**This information is current - when you email you can rest assured we will email back within 24hrs., but usually within an hour of receiving your email!**The rescue support donation is not for the 'purchase' of a dog, but rather to cover the medical and other costs of all dogs in our care. Shelter support donations are NOT NEGOTIABLE for that reason. Please respect that and do not email us to ask. Without ongoing support and adoption fees, our rescue WILL CEASE TO EXIST!**No phone calls, EMAIL ONLY, AlphaMom33@aol.com to get an application, thank you for understanding.** **These dogs are in foster homes, not a shelter setting; therefore we only accept appointments for those reasonably sure they WILL adopt the dog for which they are applying.**   At A Glance:  Meet Theo!  Breed: Standard Schnauzer and Poodle (25lb) Age: 2 years Energy:  lively and playful  Barking: will readily alert bark  Size: 25 lb.  Kids:  OVER 10 no exceptions - including visiting grandkids Cats:  VERY dog-savvy cats only, he's good if they don't run! Dogs: a smallish female (spayed) PERHAPS but Theo would be best as an ONLY DOG.  This includes *after* he's adopted, so be the type person who enjoys one-on-one hanging out with your pooch!  Health: excellent, Theo is an amputee of his right back leg, affectionately known as a 'tri-pawed'. This affects him in no way, he runs like the wind and loves life and lives it to the fullest! Dogs don't sit around mourning what they don't have - that's what makes them so wonderful!    Theo came in as a foster dog, but due to the recent loss in our family and subsequent changes in our living situation, we need to find him a new, permanent home. He is 2 years old and is  whip-smart and a quick learner. He was graduated from basic obedience straight to Canine Good Citizen class, which he passed easily! We'd known him mere months when we enrolled in the class which is quite an impressive feat for him. He did finish as a 3-legged dog, another feather in his cap! Theo is registered with the AKC Pals program so he could do any AKC classes and activities out there, including agility and barn-hunts! Theo should go to a home with no other dogs due to his possessive tendencies. He is a sweetheart, but gets 'jealous' and guards his person from other dogs. He's never hurt another dog but it's difficult to pay attention to him as a result of this.  He *might* be able to live with a nice but slightly dominant female of similar size or smaller than him, as he regards our older female as 'the boss' and doesn't guard from her.  He is afraid of larger dogs. **Absolutely NO dog parks** Any home who adopts him must understand this, and be happy with a ONE DOG home ONLY. We know they are out there. And Theo LOVES older people (seniors especially!) Theo is neutered (of course), chipped/registered and he IS a THREE LEGGER/Tri-pawed! He is 25lb. and is believed to be mostly Standard Schnauzer with possibly Poodle mixed in. He runs like the wind and his different-ability doesn't slow him down! Theo is good with kids over 10 - he likes younger kids in his therapy work but not for his living situation - this is not negotiable and includes visiting grandchildren if present.  If anyone would like to know more, email us at Alphamom33@aol.com!  His new home will need to either know how to groom him or be able to spend the $60 + every other month to have him professionally groomed. Ongoing training (this is a MUST) will be POSITIVE based and NOT 'SIT MEANS SIT'! They train with shock collars and this would be disaster for Theo! Theo was on track to become a Therapy dog until the loss of our family member put everything on extended if not a permanent hold   There's a $595 donation to adopt Theo. This is on the higher side but he's worth that, and more - we've spent in excess of $400 for training and grooming alone. His vet care was well over $1k for neuter and amputation.     http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-PAW-UP-Rescue-E-WA/92163841238  EMAIL US - AlphaMom33@aol.com TO REQUEST AN APPLICATION-We WILL RESPOND within 24 hours (usually less!) All adopters are required to pick up their new family member HERE, within a week of your application being completed and being approved to adopt. Because this is our home, we have LIMITED SPACE to keep dogs, THANK YOU for your understanding.  The sooner an adoptable dog finds a home, the sooner we can rescue another! ****If you are unable to come adopt for longer than a week, a deposit ($50) and/or a $10/day donation towards boarding may apply!**** *Be aware that if you cannot adopt the puppy you've already placed a deposit on, you forfeit your deposit and it becomes a donation to our rescue.* Thank you for your understanding.      **All our foster dogs and puppies have been vaccinated with Galaxy DA2PPv at least ONE TIME. When appropriate and available, they get a rabies vaccination, and they have been dewormed at least once. They come with a health record that reflects this at the time of adoption. They are also Microchipped and come with a free month of health insurance.** No meet and greets take place without a completed/approved application.  **We DO allow out of state adoptions, but we DO NOT ship our pets.  **These dogs are in foster homes, not a shelter setting; therefore we only accept appointments for those reasonably sure they WILL adopt the dog for which they are applying.**  The rescue support donation is not for the 'purchase' of a dog, but rather to cover the medical and other costs of all dogs in our care. Shelter support donations are NOT NEGOTIABLE for that reason.

Meet Miss Roxi. Roxi is a beautiful German Shepherd mixed puppy. Roxi is a very intelligent high energy pup that is ready for her forever home.

If interested in Roxi contact Randy via email at Adoptarezdog@gmail.com with Roxi in the subject line. Introduce yourself with contact information.

Story
Returned TWICE by his "loving family". The first time was a horrible experience we can only imagine the horror he went through that caused him to become reactive to other animals yet remain absolutely loving to all humans. He is adored by his second family but he got into a situation with a neighbor dog resulting in a puncture on the neighbor dogs leg and his family doesn't feel the apartment home is a safe environment any longer. Best place for this boy would be best in a home without other pets, a sturdy fence and a big yard to romp in. He's a great dog with one flaw and that's his inability to be ok around other animals. As of now he's still in Butte Montana and he needs a new home to go to right away.

Story
LD is a young, sometimes people selective boy. He may be selective about people, but once he bonds with you, he will be by your side faithfully for the rest of his days. He will require a home with no young children, as he has not been around them in our care. He is a medium energy boy who would love to be a part of your daily routine for the rest of his life. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and ready to love you!
