waited so long, but we know it will be worth it when her special home comes along!   Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823.

Story
Katie B. has come such a long way since entering foster care , and watching her confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding! This sweet girl is learning to trust, relax, have fun, and discover just how wonderful life with people can be. Katie B. can still be a little shy when meeting new people, but she is making progress every day. She may need some time to feel comfortable and can seem like she has to “start over” with new people, but she is learning that people can be trusted. Once she feels safe, she loves attention and gentle pets. She will even jump up beside you when she’s in the mood for some affection! She also enjoys her independence and is perfectly happy sitting quietly by herself and taking in the world around her. At other times, she wants to be right next to you getting pets. Seeing her choose to seek out affection on her own is just one of the many little victories that makes Katie B. so special. Katie B. lives with other dogs in her foster home and does very well with most dogs. She seems comfortable with dogs of various sizes as long as they aren't overly threatening or intimidating. She especially enjoys hanging out with her foster dog friend Winnie and is doing her very best to learn how to be a “dog” alongside her! 🥰 And one of Katie B.'s favorite things? Car rides! She loves getting out and about and experiencing new things with her foster family. She settles nicely in her kennel or will quietly find a cozy spot to relax. She is learning that life is about playing, exploring, relaxing, and enjoying all the good things that come with being a dog. Katie B. would thrive in a calm home with a family who understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her set the pace. Katie B. started her journey with us on the very shy, higher end of the semi-feral scale, but look at her now! She is learning to trust, learning to have fun, and discovering that she can ask for affection when she wants it. Her transformation is already incredible, and we can't wait to see what she becomes with a family of her very own. The person who earns Katie B.'s trust won't just be adopting a dog, they'll get to experience the incredibly special journey of watching her become the happy, confident dog she's meant to be.

Story
Meet Benny! This handsome guy is full of personality, love, and goofy charm. Benny enjoys life to the fullest and is happiest when he’s spending time with his people, playing with his dog friends, or chasing after a ball. He’s a fun-loving boy with a sweet side that shines once he settles in. Benny is generally a pretty chill dog who settles down nicely after his initial excitement wears off. When meeting new people, he can come in enthusiastic and eager for attention, but after a few minutes he relaxes and turns into a snuggly companion who loves being close to his humans. He’s very loving, attention-driven, and incredibly gentle when taking treats. He walks well using a command collar and enjoys toys, balls, and chasing fast-moving objects. Benny does best with medium to smaller dogs and enjoys having dog friends to play with. Around larger dogs, he can be reactive during first introductions, but once he feels comfortable, he mellows out well. Because cats tend to overstimulate him, he is looking for a cat-free home. Benny would do best in a dog-savvy, lower-energy household that can help him continue learning how to manage excitement and overstimulation. While he’s a wonderful dog, he can occasionally become overstimulated and may need some structure and guidance, something we’re happy to help his future family with. Due to his exuberant personality, he would do best with children over 12 years old at this time. Benny is a cute, loving boy with a huge heart, and for the right family, he’s going to make an incredibly loyal and entertaining companion.

Story
Boo is the definition of sweet and gentle. This lovable pup has a heart as big as her beautiful brown eyes and is happiest when she's playing, cuddling, or simply spending time with her people. She loves toys and is such a sweetheart that she'll even let her sister "borrow" them, although Coco tends to forget to give them back! Boo takes it all in stride and would much rather keep the fun going by chasing her sister around the yard or enjoying a game together. Boo is working hard on potty training and is quickly learning her daily routine. She's a smart little girl with an adorable smile, a loving personality, and an easygoing nature that makes her a joy to be around. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who is playful, affectionate, and always ready for a cuddle, Boo is waiting to meet you. She can't wait to find a family to call her very own.
