Story
Murdock was found with another dog, Stiles. He needs someone who can help him with his manners and has time to throw the ball. He is very loving once he gets to know you! Come meet him at the shelter. He would do best with someone who can handle a larger dog as he is not good on the leash... YET.

Story
Ghost has not had a great start to his life. He requires to be the only pet in the home. He probably shouldn't be around kids(at least to start) and he really dislikes cats. He has been at the shelter for over a year. He has been slowly working on his manners. He is looking for someone to be his partner in crime. He is sooo lovable and gentle. Currently, we are working on walking him with other dogs. He LOVES to play ball and go for a walk.

Loka is a 1 year old spayed pure bred Belgian malinois looking for a good home she is a very smart girl she loves playing fetch, car rides and snuggles but she is also a very high energy breed she needs lots of exercise and training. She knows sit stay heel and a few other commands she does well with kids and other dogs. My living situation is changing unexpectedly and unfortunately I can not keep her. Loka has been with us for almost 2 months now she was skinny when we got her but shes starting to gain weight other than that no issues! My phone number is 607-767-5933

Story
Moose is a very sweet but very high energy dog who needs a lot of attention. He is just under a year old and world be a great addition to your home if you are familiar with high energy, slightly stubborn dogs. It breaks my heart to rehome him, but my other dog suffers from stress induced seizures and his high energy has caused her to have them much more frequently. He is crate trained and I'm happy to send the crate with you. I'm willing to negotiate or remove the adoption fee for the right candidate.

Story
Hi... Luke here. I'm an older gent who is pretty much set in my ways. I'm not a fan of kids or other dogs. What I do love is: Food... wet, dry, peanut butter, cottage cheese, pumpkin, you name it! Short walks (remember I'm old). I will let you know which way I want to go and when I'm ready to go back inside. I love chilling on the couch The dirty clothes hamper... I'll even help you empty it out! I love adults/big people I am crate trained and being older, I do have occasion accidents. OHHHH I forgot to mention... I LOVE BEING CARRIED AROUND in a nice fluffy blanket!! I mean, my needs aren't a lot, I have my likes and dislikes just like everyone. If you think I might be just the guy for you, let m peeps know. Just submit an application and make sure you put my name on it... Luke. Luke is up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, flea treated and has been dewormed. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335 Please Note: We are making changes to our Foster to Adopt process. Limited resources to follow up on pending adoptions and delays in processing payments is adding to our financial restrictions. Going forward we will collect payment when the dog is transferred to the potential new owner and will be held for an agreed upon trial time. Exceptions or extended trial times will be considered on a case by case basis and will depend upon the need or situation.
