Story
Lizzie is a spunky female with adorable ears. She is the type of dog who is quite alert, ready for action. She is particular about other dogs so a meet and greet with potential adopters' dogs is required. No patience for small children, but teens should probably be okay. She likes going for walks and getting out in the open in a big fenced in yard would be good for her.

Story
Please contact Pet (information@pethelpersinc.org) for more information about this pet.   Bob here!! I'm looking for my forever home. I am about 3 years old and weigh about 24lbs. I enjoy running around in a fenced in yard and I have been a very good boy and not had 1 accident in my foster home. I also don't mind my crate when my foster mom has to leave. I am enjoying playing with toys here too. Yeah, I try real hard to be good. I can tell you that I am not a fan of bigger dogs . They make me nervous and I already have some anxiety. I think I would like a home with maybe a dog my size or I would be happy to get all the attention. I was acting kind of like a weirdo the 1st few days in my new foster home. But gee what do you expect. I had a home 1 time and had kids of my own but they quit playing with me and didn't want me anymore. That really hurt. My foster mom kept telling me to relax it will be OK. She was thankfully patient and nice. She said I was a good boy and made me believe it. . I need someone to understand me. I am different. I am getting more comfortable in my foster home. So please if you aren't going to give me a week or 2 to settle in. Please don't waste my time. I want my forever home where I will be loved no matter what! I might act like a weirdo the 1st few days but if you give me a little longer. I promise I am a good boy! They took my manhood away and I am now microchipped and updated on shots. I also have been wormed and flea treated. I am waiting for the right person to want to love me. If you are willing to give me time and think I'm cute and want me to live with you and love you... I look forward to meeting you&#226&#153&#161&#226&#153&#161 and remember to ask for Bob yeah that's my name Fill out this application https://www.pethelpersinc.org/adoption-application/ My adoption fee is 225.00   Adoption Fees:   PUPPIES (under 1 year) $250.00,   Includes spay or neuter, age appropriate vaccines, heartworm/lyme test (if applicable), two rounds of dewormer, one round of flea medicine and microchip.

Story
Please contact Pet (information@pethelpersinc.org) for more information about this pet.     Meet Detective Ace Starr! Ace is a retired pet detective from the East Coast. We were contacted about taking this handsome old man in because his mom fell ill. Ace is 18 years old. He is a young 18 though. He still likes to walk around the yard and take in some sunshine with his foster siblings. We let him have plenty of time investigating the yard. Mostly with his nose because he cannot see that well. Ace also finds enjoyment in morning, afternoon and nighttime naps. He likes a good hearty meal and lots of treats. His favorite shows to fall asleep to are on the I.D. Channel. We call it the investigate dog channel. Some super cute moments with Ace involve dance parties when you come home and sitting on his bum waving his paws when he wants picked up. Ace is looking for a permanent retirement home. He got a good report from the vet. His thyroid was a little iffy, but not enough to require meds. He is being treated with drops for his dry eye. His spy eye. Ace was flea treated and wormed. If you have an interest in giving this handsome older gentleman a home click the link and apply https://www.pethelpersinc.org/adoption-application/ . He will be doing a background check out of habit.   Adoption Fees: PUPPIES (under 1 year) $250.00,   Includes spay or neuter, rabies vaccine, age appropriate vaccines, heartworm/lyme test (if applicable), two rounds of dewormer, one round of flea medicine and microchip.

Story
Please contact Pet (information@pethelpersinc.org) for more information about this pet.   This is Spot! He came to us no fault of his own. He is 8 months old and can you say low rider? He is about 28 lbs short and loooong, he is nervous in his foster home with many dogs, but is doing well he is very sweet and full of kisses, he is in need of love and patience for sure. He is neutered, up to date on all of his shots, mircochipped and on flea and tick prevention. Spot does great with other dogs but would do best in a home with a less pushy, bossy friend. He didn't seem to excited to meet a cat or chicken. He is a love bug for sure. He is house trained and does well in a crate, walks well on a leash.
