Story
Doug is in the house!This big, handsome boy is Doug. He came to PCHS when he was found as a stray and no one claim to claim him. While we do not know a lot about his back ground, we do know that he is super friendly, loves people, and has an exceptional enthusiasm for life! Doug is estimated to be a pitty/lab mix and roughly 2 years old. He does know some very basic commands such as sit, he will need some practice with his leash manners. He is a very strong boy and using a harness to walk him would be recommended. Doug is a smart boy and would likely learn more commands with some time and consistency. He would love a fenced in yard where he can run around and burn off some energy, however, we are not requiring it. Doug has not been dog or cat tested at this time. He may be too much for feline friends, but with proper introductions he may do okay with a canine companion. If Doug sounds like he could be a good fit for you, apply online today!Adoption fee is $350 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
Meet the `O` puppies! This group of 7 pups (4 boys and 3 girls) are ready to start looking for their new homes!These puppies came to us after being found in a container in a ditch a few weeks back. They were on the thin side and covered in ringworm. They also had some intestinal parasites that needed to be treated. After some much needed dewormer, tasty food and antifungal medication, these pups are looking and feeling so much better! They are estimated to be almost 3 months old and they will be large dogs, likely over 70 pounds when fully grown! We do not know what kind they are, but they appear to be some sort of large lab mix. Like all puppies, these guys would benefit from some basic training and obedience to help them be the best canine citizens they can be! They would do well with another canine friend to play with in their forever home, and would likely do well with an active family with or without kids. If one of these adorable puppies seems like they could be a match for you, apply online today!Adoption fee is $500 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
Meet Bubba!This thick, handsome boy came to PCHS from an impound. Bubba is estimated to be between 6-8 years of age and is around 87 pounds! Bubba appears to be a Chesapeake Bay Retriever or an English Labrador Retriever, but we do not know for sure. Bubba was in desperate need of some medical attention when he arrived. He had a severe double ear infection and very inflamed and itchy skin. He is on the mend and starting to feel better with some much needed medications. Bubba has thickened ears likely due to untreated hematomas over the years. He also seems to have struggled with skin allergies for some time. He was recently started on an allergy medication and his new owners will need to be committed to giving him this medication for the rest of his life. Bubba is sweet, affectionate, and enjoys going on walks. He seems to do okay with other dogs, and with proper introductions he may be able to live with cats as well. If Bubba seems like the one for you, apply online today!Adoption fee is $350 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
This happy boy is Titan!Titan is a terrier mix breed that is estimated to be around 1 to 2 years old. He is on the medium side and only weighs about 50 pounds. Titan was an owner surrender to a neighboring impound and when there was no more room at the impound, he made his way to us. Titan is a ball of energy and would make a great running or hiking partner! He also is very food motivated and knows some basic commands like sit and wait. He does let his excitement for food get the better of him sometimes as he stole a hotdog off one of our counters! But look at that face! Who can stay mad at that?Titan would love a home that can show him structure, love and stability. He absolutely loves people and attention. We have been told that he is good with other dogs as well as cats, but we have not done our own test to verify that. If you are looking for a new `BFF`, look no further and apply for Titan today!Adoption fee is $300 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Story
Meet this fast little guy!This is Speedy! His name sure fits him as he enjoys frolicking though the yards at top speed. Someone might need to tell him that he is in fact not a race car.Speedy is a young, terrier type mix dog and is on the medium side. He is under 50 pounds and is estimated to be between 1 to 2 years old. This sweet boy has a love for life and everyone in it. Speedy has never met a stranger, he enjoys getting attention and going for walks. Speedy came to us from an impound when he was found as a stray and never claimed. That didn`t seem to affect him though, he settled in here very quickly and is starting to learn his new routine. Speedy would benefit from an owner that is patient and can help curb his enthusiasm in constructive an positive ways. If you are looking for a life time companion, look no further and apply for Speedy today! Adoption applications can be found on the homepage of our online website. Adoption fee is $200 + $30 microchip fee + tax
