Minnie

Great Dane Black Mouth Cur

Female, Adult
East Prairie, MO
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Minnie is a very sweet, gentle girl who is housebroken and does well with kids, cats, and other dogs. She has a calm, affectionate personality and great indoor manners. She was found abandoned with another dog and followed us home together. Both have since been spayed/neutered. Breed is unknown but appears to be Great Dane and possibly hound mix. Minnie would do best in a home with space to run or with an owner who can walk her daily. She is bonded with her “brother,” and we are hoping to find a home willing to adopt them together, if possible. Fee would be flexible for a bonded adoption! Sadly, we are unable to keep her due to the needs of our family, but we want to find her the loving home she deserves.

Story
My husband and I moved here 3 years ago with his teenage daughter and two dogs we had adopted years prior. Since then, we have been caring for 3 dogs that were left in the cemetery we live next to. Mombo was the last one we took in. Our home situation has changed, in that his daughter no longer lives with us, we moved in his mother with her dog, and we have a new baby. We no longer have the time or help to provide the proper care and attention these dogs deserve. So we would like to find them more suitable owners and homes. Mombo is a beagle/boxer mix. He's 2.5 years old and probably about 80 pounds. He is a high energy dog, but loves to cuddle at the end of the day. He's afrad of thunder, gunshots, and fireworks. He will also chase after cats and sqirrels.

Story
Hello, I have had Chalupa for 8 years. She is not very good around other dogs cats and children. We have recently had a baby and Chalupa has been acting out. She is a really loyal dog and definitely has that chihuahua attitude. She has diabetes that was discovered 4 months ago so and has been doing good with 9units before breakfast and dinner. Chalupa is a very old dog she has some arthritis in her hips so she just moves slower, she does enjoy an occasional walk though. Her shots are up to date and she goes to the vet for regular blood suger checks, she has had a teeth cleaning every year for the past 5 years she is missing 12 teeth of mostly front teeth.

Story
We purchased Rigby in 2021 from the Cape Girardeau Humane Society when she was 6 weeks old. She had her shots and was spade. We are looking for a loving family with a big back yard for her to run and play. She loves to play fetch and will do it for hours. She is great with other dogs and people (she doesn’t know a stranger). We have to rehome due to our busy schedules as coaches and a growing family. We currently have a 3 year old who loves her dog Rigby.

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.

Oliver

Chihuahua Pug

Male, 9 yrs 1 mo
Anna, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oliver was surrendered to an Animal Control facility because his owner was neglecting him. He was so scared and untrusting when he first arrived but was also so wanting of attention and affection. He was a bit standoffish and reactive to quick movements for a couple of days but he quickly gave kisses when I sat quietly with him and just let him be. He is a great little guy who weighs about 22 lbs and is believed to have been born around 11/20/2016. He just needs a little love, patience and kindness in a quiet home with no children. So far, he has been good with the other small dogs that he has been in a playgroup with but they are always supervised. This boy has SO much love to give and I just pray someone with open their heart to him and give him the chance to be loved that he has never had until he arrived at PAWS. He is neutered, up to date on shots, microchipped, Heartworm negative and on preventative, and had a dental on 12/06/2024. His adoption fee is $200. If interested in becoming his family, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the application. Thanks so much for your interest!
