Story
PLEASE consider Lexi! Lexi is loving, goofy, energetic, crate trained. Does well on a leash. Will follow you everywhere, eager to play and please, loves to nap with her human. Will drape across your legs while you use the bathroom, eat bath bubbles, attempt to put multiple toys in her mouth at once, steal everyone’s bones when they’re not looking & run around the yard. Hides in her crate if she thinks she’s in trouble. Good with kids. Wants all the attention. My 2 older dogs gang up and hunt her. My female GSD has hip issues & can’t handle her since she is more energetic & tends to gator roll through her back legs. Despite attempts, I haven’t been able to get the older ones to not gang up on her; impossible to keep them separated & be on constant watch. Was told she was full shepherd but she’s kinda short but heavy. Saved from a couple who could afford to feed her. Comes w/XL crate/bowls/toys. Please only apply if serious. Had several apply but no response when contacted

Story
I only charge an adoption fee to deter unsuitable individuals seeking a free pet. Bella is a sweet and loving dog. Our family is expanding, and keeping multiple pets with a large family is challenging. Additionally, living in a military community means owning a rottweiler, considered an 'aggressive breed,' presents difficulties. We adore Bella and want to find the very best family for her. She enjoys cold weather and is best suited for older children rather than toddlers. She is 50/50 with other dogs. However, she has successfully stayed at multiple group dog boardings over the years. While she may be protective, she is naturally relaxed and loving. She needs a bit of an experienced owner due to her size. She loves walks, chew toys, and cuddles. Bella has a dog sister and a cat brother she gets along with. Best if she is an only pet with a more mature family. I have Bella's stuff that I can provide for free if adopted. I will want to check on her if adopted as well.

Story
I’ve had Penelope since she was 10 weeks old, she is now 2. Her birthday 9/9/22. She’s fully grown and 48lb. She’s a snuggly bug full of character who keeps us laughing. Penelope is smart and loves to learn, she picks up on training and tricks very quickly. She’s has had basic training classes and is AKC star puppy certified. We have two other dogs and she struggles with guarding toys so she needs a single dog home. She’s also nervous around children. She loves being outside, nose to the ground and exploring. Penelope also loves a good nap and will happily snuggle up in a blanket for a long afternoon snooze. I would say she’s medium-low energy. She likes to talk and will use her voice with grumbles and all kinds of noise to tell you what she’s thinking. To be clear: she’s nervous with kids, not aggressive. She likes other dogs, but deals with guarding so being in a single dog home would be best for her. She’s never seen a cat

Story
Goody is an energetic 3-year-old boxer pitbull mix. He was my brother's dog. My brother passed away recently and I am unable to take care of Goody due to my poor health. He is a good dog and loves to run around and chew on his bones. He is a fabulous companion and will spend hours snuggling with you if you let him. He is fully housebroken. He loves children and is extremely food motivated. He would make a great protector of children and your household. Please consider him for adoption. Thank you

Story
Goku is a family dog, very smart and loyal. He is great with small kids, cats, other dogs and loves to just be glued to you. He is ever so curious about your whereabouts and loves long walks and just being by your side. As far as his story goes, he was found at a farm past Malvern, Iowa. Someone had dropped him off in the middle of the countryside and a kind farmer asked us if we wanted him. Of course we said yes. That same day, we took him to the Vet, got him all of his necessary shots and did a wellness check. They were so thorough with a heartworm test and did a full check up. We unfortunately are moving due to my wife accepting another position out of state. Our new apartment does not accept pets and sadly we have to reach out in order to rehome him. We will need to have him adopted out no later than the end of the month. Please give this little guy a chance. He is a great family dog and we would love to get him settled in.

Story
My name is Murphy and I am a gorgeous brindle boy.  Per my DNA test I'm 37% American pitbull terrier, 12% Australian cattle dog and 7% Labrador retriever. I am a good boy, sadly I've been at the shelter for a long time :( and here is what you need to know:  I need a home with a great leader who can continue my current routines, I'm kennel trained and muzzle trained if you live in an area where i need to wear a muzzle to go for walk. I know sit, down, wait, I love walks and hikes, car rides, belly rubs under the sun, eating ice, doing zoomies on the snow, and I love people!  I have a high prey drive so no small dogs or cats for me. I like children but I think it's best that I live with older ones as I might be a little too strong for them. If you think I can come to your house and show you what a good boy I am, please reach out and let's meet!   Thank you!!!  Love, Murphy.  Thanks to our amazing Angel Sponsors, our long term pups now come with reduced adoption fees, alleviating financial road blocks for some, and making it even easier to open your heart and home to a furry friend. The adoption fee is $100 plus tax and covers age appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and a spay/neuter and a home training session.  Applications are typically worked in time stamp order based on date/time of submission.  If you have other dogs in your home, they must all meet the potential adoptee.  It may save you a trip to bring them with you when you visit, if you are certain you want to adopt a new family member. *****We are currently operating by appointment only during the social distancing stage of quarantine.   If you want to meet this pet, or are interested in adopting, please submit an inquiry or email to tchspapillion@gmail.com. Someone from the rescue will contact you and/or your family and determine, on a broad level, whether you might be a fit for the animal.  If so, they will provide instructions for completing the application. Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted to set up a time to meet at the shelter or the foster home.   The introduction between you and the pet will be supervised by one of the dog counselors or the foster.   If all goes well, you can adopt during the same visit. Please be sure to follow us on Facebook to learn more about Town and Country Humane Society and our mission. ##960891##
