Story
I adopted Oso a little over 2 and a half years ago living in a house in Waukesha, the landlord sold the house and I have not been able to supply him with a stable living environment since then and he deserves to have a stable living environment. He is extremely active and loves people and to go to the dog park. He is an independent dog who can be stubborn at times but also is extremely loving. He loves to play and run around and would be great with someone who has a fenced in yard or lives in the country.

Story
Baxter‘s owner passed away in hospice two weeks ago. Her family asked if we could help take care of Baxter and his sister Cassie and find a perfect home for them. They are the most loving and affectionate little dogs but definitely could use a fenced in yard or will always need to be on a leash. They both could use a little brush up on their house training, but are very cooperative if you catch them in time. Their owners last wishes were that Cassie, the gray one and Baxter the white one stay together as they’ve been together since they were born they both are roughly 7 years old, but not siblings.

Story
  Name: Butch - Sponsored adoption Fee Age:  8 years Breed:  chi mix Gender:  Male Weight:  14 pounds Good with kids:  Probably not as he is very scared of fast movement Good with dogs:  YES! Good with cats:  YES! Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Yes Adoption also includes Certified Vet Inspection, and prior vetting paperwork.   Foster location:  Iola, wi Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html   Bio:   Meet Butch!    Butch made the trip from TX with a few of his friends that were all part of a horrific hoarding case that also involved a fire. Due to this trauma, he is learning what safety means and feels like. He is slow to warm up to humans, but instant friends with canines. Due to this, it will be imperative for Butch to get a forever home with a dog who can help him feel comfortable.    Butch has been making huge strides in his foster home! Due to his past trauma, his decompression time has been a bit longer than most. Every day he gets a little more comfortable with humans. He will need a patient human who will take things at Butch's pace AND a doggie friend to show him his human is safe!    Butch is a submissive boy to his canine friends. There has been no food aggression. He was the perfect gentleman to a tiny kitten his foster watched over night. He has been perfect with a consistent potty schedule. He sleeps in bed with his foster family every night and snores like a freight train.    Butch still gets spooked by fast movement but then realizes he is safe and comes right back for reassuring scritches on the chin! Butch seems to be very hard of hearing, but not fully deaf which may contribute to his startling.   If you have patience and a dog looking for a friend, apply today! Butch is waiting to meet you!!   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.    July 12, 2026, 3:08 pm
