Story
Please contact Pet (information@pethelpersinc.org) for more information about this pet.   Bertie the girl with the beautiful smile! Meet Bertie! We picked her up from animal control after her owner left her there. Bertie was in bad shape. She was skinny with her bones showing and overgrown nails. We got Bertie to the vet immediately to find out she is diabetic. She also has trouble with her vision which is probably related to her diabetes. We got Bertie started on insulin and a special diet. She is doing great. Bertie is the sweetest little girl. She is so loveable and cuddly. She is doing great with the other dogs in her home. We would like to find her a home with experience with diabetes. If you would like to be considered apply here. https://www.pethelpersinc.org/adoption-application/ In the meantime we would like to ask for donations for her care. Bertie has a wish list and links for donations on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1T5ILFWIDHO7I... We have PayPal for her insulin and vet care PayPal.me/penniesforpets For more information on this animal email adoptionisforever@pethelpersinc.org.

Story
Please contact Pet (information@pethelpersinc.org) for more information about this pet.   Lovely Briar was found running in the Cheat Lake area of Morgantown, WV. After attempting to find her family, she was placed with her foster family. We believe her to be a boxer mix, about 1 year and half old, 42lbs. Briar is a very sweet girl who knows several commands. She is very smart and is learning other commands quickly. She appears to be housebroken. She's not a huge fan of a crate but quiets down eventually. Briar is happiest at your side and has a wiggly butt that just wont quit. She gets along ok with dogs but shows too much interest in cats, so would need a canine only home. She has been vetted: spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed and flea treated. She tested positive for lyme disease and anaplasmosis, and is on a round of doxycycline. She is heart worm negative. If you would like to make Briar apart of your forever home, please go to : https://www.pethelpersinc.org/adoption-application     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.   Gutherie! Oh where do we start with this little guy? He is more of a “You can look but can’t touch” kinda guy! If you are looking for a cuddler or lap dog Guthrie is probably not your guy! He might also be Gremlin. He kinda looks like someone fed him after midnight. “This land is my land, and this land is my land!” That is Gutherie’s motto. Gutherie thinks he is a big herding dog. He feels the needs to herd all the other dogs in the home to keep them in line. Especially at dinner time! Gutherie lets you pet him. On his terms! If you try to pick him up and hold him, he acts like a screaming goat who found out the store was out of his favorite feed. We think he was not handled much. He came from a hoarder with many others. On a good note he is not a biter! Except that one time. Gutherie does not want long walks on the beach or shopping trips to Target. He would rather fly around your house like a 5lb feral pigeon. Gutherie loves other dogs and does not mind cats. He is not a fan of kids. We do not actually know that. However, we do not think he is a fan of humans all together. Is he house trained? Who really knows at this point. He does go outside. You would need a fenced yard or preferably a cement wall like they put around castles. Maybe even a moat. Otherwise, he will be running around the neighborhood telling people they’re his b!”@$! Gutherie is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He did test positive for Lymes, but is being treated for it.
