Story
Hello. I’m Penny and I’m around a year old. They say I’m a Catahoula mix. I have webbed feet like a lab and double dew claws like a Great Pyrenees. I have a beautiful brindle coat. My foster mom says I am a really good girl but a little rambunctious. I’m great with dogs and cats, but I do like to chase. I weigh close to 70 pounds so I would probably not be good with smaller kids but 10 and older would be good. I’m doing good housebreaking. My adoption fee is $150. If you are interested in Penny, please visit www.pawscare.org, and click on the online application. We require the application to be filled out and approved prior to meeting her as all of our animals are in private foster homes. Please fill out all information as we cannot process incomplete applications. A phone number for your veterinarian is a must. We CANNOT process your application without a vet phone number.

Story
Hi everyone my name is Tinker. I am a 5 year old Shiz-Tzu, I weigh 13 pounds. Right now I'm staying with a Foster family that has 2 dogs and 2 cats and we all get along together well. I am a lover and like to lap sit and snugle up giving as much loving as I get. I'm looking forward to a forever home with a great family. I am house broke, not perfect, but if for some reason if needed I also will use a "Puppy Pad". I do like to run when I am out side so a fence would be great but my foster family will tell how well I walk on a lead as well. So if you are looking for a new pet to add to your family, please consider me. If you are interested in Tinker, please visit www.pawscare.org, and click on the online application. We require the application to be filled out and approved prior to meeting him as all of our animals are in private foster homes. Please fill out all information as we cannot process incomplete applications. A phone number for your veterinarian is a must. We CANNOT process your application without a vet phone number.

Story
Little girl was unfortunately abandoned with us after we offered to pet sit for a relative and refused to come pick her up or be dropped off after the allotted time we were supposed to watch her. She should go towards a loving family who can give her the time and attention she needs. Currently everyone in our house works full time and is only home at night. Little girl is a loving, gentle and sweet dog who thrives on pets, scratches, and quality time

Story
Gracie is an 8-year-old female Walker foxhound who is the most loving and snuggly foxhound you could ever imagine. She is crate-trained but not housebroken. I rescued her at age 2 and we have had 6 incredible years together. She deserves a wonderful home where she will be loved and cared for. She is good with dogs and kids; cats have not been tested. I would describe her as a loving, snuggly, laid-back dog who enjoys a romp in my fenced-in backyard but is also happy to observe life from a large kennel. She'd love to be an inside dog but has little experience with that... She is gun-shy and afraid of storms, so not a hunting dog. She is the perfect family pet or companion. I am relocating and cannot take her with me. If you can provide a stable and loving home for Gracie, please contact me.
