🐾Chewy🐾   🐾Little man Chewy is a 10 year old pug/chihuahua mix that needs a special home. He gets along with other dogs and cats, but is not usually interested in playing with them. He prefers people, especially someone that will become his person. Young children are not recommended. He must be handled respectfully, and on his terms. He will come to you when he wants petted, to get belly rubs, and sit on your lap. 🐾Chewy is on anxiety medication, and will need to continue it to help him stay his happy self. He needs a home that will allow him to live out his life in comfort.    🐾Chewy knows how to use a doggie door. He will crate for treats. He prefers to sleep next to his human. He walks on leash and loves car rides. When on leash, a halter is recommended, pulling on a collar makes him cough. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on yearly heartworm prevention, and is microchipped. He is ready for adoption now!If you are interested in adopting Chewy, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.

🐡NEMO🐡🐙Nemo is a 7 month old puppy weighing 27 pounds currently. He should be around 40 pounds full grown. 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 and walking on leash. 🦑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.
