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.

Chihuahua Pug

Male, 8 yrs 11 mos
Anna, IL

Story
Oliver was surrendered to an Animal Control facility because his owner was neglecting him. He was so scared and untrusting when he first arrived but was also so wanting of attention and affection. He was a bit standoffish and reactive to quick movements for a couple of days but he quickly gave kisses when I sat quietly with him and just let him be. He is a great little guy who weighs about 22 lbs and is believed to have been born around 11/20/2016. He just needs a little love, patience and kindness in a quiet home with no children. So far, he has been good with the other small dogs that he has been in a playgroup with but they are always supervised. This boy has SO much love to give and I just pray someone with open their heart to him and give him the chance to be loved that he has never had until he arrived at PAWS. He is neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, Heartworm negative and on preventative, and had a dental on 12/06/2024. His adoption fee is $200. If interested in becoming his family, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the application. Thanks so much for your interest!

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Babe was adopted from PAWS as a 6 month old puppy (DOB 02/10/2015) and finds herself back in the shelter 10 years later due to her mom having to go into a facility where she could no longer care for Babe. She is a sweet girl who is active and playful. And she loves her belly rubs!! She loves other dogs but is not really sure about cats. She has done well with everyone she has met while she has been back with us. She would really like to go to a home as she really doesn't understand what has happened to her world. Won't you be the one to make her world complete and come meet her and tell her she is THE ONE? If interested in adopting her or any of our babies at PAWS, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the PAWS application. If approved we will contact you (usually within 72 hours), to set up a meet and greet. This girl is praying for someone to see her for the sweet girl she is!!

Story
Bandit was surrendered to an Animal Control Facility because he was "chewing on things". Yes, he is a puppy and that is what puppies do! He is a funny, sweet, very active boy who weighs 6 lbs and is a little over three months old. He has had no training of any sort and very little attention until he got here so he is very excited to play and very busy. His pictures are not the best as he didn't want to miss out on anything and sit still!! But he is the sweetest boy and will fill your life with love and lots of smiles!! He will be available on Wednesday, Oct. 15. If interested in adopting him or any of the babies at PAWS, you will need to leave this website, go to your search engine bar and type in pawspaws.org. Complete the PAWS application (not the inquiry on this site). If submitted correctly, the system will send you an email with a copy of the application attached. I will get back to you, usually within 72 hours of receiving your application. His adoption fee is $350. He will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on the shots available for his age and started on Heartworm preventative. Thanks for your interest!

Story
Rhett was part of a hoarding situation. His lucky day came on June 14 when a kind soul took him from that terrible situation and brought him to PAWS. He was a pitiful site - his fur caked with feces and dirt, fleas all over him, toe nails so long he could barely walk, and so hungry. But, despite all of that, he found a way to be such a happy boy and seemed to know his life had just gotten better. He has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on his Parvo/Distemper and Rabies shot. He did test positive for Heartworms so we have begun the treatment and will be sure that is completed. This special, kind hearted boy deserves to know the love of a family of his own and I just know the right one is out there waiting for him. If interested in adopting him, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the PAWS application. You will need to leave the Petfinder site and go to your Google search engine and type in pawspaws.org. Meet and greets will be arranged after we have an approved application. He is a treasure will make your life complete! His adoption fee is $300.

Story
Abbie was found wandering the streets all alone. She is such a sweet, young girl that didn't deserve that fate. We have searched and searched for a possible owner in case she was truly missing but no one came forward. She has had her vet appointment and is spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested (negative), has had one Parvo/Distemper shot so she will need two more to complete the series and has her rabies shot. So this girl is ready to begin her new forever! She is happy and playful with some spunk. She has been friendly right up front with everyone she has met so far. She currently weighs 7.8 lbs with her ideal weight being 9-10 lbs. Her adoption fee is $350. If interested in adopting her, please GO TO pawspaws.org TO COMPLETE THE PAWS APPLICATION. Be sure to read the questions carefully and answer all questions in detail. We will need to know if your pet or pets are up to date on shots and heartworm preventative and will need to know the name of the heartworm preventative. We will need this information even if your pet is deceased or you no longer have it. We also need the name, address and PHONE NUMBER for the vet where records can be verified. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Thanks so much for your interest in this beautiful, sweet girl!!
