Story
***Out-of-Town Pet*** Miyuki is currently in Crosby TX but is available to be transported to her forever home! Meet Miyuki, your future furry friend! This adorable pure white pit bull mix is full of love and personality. At around 2 years old, she’s just recently been spayed. You can tell she might have been used for breeding before, as her teats hang a bit low, but don’t worry—we're confident they will return to normal as she continues to grow. Miyuki is in great health and has tested negative for heartworms, making her a wonderful companion for years to come. When it comes to playtime, this sweet girl loves to have fun but prefers it to be on the calmer side. She knows how to speak up for herself and will gently let other dogs know when she needs a break. She also has a bit of a curious streak when it comes to cats! She’s very interested in them, though it’s hard to say if she wants to chase them or just play. Around people, Miyuki is such a relaxed and easygoing girl. She loves nothing more than to lounge around the house or take leisurely walks, enjoying her surroundings at her own pace. We think Miyuki would do best in a home with someone who has experience with pit bulls. She’s a strong girl with a little stubbornness, which means she might need some training with basic commands. The good news is that she seems pretty smart, so we’re sure she’ll pick things up quickly with a little patience and love! One delightful aspect about Miyuki is her pure white coat, which led us to worry about potential deafness; however, we are relieved to report that she is not deaf! If you’re interested in giving this sweet girl a loving forever home, please fill out the form below. Thank you for considering making Miyuki a part of your life! https://form.jotform.com/241765023842152 As part of our adoption process, we are committed to ensuring that this is the perfect match for both you and the animal. Finding your forever best friend is our priority, and we appreciate your trust in us to facilitate this important decision. When introducing other animals in your home, we strongly recommend a thoughtful and gradual approach with all of our rescues. Keep in mind that not all dogs will get along. They have their own preferences, just like people do. The same goes for interactions with children; it's crucial to prevent overwhelming the adopted animal during the first meetings. Take the time you need to assess how they interact. Please be aware that all adoption fees are classified as donations to support our mission and organization. If the dog is returned for any reason, the donation will not be refunded, as we will incur costs for their transportation back to us. Thank you for your understanding and for making a difference in the life of a rescue animal!

Story
***Out-of-Town Pet*** McLovin is currently in Crosby TX but is available to be transported to his forever home! Allow me to introduce you to McLovin, a charming and spirited pit bull-lab mix who will celebrate his 2nd birthday this coming January. He has a striking pure white coat adorned with tiny black dots at the very tips of his ears, which adds a unique touch to his appearance. More than just a pretty face, McLovin possesses an incredibly sweet disposition and a lively personality that makes him a joy to be around. McLovin's journey began when we rescued his mother from the streets, just one week before she gave birth to a litter of nine adorable puppies. From day one, we have lovingly cared for McLovin, who is the last remaining puppy from his litter. Unlike his siblings, who all found their forever homes through various adoption events hosted by another rescue, McLovin was adopted as a young puppy but sadly returned to us after only a few days. His new adopters felt that he was experiencing depression and insisted it was best to bring him back. However, it's important to understand that this response was completely normal; having spent his whole life in our care, McLovin was simply struggling to adjust to a new environment. In hindsight, it seems that it was fortunate for McLovin that he was returned, as it became clear that his previous adopters did not possess the patience or understanding required for a deaf dog. This handsome and lovable boy is now in search of a dedicated forever home where he can thrive and grow alongside a caring family. Despite his deafness, McLovin is not held back in any way. He is an energetic and playful dog who enjoys frolicking in the yard and exploring his surroundings. He eagerly engages with new friends, both human and canine. McLovin has an impressive eagerness to learn, and he responds enthusiastically to my silent commands communicated through hand signals. He has mastered several tricks, including sitting on command and giving high fives. Although he makes a genuine effort to stay in one spot when asked, his affectionate nature often leads him to seek out cuddles, hugs, and kisses, which is a testament to his loving spirit. Finding McLovin a remarkable and patient forever home is my ultimate goal, as he has so much love to give. If you are interested in bringing this sweet boy into your home and heart, please don't hesitate to reach out for more information or to arrange a meet-and-greet. Thank you for considering giving McLovin the loving family he truly deserves! If you're ready to welcome this sweet, handsome boy into your home, please fill out the form through the link below, and we’ll get back to you promptly. https://form.jotform.com/241765023842152 As part of our adoption process, we are committed to ensuring that this is the perfect match for both you and the animal.

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.
