Story
Once she is comfortable, Gwen Stefurry (also known as Zoey) is a happy little wiggleworm who sometimes just has to jump for joy. We are working on keeping four paws on the ground with her trainer. She is the sweetest, most affectionate dog and is the definition of "cuddle bug.” As much as you may be tempted to let her on the couch, she is NOT a couch dog while she’s learning rules and boundaries. See, she really likes to claim things as hers, toys, food, space, etc. Once she does, she has no problem telling you it’s MINE. She should continue to be fed in her crate for her comfort and safety. She wants to be as close as her people as she possibly can. However, she has been learning how to exist in the same space with a human with her trainer and NOT be touching them. Because she can be a nervous gal, she clings to her people in many situations. She also gives off a “happy” vibe with people in the house, but then gets conflicted when they approach her with nowhere to escape. She needs a home where people will give her a safe space to learn, grow, and thrive. She's done great on her outings to public places-she can be a very cautious and looks to her people for reassurance but she's happy to come along with her people. She would benefit from people who can continue to teach her rules and reassure.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Chae came to PMR very pregnant and has given birth to 11 beautiful babies, all of whom were adopted in 2022.  Chae is extremely skittish but not at all aggressive.  She is a typical puppy mill dog, used soley for breeding with little to no human interaction.  This is extremely hard to unlearn. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.  WE WILL NOT PROCESS APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT MATCH THE CRITERIA WE ARE LOOKING FOR. Chae is absolutely beautiful.  Everyone wants a Golden...But not everyone is the right fit for Chae. After many months, Chae still prefers running away to coming to you.  She prefers women over men and typically only allows petting when there is no way to avoid it.  That said, she seems to enjoy it once it's happening.  She prefers to hide under things.  She feels safer like that.  Underneath the  china hutch in her foster home is her fav hiding spot. Chae needs a quiet home with not a lot of coming and goings.  She requires a 6' privacy fence and an experienced adopter.  No first time dog owners for this girl.  She also needs an adopter that will abide by our contract and our requirements for transitioning in to a new home.  She will come with a Fi gps collar that the adopter agrees to continue maintaining after the one year 'gift' period.  These dogs are high flight risks.  They get out and you will never catch them! If you are looking for a dog to take out and about, Chae is not the dog for you.  At least not yet..If you are looking for a girl that will come around in her own time, maybe sooner, maybe later, and you have the patience and love to give her, we would love to talk with you.  No small children please.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 8, 2023, 9:30 pm

Story
We are looking to rehome our Dog Kizer. This is a very tough decision as kizer has been apart of our family since he was a puppy. We currently have a 8 month old and are expecting another child. We are able to care for kizer but he has a ton of energy and needs more attention. He would need to be the only pet as he is not friendly with other animals. He is perfectly house trained and loves to play outside. It would be best that he is in a home with no kids, he has been wonderful with our little one but he just is a ball of energy. He loves playing ball, and finding stuff to chew on. He loves to stay cool given he has thick fur coat. He is a great best friend to us. If your interested in learning more about him please reach out.

Story
I have been taking care of this sweet boy since he was a puppy & I got him from a breeder. Now 55lbs, he is a great cuddler and loves a good walk. His favorite game is ball! He has a lot of energy at home, but he is only really likes walking 2-3 miles a day, and if you play ball with him on a hot day he will lay down after about 15 minutes! That being said, he loves destuffing his toys/playing with a rope inside and likes to have a bucket that he can pull all the toys out of. He was crate trained as a puppy, but due to longer work hours I stopped putting him in the crate while I was gone. I love my little Sabby with all my heart, but with the financial hardships I have experienced recently, I have to spend half of my week out of state and will be working 12 hour shifts. Because he is so high energy when left alone for extended periods of time because of his breed, he needs someone who can come home to him after about 8 hours and doesn't have to board him for days at a time.
