Story
Wyatt is a friendly and playful 4-year-old who loves people, playing ball and treats. He is a very smart and loving boy who knows basic commands and is eager to please. While Wyatt is joyfully exuberant, he does calm easily. The one thing keeping our loveable Wyatt from finding his forever home is his strong prey drive. He is not fond of cats, dogs or other small creatures.. We believe that he would benefit greatly with proper training to curb that instinct. A physical fenced yard is highly recommended. Wyatt has been vet checked, neutered, is up to date on vaccines, flea, tick and heartworm prevention. Adoption fee $135 cash which includes a dog license. Pets are seen by appointment. We ask people to complete an interest form which is online at https://pawshumane.weebly.com/interest-form.html .or email for a fillable form at pawshumanesocietyinc@gmail.com

Story
Meet Percy, an adult dog with a big heart and lots of love to give! Percy may not get along with other dogs, but he loves people and is especially friendly once he gets to know you. Volunteers adore him, and one even described him as “the bestest boy!” Always the optimist, Percy enjoys basking in the sun and receiving belly rubs. He likes treats and toys, and he’s even well-behaved when it comes to leash-walking and riding in cars. Percy really shines as a solo pet, and with his estimated birthdate in 2018, he’s just hitting his prime. He has been vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and he’s on heartworm and flea prevention. We’re sure that Percy will be a devoted companion, and we’re hoping to find him a forever home where he can really shine. Adoption fee is sponsored thanks to generous donations from Percy's friends (includes leash & collar.) If you are interested in adopting Percy, please fill out an interest form, which can be found at https://pawshumane.weebly.com/interest-form.html. If using an Apple product, please use Chrome or Edge App not Safari or email us for a fillable form. We look forward to finding the perfect home for this sweet boy!
