Adoption Fee: $400.00We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI.

Our Weight Classes are as follows: 0- 25lbs - Small 26- 45lbs - Medium 46-89 - Large 90+ X-large If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped. If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped.

Updated: 12/01/2023 Dog Name: Paula Sex: Female Estimated Breed Mix: Labrador Retriever/ Mix Approximate Age: 5 months Approximate Weight: 25 lbs. Description: Paula here. I am a happy girl and being approximately 6 months old, I still have a puppy brain sometime. But, I am a pretty quick learner and try to do good. I really really like it when I am told I am a good girl. It makes me so happy. I love people and other dogs, however, cats are a no. I am crate trained and housebroken. I love to play with squeeky toys and bones and ropes. I especially love when that red dot shows up and moves across the floor. Even though I am really good at chasing it, I never seem to be able to catch it. I am never going to stop trying though. Maybe someday. I enjoy going outside and going for walks. There are so many things to see and oh so many smells. I wish I could run free and also play with another doggie friend. I am inquisitive and observant. When I am not playing or going for walks or looking out the window, I'll curl up on the couch and nap. If you are there, I will snuggle up with you. Oh yea, almost forgot, when it is time to eat, I sit and wait to be fed. Then I chow down. I take treats nicely. I would really like to meet you and be a part of your family.
