Story
Ghost is a 16-month-old Doberman full of curiosity, intelligence, and energy. He currently lives with another large dog (a Bully XL/Cane Corso mix), and they play together daily and coexist very well. He has also been gentle and affectionate with our three children (ages 8, 7, and 2). Ghost is crate trained, potty trained, and knows basic commands. Ghost is a high-energy adolescent Doberman who would thrive with an active owner or someone familiar with working breeds. He enjoys exercise, play, and learning. He is very curious around cats, so a home without cats—or with an owner experienced introducing dogs to cats—would likely be the best fit. Our family is going through major life changes, including a separation and downsizing, and we can no longer provide the time and lifestyle that Ghost deserves. We are looking for a loving, committed home where he can continue to mature and thrive.

He’s tan with white markings on his face; and he is quite the handsome pup. Weighing 33 pounds, he’s expected to grow into a medium to large adult dog. Like any puppy, Gus is full of energy and playfulness, and he’d thrive with an active family. He’d also love to play with other dogs and children. Gus is eagerly waiting to meet his forever family.Dog/puppy adoption fees are $120.  Cat/kitten adoption fees are $75.  All pets will be spayed/neutered before adoption; or you will be given a discount spay/neuter certificate to be used at participating vet clinics to help with the cost of spay/neuter.  Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices.

Story
Please note that PAHS does NOT do online adoption applications.  You must come to the shelter in person to meet the PAHS pets.  Prince is a 7-month-old male Catahoula mix who will need to be neutered before adoption. This handsome stray was brought in by city animal control and sports a tan coat with large brown spots, giving him a striking merle-like appearance. Weighing 40 pounds, he’ll grow into a medium-sized adult. Full of energy and playfulness, Prince will need a securely fenced yard to run around in. His high activity level makes him a great fit for homes with older children, though he might be too rambunctious for little ones. If there’s another dog in the home, a meet-and-greet is required to ensure they get along. Prince will thrive with a patient owner who can give him plenty of exercise and help channel his boundless energy.  Dog/puppy adoption fees are $120.  Cat/kitten adoption fees are $75.  All pets will be spayed/neutered before adoption; or you will be given a discount spay/neuter certificate to be used at participating vet clinics to help with the cost of spay/neuter.  Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices.

Please note that PAHS does NOT do online adoption applications.  You must come to the shelter in person to meet the PAHS pets.Patrick is a 2½-year-old male American Bulldog/Catahoula mix. He was brought to the shelter in the middle of the night, tied to the front porch post. Patrick has a striking dilute light tan coat with darker brown merle markings. He is very handsome, with impressively large ears that seem almost comically alert! Patrick weighs 66 pounds, making him a strong, sturdy companion. He is playful, energetic, and loves romping in the fenced yard. A big fan of toys, Patrick is ultimately a gentle giant—calm, well-behaved, and affectionate. He enjoys giving unexpected little kisses and would likely do well in a home with both dogs and children.Dog/puppy adoption fees are $120.  Cat/kitten adoption fees are $75.  All pets will be spayed/neutered before adoption; or you will be given a discount spay/neuter certificate to be used at participating vet clinics to help with the cost of spay/neuter.  Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices.
