Story

Come visit me at PAW!Adoption fee: $450Angus is a striking dog with his black wavy coat and a heart as big as his presence. Loyal, and full of personality, he thrives in a calm, adult-only home. Angus would do best in a household without kids or other animals, where he can be the center of attention and get the love he deserves. Potential owners must be willing to go slow and build confidence and trust with Angus. He has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion with firm but fair guidance. Angus is also learning to keep all four paws on the floor and how to keep his big slobbery mouth to himself. He is a smart cookie who knows how to sit, stay, shake, down, and come. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who’s equal parts tough and affectionate, Angus is your guy!

Story

THIS ANIMAL IS NOT FIXED AND WILL BE ADOPTED OUT ON A SPAY/NEUTER AGREEMENTCome visit me at PAW!Adoption fee $550Puppies are irresistible, who can say no? Before you commit to bringing a puppy into your home please take into consideration puppies need a lot of time, patience, training, care, mental & physical stimulation, as well as veterinarian care. We recommend you do research on the breed of puppy before adopting to ensure it will be a good fit for your family. Before the arrival of your new puppy we have some tips to ensure a smooth transition into the home.-Puppy proof your home. Block off any nooks or crannies, put away electrical cords, and remove anything you don’t want your new puppy to chew on or get into.-Pick out any supplies you would like to get for your new puppy like appropriate toys, a crate if you’d like to crate train, food, etc-Don’t overwhelm your puppy on day one. Pick a place the puppy can be comfortable and safe in to adjust to his/her new home!Once your puppy is settled, expect to see chewing, getting up to mischief, and having accidents in the home until they’re house broken. They do require more time, training, and attention than an adult dog but the joy of watching them grow and shaping them into a wonderful dog is worth the reward. And remember, what is cute as a puppy is not always cute as an adult!
