Story
I am only asking for money to make sure she goes to a good home. She is a very sweet and kind pitbull mix. I found Winnie, a one-year-old pitbull mix, back in October. I took her to the vet to be checked for lice and for a chip. She had neither. The vet stated she is a little over 1 year old and a pit bull mix. She was spayed and given a rabies shot at the Veterinary hospital in Decatur in March. She is extremely loving and sweet. She is very gentle with our two daughters when they give her treats. We have been trying to crate train her while we are gone, but she is still learning. She does love to chew on things, so make sure she always has a toy available. We were hoping that with her being spayed, her temperament would decrease, but it did not. She has too much energy for us to handle. She needs more one-on-one attention and training. We do not have time to take her for walks or a backyard to give her the adequate space she needs for exercise. It hurts me that we have to rehome her.

This charming little guy is the definition of a gentle soul and is ready to spend his golden years soaking up love in a forever home.Fife is a laid-back boy who enjoys the simple things in life. He loves sunbathing in a cozy spot or lounging by your side. He’s a big fan of treats (seriously, they’re the way to his heart!) and happily keeps himself entertained with a good chew toy. His favorite place, though, is right next to you, soaking up belly rubs and snuggles.Fife has Addison’s disease, but don’t let that scare you. He’s thriving! With a simple routine of a monthly zycortal injection and a daily prednisone pill, he stays happy and healthy. Not to mention, he takes them like a champ!This sweet boy is both crate trained and potty trained. He’s great about letting you know when he needs to go outside and does best with regular potty breaks. He gets along well with other dogs, and occasionally gets the zoomies to play with his foster siblings. He hasn’t been tested with cats or kids just yet.He loves to go on walks and walks nicely on a leash.Fife is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and on regular heartworm prevention—he’s all ready to head home with you!If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion with a heart of gold, Fife might just be your perfect match.. if you’re interested in our sweet old man, please visit: www.pawsofadamscounty.com and complete an adoption applicationWhen applying, please answer each question completely and honestly.

Hi everybody, I'M CHAMP💙When I first came into rescue a few weeks ago, I was very timid and shy. They called me flapjack because I pancaked on the floor a lot. I have definitely come out of my shell and am turning into the perfect mix of playful and affectionate! 💙I am a border Collie mix and am approximately 6 months old. I currently weigh in at 32 pounds. 💙I love playing with the doodle gang here in my foster home, so I know I would definitely love to have a playmate to help me burn off some of my puppy energy! 💙I'm great with the cats and will sniff them (they smell funny) and just lay next to them. 💙I'm basically Mr. Congeniality with everyone! 💙I am crate trained andhave learned the doggy door very well. I'm actually a pretty smart boy! Oh, and did I mention handsome...with these blue eyes and all? 💙I am still a puppy, so I need guidance on all puppy matters....chewing, jumping up, play biting etc.I also don't remember ever wearing a collar or being hooked to this thing they call a leash...and it's a little scary! I'm still learning to trust that process, but I'm getting the hang of it! 💙I will steal your heart and be your best friend and a treasured part of your family if you adopt me! 💙I am available for foster-to-adopt with my adoption being finalized after my vetting is complete.I already started those poky things they call vaccines and microchips and started taking monthly heartworm prevention. My vetting will be completed by the end of the month after my neuter (I'm not sure I even want to know what that is)! 💙If you're interested in me becoming a part your family, please submit an adoption application at www.pawsofadamscounty.com.The ladies here say you must answer all questions completely and honestly to be considered being lucky enough to share your life with me! 💙I can't wait to meet my forever family! 💙www.pawsofadamscounty.com

Story
👑 Prince 👑💙Prince is a 2 year old, 68 pound pit bull mix. He appears to maybe have some American Bulldog in him? We pulled him along with Snow White and their 7 Dwarf puppies from the Indianapolis where they were “strays” so age and breeds are both estimated based on looks and health. 💚Prince is a very friendly, easy going guy. He is great with other dogs big and small, doesn’t mind cats and good with kids. He is crate trained and potty trained, walks well on leash and rides well in the car. 💜Prince is a good mix of goofy/playful and couch potato. He would love a home were he can lounge on the couch, play with another dog and cuddle with you in bed - make note: your spot in bed is his spot if you don’t beat him to it! 🧡In a perfect world, we would love for Prince and Snow White to be adopted together as they are very much BFFs but we know that is a very big ask. As long as they have other doggie companions that they can cuddle and play with; they should be just fine in separate homes. 💛Prince is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccines, heartworm tested negative and on heartworm prevention. Prince is more than ready for his forever home! If you are interested in adopting Prince please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.

🐡NEMO🐡🐙Nemo is just over 1 year old and weighs around 35 pounds currently. Nemo is a border collie mix. We were told his mom had some German shepherd in her. 🪼He is great with other dogs and would benefit from having another dog in the home. He is still coming out of his shell and learning so for now, Nemo does require a physically fenced in yard. He is making great strides at potty training, crate training and walking on leash. He is fine with cats but older kids would be best. 🦑Nemo is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested negative and on monthly heartworm prevention. If you are interested in adopting Nemo please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly.
