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.

Story
Gracie Meet Gracie, the 2 year old tiny rat terrier with a heart of gold. She is a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she is the sweetest loving cuddle bug you’ll ever meet. After she has inspected the backyard and had her zoomies you can find her cuddled up on the couch with her human. Gracie gets along with other dog’s, cats and respectful kids. She is crate trained up to 8 hours. Though she would love a human that is around more than not. A fenced in yard would be recommended but not required. If you are looking for a sweet, playful, cuddly dog to add joy to your family Gracie might be it. Gracie is Birdie’s mom… it would be great to see them stay together. All current pets MUST be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335 Please Note: We are making changes to our Foster to Adopt process.

Meet the beautiful Winnie.... Winnie is a 4 1/2 yr old mixed breed looking for her forever home. Winnie is crate trained but would probably do well without it. She walks very well on a leash and prefers it for potty time. She loves rides and rides well. She has come out of her shell pretty quickly after not doing well in a shelter. She was very timid and hid behind every thing. Now she is on the couch and jumping on the bed and doing the “spinnies”; she zooms and spins in circles. Plays with dog toys. LOVES treats! She seems good with older respectful children, but has not been around toddlers. Good with the fosters small dogs. Winnie will need regular grooming. We aren't exactly sure her breed, but we know she's super cute! If interested in meeting Winnie, please submit an application. She is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped.

Story
Clancy Hi I’m Clancy... I’m approximately 2 years old. I’m a good boy (kind of). I like to help my foster mom fold clothes which she’s not very appreciative of. I also like to help sweep the floor and I ABSOLUTELY love paper towels… those things are so awesome! I also help mom get her jacket on when she’s heading to work. AGAIN she’s not very appreciative. I probably shouldn’t go with small children cuz I play bite. Foster mom says it hurts and tries to get me to stop, but I think it’s quite hilarious. I’m not fully housebroken, but I am working on it. I'm good with other dogs and quite a playful little fella. When I get the zoomies my mom laughs cuz she thinks it's just the cutest thing. I am up to date on vaccines, fixed and have been microchipped. If you think you can give me a loving forever home, please submit an application. PS… I’ll probably be nervous for a few days. I’m also a ladies man. I’m still getting used to foster dad. He’s ok, but not as cool as mom. All current pets MUST be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335 Please Note: We are making changes to our Foster to Adopt process.

Story
Meet Angel also known as Annie…. Annie is approximately 2 yrs old and is a chihuahua mix who weighs 16 lbs. Annie and Mocha are pretty bonded and we would love for them to stay together. Annie is fast, friendly, and affectionate. Likes doing zoomies, is crate trained, and mostly housebroken. She gets along with other dogs, likes children, and occasionally likes to tease the cat. It may take a little time for her to trust a new fam.ily, but once you have won her over she will be your best friend. Annie would do best with a fenced in yard as that is what she is used to. Annie is utd on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped and spayed. All current pets MUST be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335 Please Note: We are making changes to our Foster to Adopt process.
