(when grown) -

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This sweet girl is a gem. She is a beautiful 9 yr old Lhasa Apso/Cocker Spaniel Mix. Jenny’s Wish List: Alone time would be minimal. She loves people and can’t get enough attention. Help losing another 5 or 6 pounds. Minimal Stairs: She has always lived in a single level home and can do a couple of stairs, but flights of stairs are a no go for her, and she is too heavy to be carried. A toy box…….loves her toys. An active adopter that will take her on daily walks. Things to consider: Jenny needs to be professionally groomed every 6 to 8 weeks. Jenny has a touch of separation anxiety and will bark when left alone so apartment living is probably not ideal. She doesn't bark all day but will bark when you leave. She is a strong little girl and does pull a bit on her leash, so she is not a candidate for someone that is not sure on their feet. Jenny does well with other dogs, but again she doesn’t respect personal space and will walk on/over any dog to get on your lap. If there is another pup in the house, he/she would have to be as chill as she is. She does well in a car. She could easily go to the office with you. ADOPTION FEE: $325.00 Apply ONLY at www.paw-affectionrescue.org Please list your groomer as a reference, if applicable. If you have applied with us before, just shoot us an email. No need to reapply.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cricket! Cricket can be summed up in one word. AMAZING! Cricket is 8 years old (acts half her age) is healthy and very hardy ....she would happily accompany you on a 5 mile hike!! She is very smart and has had a little agility training and knows all the basic commands and more! Cricket would love to have a home with active owners that love to walk, hike and go to the beach. A playmate would be a plus but not a deal breaker. Cricket LOVES LOVES LOVES the water. Don't walk her too close to a puddle or she is going ALL in! A fenced in yard is also a bonus but not a deal breaker for an active owner. If there is a fenced in yard it would have to be secured and high enough so that her agility training doesn't become a hazard. About the only negative thing that we can say about this girl is she is an escape artist. If the door is open or she can nudge it open she is off on an adventure. House trained, microchipped, UTD on vaccines and had a dental and she is ready to go!! Adoption Fee: $400.00 Apply only at: www.paw-affectionrescue.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 31, 2025, 9:05 am

Story

Hi. My name is Philly and I am a really good boy. I am an 11 year old Cane Corso/Boxer mix. I have lived with the same human since I was a little pup. He trained me well and had I regular veterinary care up until about a year ago. I am a big lovable baby who gets a little scared during grooming, thunder storms and fire works but I’m never mean or aggressive. I love snuggles, walks, playing ball and fetch and laying in the grass. I am gentle with kids and don’t mind cats but can get scared and unpredictable around other dogs so it would be best if I am the only dog in the home. I was with the same human all my life but he recently lost his home. He is heartbroken to have to give me up but understands that I need a safe place where I can live out the rest of my life comfortably. Will you give me a good home?

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Buddha is a great family dog who is intelligent, confident, and generally calm and reserved, but can be a bit challenging if mental stimulation is lacking due to the breeds dominant nature and need for socialization. Despite his imposing size and demeanor, Buddha is very affectionate and gentle to where he thinks he is a lap dog but he just wants to be cuddled and loved by anyone he comes across. He is great with guests, children and other pets. Buddha would be a great addition to any family looking for a pet who will not only provide love and care but most importantly a protector of your loved ones and your home.
