Story
Penelope!   DOB: 10/2018   Weight: 60lbs Found by a good samaritan and never reclaimed, Penelope is now ready to find a home of her own. She's a husky/shepherd mix, as many can probably tell by the pictures. We're thinking her to be around 5 years old. She's a charming canine, full of personality, and a little bit of attitude . Always wants her head rubbed, but when it's walk time and you're too caught up in something else she'll start whining at you to get going. Penelope has been fine with dogs here and enjoys the company of people. Will sit for a treat, and does walk decent on the leash once she's calmed down. Penelope would make a great addition to any home seeking a loyal, loving, and lively companion... so long as they don't mind a little hair of course. Her adoption fee is $175. That helps us to cover worming, vaccines, spay/neuter, heart worm test, and microchip. We offer a 2-3 week trial. If for some reason it does not work out, you'll be refunded $100 of your fee. If interested in adopting her please fill out an application on our NEW website. https://www.newliferescues.org . If you have issues, send us a message through our Facebook.***YOU MUST FILL OUT AN APPLICATION BEFORE WE DO ANY MEET AND GREETS. QUESTIONS? CONTACT pcpoundpuppies1@gmail.com Our standard adoption fee is $175 ($250 for puppies 6 months and under, or small dogs 20lbs or below) which covers a portion of the dog's vetting costs. The adoption process includes the completion of an application followed by an interview. Click here to submit an adoption application:

Story
Storm!     DOB: 8/2019   Weight: should be around 85lbs  Met with adopter  will pick up for trial 12/14 Storm is gorgeous German Shepherd/Husky mix. Very tall, really thick hair. He came in with two other dogs as part of a neglect case. Here at the shelter Storm is quiet and tends to keep to himself. That is until our dog walks wrap up, then he sends up some howls. He’s pretty well mannered. He enjoys going for walks and when he comes back he usually heads to his barrel at the end of his kennel run to just observe everything else. He’s interested in cats, but no growling or snapping. He’d need to live with a more chill cat if any. Storm has lived with other dogs and does ok with the dogs here with a proper introduction. He previously lived with little kids too and did great with them. Storm is very flighty and wary of new people, so you can’t just run up and pet him. You have to introduce yourself slowly. Once he warms up he’s a total doll! He’s believed to be house trained as he grew up in a house.  His adoption fee is $175. That helps us to cover worming, vaccines, spay/neuter, heart worm test, and microchip. We offer a 2-3 week trial. If for some reason it does not work out, you’ll be refunded $100 of your fee.
