Story

Please contact melissa (melissa@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet.  Hi, my name is Tawny!  I am 11-12 years old and weigh 35-40 pounds. I am a very sweet girl that loves to be with my humans.  I wag my tail a lot and am almost always happy!  I like to cuddle on the couch and snuggle next to you at night and for naps.  I also like to chew on Nylabones and explore the yard.  I get bursts of energy and pull on the leash when I'm excited, so don't let my age fool you! I am selective with other dogs.  I love to cuddle with the younger male dogs I have lived with and like the puppies here .  I am not good with cats. I do not like my crate and do ok outside of my crate as long as there isn't any food or trash that I can get into. I am fine if you close doors to other rooms to keep me out, but do not like to be confined in one room. My adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccines, microchip, and spay.  The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an adoption application today at our website www.pawsandprayers.org.  My adoption fee is $100.   ***The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an adoption application today at our website www.pawsandprayers.org.  Inquiries submitted through Petfinder or other third-party websites do not submit as applications in our database. Current/previous veterinarians need permission to speak with us; if we are not able to speak with them, we cannot complete the review of your application.*** September 23, 2023, 11:16 am

Details

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Please contact Jamie (jamie@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet. Meet Coco! She is an 8 year old Pit bull that found her way back to Paws and Prayers due to no fault of her own. Sadly her family’s situation changed and Coco wasn’t able to get all the love she deserves. Coco is great with people and kids, and will do anything for belly rubs and kisses. She’s 70 pounds of joy! Coco loves to be outside and will happily be a walking or running companion; she does especially well with a slip lead leash. She would do best in a home without other dogs unless she goes through some socialization. She did great with other dogs in her first foster home and could surely get back to that place with some special attention! Coco is microchipped, house broken, and crate trained. Her adoption fee is $100.  Apply today at www.pawsandprayers.org.September 23, 2023, 11:16 am

Story

Please contact melissa (melissa@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet. Hi, my name is Xavier!  I was born in early October 2022 (about 9 months old).  I am a mix of American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Boxer, Border Collie and a few other breeds!  I weigh about 25 pounds currently. I spend my days playing with my sibling and trying to keep up with the big dogs.  I also enjoy playing with toys and exploring the yard.         &#226&#128&#139I have already figured out the routine of what door we use to go outside and will go out as soon as my foster mom opens the door for me.  I am working on being fully housebroken.  I am used to being in a crate at night and when my humans are not home.  I do not like to share my food with other dogs.   I accept correction from the adult dogs in the home when I am giving them too many kisses.  I listen to my foster mom and have learned "sit".  I am  used to being in a home with other dogs and interacting with people.  I am a Parvo survivor! An experienced owner is ideal for me to help me continue to learn good manners.   My adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccines, microchip, and neuter.  The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an adoption application today at our website www.pawsandprayers.org.  My adoption fee is $300.   ***The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an adoption application today at our website www.pawsandprayers.org.  Inquiries submitted through Petfinder or other third-party websites do not submit as applications in our database. Current/previous veterinarians need permission to speak with us; if we are not able to speak with them, we cannot complete the review of your application.*** September 23, 2023, 11:16 am
