Story
Wheeler is a special boy who needs a special person to help him blossom into his full potential. Wheeler came to OAHS as a stray, and is slowly letting his personality through. He has a very obvious sweet side, but can be slow to adjust to strangers and new environments. With patience (and some treats) Wheeler will get comfortable and affectionate, asking for pets and putting his paws on you, as if to say `I trust you`. We know that there is someone out there who can help Wheeler be his best self. More about Wheeler:-Approximately 1.5 years old (estimated)-Weighs 76 pounds-Anxious overall but very sweet once comfortable-Seems anxious around other dogs at first. Would need a calm co-exister -No knowledge on how he does with cats -Suggested for a home with children teen-age or above -Would do best in a calm, quiet home without a lot of foot traffic-Appears to be potty trained & crate trained -Moderate energy level-Smart boy! Knows sit, down, shake-Neutered, vaccinated & microchippedPlease note dog visits are by appointment to ensure staff and space availability so we can make the best match possible.

Story
Name: Zoey Spice level: &#239&#184&#143&#239&#184&#143  (Wants to seem tough, but its an act) Age: 3 yrs Breed: chi mix Gender: female Weight: 7 pounds of pure cute Good with kids: not fostered with, would likely be afraid of high energy levels Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: not fostered with Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Foster location: Green Bay Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Bio: Meet your comedic relief, Zoey! Zoey is a wee girl bringing big energy. Zoey is very vocal, and initial meetings will bring on growls and barks. She may give off Vecna vibes, but will crouch should you need to pick her up. She will run in an attempt to get away for some time (and is considered a flight risk), but is cooperative for care.  Zoey will need help with house training- in total transparency, she is not at all trained and does become fearful when outside. The leash is something she’ll need to get used to. Her foster home will continue working hard on these things, but all in all she would not be for a first time pet owner. Having another dog in the home to show her the ropes would be a huge help. She is fostered with ten other small dogs, and while she does great- she has quite the scrappy attitude. She loves running around with toys- and will pretend to chomp another dog as they run by when the mood strikes. Again, its all an act- and she is happy to snuggle in and let others give her thorough sniffs. Zoey is sure to keep you laughing, and when you least expect it will sneak up on you for belly rubs. She is treat motivated, and if you want to make fast friends just keep the goodies coming. This girl is going to take awhile to come out of her shell, but she is 100% worth it- and we are loving her shenanigans along the way! Our Pack Animal Rescue,  Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823. Meet and greets are arranged after an application has been approved. An approved application does not mean you must adopt the dog of interest, if it isn't a good fit.February 5, 2026, 11:01 pm

Story
Buddy is a good boy with the sweetest heart. He is 6 years old, and belonged to my Mother who passed away from cancer. He is loving and attentive to his owner, and has many quirks that will always make you laugh. He loves walks and to run around at the dog park. Fetch is one of his favorite games! He loves to play with other dogs as well, but is also content to just cuddle up on the couch with you. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions.
