Rex

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Jackson, MO

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rex was rescued from outside of my job about a month and a half ago. I have no idea where he came from because he was running loose without a collar. I did a Wisdom Panel DNA test on him though, and he’s purebred shepherd. He was doing fine when I first brought him in. He’s never pottied in the house or in his kennel (he’s kennel trained now). However, I have 2 other shepherds (one male and one female). The male is now starting to display dominance over Rex, and it’s scaring him. He’s never snapped at either of my dogs but, it’s causing my other 2 to act out and stop listening to me. They are regressing on their training and I don’t have time to train 3 dogs at one time since I work longer hours. Rex would do amazing in a home that has some time and patience to give him the love and training he deserves. He’s the sweetest boy and will love you for the rest of his life if given a chance.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Story

Lisa is an awesome dog! She’s got all her shots recently so they are good for a year, she was spayed and microchipped. She’s still a puppy so we have been trying to kennel train her but in a month I will need to go out of town for several months and I just can’t lock her in a kennel for 13 hours a day while my husband works. She deserves a good home! She’s good with cats, dogs, and children! There is no rehoming fee! I’d just like her to find a good home

Jet

Labrador Retriever Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 5 yrs 5 mos

Anna, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Jet, loving known as Jetter Jetter Jetski, came to PAWS after the person who had him and his brother broke their jaws. Bennie's was a clean break and healed quickly. He is enjoying life with a wonderful mom and dad who love him very much. Unfortunately, Jet's jaw was shattered beyond repair. After many vet visits and consultations, it seemed that the best plan of action was to wait until he was a year old (after all of his growing was complete) and then try to replace the jaw. We had a surgeon lined up and the appointment made but he suddenly decided he did not want to try the procedure. But the good news is that during all of the waiting time, Jet has flourished and grown, despite all of the odds against him. He is a 75 lb, full of life, ready to play, energetic, take on the world, boy! It is now the opinion of the vets that he can live a full and happy life just as he is, without jaw replacement. Yes, he has a disability that requires that he can only eat canned food but that has not stopped him from doing everything that every other dog does. He can tear up stuffed toys with the best of them! He will require a home with someone who can devote the time to making sure he eats only canned food and is never given any hard food or treats that might become lodged and choke him. He will be best in a home with no children. He likes other dogs but tends to play very rough and all out! If you are ready to welcome this very special, precious boy into your home, please go to https://www.pawspaws.org to complete the application. His adoption fee is $200.00.

Sheena

Beagle Labrador Retriever

Female, 3 yrs 3 mos

Anna, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sheena was found on the side of the road. Someone had most likely dumped and then someone hit her and left her. A passerby picked her up and took her to the vet. Luckily her injuries were pretty minor and she recovered quickly. She is an energetic, smart, funny young girl who loves to play. She has not done well with other dogs so far as she plays really rough and can be intimidating! If introduced slowly, she will most likely be fine with dogs around her size. I would not recommend a home with small children since she does tend to play so rough. She is thought to be have been born around December, 2020. She currently weighs about 40 lbs. She is a happy girl who will make you smile with her beautiful happy outlook! She listens well and just wants to please so badly. Her adoption fee is $200. If you are interested, please go to pawspaws.org and complete the application. Once approved, I will contact you to set up a meet and greet so you can come to meet this baby girl! Thanks for your interest!

Pixie

Chihuahua

Female, 5 yrs 8 mos

Anna, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

If you are interested, you MUST complete the application. We will only set up meet and greets with an approved application. Pixie is one of 10 small defenseless little dogs that was dumped in the middle of many many acres of nothing but soybean and corn fields. What a horrible fate for these dear sweet babies. Animal Control was called and they called PAWS to see if we could assist with trying to catch them and take them in. We have spent over two weeks (at the time of this post) and managed to catch 7 of them. We are still working to catch the last two that we can find and have not seen the 10th one since the first day. These babies have been through quite the ordeal and are now ready to go on to homes where they will be loved and doted on. They are all shy at first and definite flight risks so they will not be adopted to homes with children and will require that the adopter have a fenced yard. This beautiful girl, Pixie, is very shy and will take someone with lots of love and patience to win her over. She came around very quickly with me but gets very scared if anything in her environment changes or if she is taken to a new environment (such as the vet). She is a very loving little girl who wants to be loved so badly but just can't forget that humans have not been kind to her. She is still very afraid of fast movements. She will do well with other other dogs as long as they are her size or smaller and allow her to be the boss. She is about 11 lbs and we guestimate that she was born around 07/01/2018. Her adoption fee is $350.
