Story
I always wanted a corgi. One day I was online and happened to find a local breeder who had an 8 week old female corgi puppy. I was so excited to get her. I remember getting her on the 4th of July and it was a great day. Unfortunately life happened and finances became an issue and she never got the proper care she needed. I have other dogs in the home and they receive proper vet care but the past few years has been nothing short of crazy so she never recieved any shots or got fixed. She uses potty pads in the house since my other small dogs do but she probably would go outside if trained to. I recently just had a baby and she has gotten more aggressive towards the other dogs. As well as showing food aggression and being overprotective to where it's a problem. She has never bit a human. She is sweet and energetic but needs to be the only pet in the household. Whoever she goes to must take care of her and give her the life she deserves and vet care she desperately needs.

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.

Story
Handsome Turner ***Turner unfortunately tested positive for heartworm and is presently going through treatment. He is available for someone who is able to follow protocol during his treatment and is able to get him to his vet appointments. Turner is a happy, extroverted, play and cuddly guy. He has not met a person he doesn't like. Best suited for a highly active home with no cats. Older children would be best due to his energy level. Turner is just an all around great guy. If interested, please submit an application. 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.
