Story
Please contact Pet (information@pethelpersinc.org) for more information about this pet.   Lucy has been looking for her forever home for a long time. She is the cutest girl and very sweet. She gets along with all her foster siblings. We can't understand why she has not been adopted. Some people are going to say that since she has been with her foster all this time they should keep her. We can't keep all our fosters just because they have been with us for awhile! Our mission is to find them homes and save other animals. Rescue is in a crisis situation and for everyone we keep we can't save more. So please if you love hounds give Lucy a chance! We want that for her so much! Lucy is spayed, utd on vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, and has been flea treated! She is 8 years old. Please apply for this sweet girl! I interested in giving this cutie a forever home, click on the following link to fill out an application: https://www.pethelpersinc.org/adoption-application/ She is currently being fostered in Clarksburg, WV   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. ADULT DOGS (over 1 year) $225.00,   Includes spay or neuter, rabies vaccine, first set of routine yearly vaccines, heartworm/lyme test, two rounds of dewormer, one  round of flea medication, and Microchip. KITTENS AND CATS $100.00,   Includes spay or neuter,  vaccine according to their age, two rounds of dewormer, one round of flea medication, felv/fiv test, and microchip.   For more information on this animal email adoptionisforever@pethelpersinc.org. Pet Helpers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foster based volunteer rescue located in Fairmont, WV.  We do adopt out of state to approved applicants, if you are willing to drive to WV to pick up your pet.  We do not fly or use transport companies.  Our adoption fee is $150.00 for mixed breed puppies and adult dogs, $225.00 for full blooded puppies and adult dogs and $50.00 for cats and kittens.  Regardless if the animal is a mixed breed or full blooded they are spayed/neutered prior to adoption IF they are old enough.  If they are too young at the time of adoption, then it is your financial responsibility to spay/neuter the pet by the age of 6 months and you must provide proof for our files that it has been done.  All of our pets are checked by a vet, given the shots appropriate for their age and any other treatment deemed necessary by the vet.  All of our pets are adopted as indoor pets and are not be outdoors tied to a box 24/7.  The pet you are adopting has been living in a home with a foster family.  You are expected to take possession of the pet you are applying for within a few days of application approval.  This will enable us to accept another pet into that home.  Because we are a rescue, and believe that spaying and neutering is crucial in stopping the reproduction of unwanted puppies/kittens and massive amounts of animals dying daily in shelters across the country, we expect any animal already in your home to be spayed/neutered. If for any reason you are unable to keep the pet you have adopted you are required to return them to Pet Helpers, Inc.  They are not to be sold or given away.   Check us out on Facebook!!!!!!  We hope you will give us two paws up, like our page and share with your friends.  Pet Helpers, Inc.

Story
Please contact Pet (information@pethelpersinc.org) for more information about this pet.   Everyone please meet Mavis (Aka Capri)  She is a dream dog! Loves everyone and all dogs! She doesn't mind cats! She is absolutely the best!!  Mavis is extra special with only having use of 3 of her legs. She was injured when she came to us and at that point, she could not use either of her back legs. One of our wonderful and talented vets repaired her the best he could!  None of this stops her from getting around at all.  However, she will need a home with minimal steps.  She is 3 years old and weighs 60lbs! She is currently trying to lose weight and will need some to continue helping her shed some pounds.  Mavis is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and flea treated.  Located in Morgantown WV.  If you are interested in a dream dog, please click on the following link to fill out an application:https://www.pethelpersinc.org/adoption-application/ #pethelpersinc #rescuelife #adoptionsaveslives #adoptdontshop #blueheeler 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.
