Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogBiography Important Information Please read! If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care. Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train.  Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue.  However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs. The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children and we do not know how they will react. Hi! My name is Pinto, and I am an adorable Morkie baby boy who was born 11/23/23, and I weigh 6.5 pounds. I need a family who will give me lots of love and attention and a sibling my size to play with and learn from is a requirement. No large dogs as I am afraid. If you have been waiting for a gorgeous Morkie baby, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org. Love, Pinto 072024-15  October 20, 2024, 4:11 pm

Securing a good photo of this dynamic child is tough due to his non-stop energy. Running, playing, and investigating his environment are his passions. He shows excellent manners and a strong sense of self-reliance.

Story
Hello There! Get ready, cuz here we come! We are Bobby, and David and we are quite the dynamic duo, ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and fun! Our beloved owner who took excellent care of us, passed away tragically and unexpectedly and just as tragic, we were left with no where to go. The family members have some really mean kitty cats that did not like dogs at all, so Forever Loved stepped up to give us the next best home. We went right in to a foster home with plenty of other dogs to play with, and the fosters say we are such good dogs and will be hard to give up! Make you want to learn more about us?? Bobby here - I am a 5-year-old 11 lb Maltese mix, and in great health. The vet said I had some gingivitis, whatever that is, but after a dental, I have nice teeth and fresh breath! My favorite thing to snuggle up with at night in my bed is my stuffed monkey toy. David here - I am a 9-year-old 32lb Corgi mix and except for being a tiny bit overweight and having normal senior eye issues, I’m healthy myself. My favorite thing is chewing on nylabones and I prefer to keep them to myself. I won’t pick a fight over them, but I definitely let the other dogs know that it is “mine!” I think it is so much fun to dissect stuffed toys. That’s another normal doggy behavior, and it has its root in food acquisition. Speaking of food, we both are great eaters and finish our bowls with gusto. We are both very reliably house-trained, we learned to use a doggy door, and our fosters say our tails are always a wagging. We have good house manners, and if we all start barking, we will shush at just a single cue. We met a child and were so happy to have someone to play with besides other dogs. Not that we don’t like other dogs, quite the contrary, we love everyone! No reason why you can’t adopt both of us together! We are not double the work, but we do bring double the snuggles, cuddles and kisses.

One of his favorite activities is going on walks, where he can explore and enjoy the fresh air.

Story
Baby is an adorable little Maltese Poodle Mix girl who will love you with all of her heart. She came from a hoarding situation where life was hard and she had to be on guard and fend for herself against many other dogs. She does not shed but will require periodic professional grooming. She is not hyper but is very playful and enjoys playing with another dog. She loves to run and needs a good yard to run in. She does become very attached to her person. Baby is about 4 years old and weighs about 10 1/2 lbs but should weigh closer to9 lbs. She loves to sit next to you or on your lap. She has not been around young children. She will need time to get to know new people who come into the home. Baby is good on a leash and is potty trained Baby is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will require professional grooming every 8-10 weeks or so. She will also need some brushing and regular nail trims. Baby's adoption fee is $400 All adoptable dogs have had at least one health exam. Dogs with any health concerns have had bloodwork and almost all dogs over 5 years o.ld have had bloodwork. All dogs have had all of their core vaccinations including rabies vaccine (if permitted by age) and have also had Bordatella (kennel cough) vaccinations. Adopters will receive all paperwork and all dogs will receive a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also allow us the ability to put funds towards the next homeless or unwanted dog in need of rescue!

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY*  Super Duper Cooper is an irresistible 1 year old, 10-pound Malti-poo with the most fabulous underbite you’ve ever seen (and who doesn’t adore a charming underbite?)!  Once you meet him, it takes a total of 5 seconds to fall madly in love! Cooper is a fluffy bundle of joy! This little dude is all about spreading good vibes and making pals left and right…He is the kind of guy who’s down for anything, a walk (he’s an expert at walking on a leash), car ride to anywhere, but especially a play session with a four-legged buddy!   Not only is Cooper incredibly cute, but he’s also smart and very sweet.  His favorite pastime is playing with squeaky toys and basically, playing just about anything with anyone!  His foster mom calls him the perfect little guy (except for his love of chewing flip flops!)….make sure to keep yours off the floor!  He is a puppy after all!! Cooper’s must have's are a home with a playful dog to keep him company and a secure yard where he can run and play to his heart’s content. He has a sense of adventure and is a bit of an escape artist, so you’ll need to be extra vigilant with open doors and potential escape routes, as he’s quite adept at climbing out of playpens and over baby gates. As a lively puppy, he would thrive in a home with owners who have the time, patience, and enthusiasm for the fun and challenges of a new adventure! Ready to add this adorable bundle of energy to your family? Cooper is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400.00. If you’re interested in giving Cooper his forever home, please visit our website at https://pwrescue.org and click on the "Adopt" button to complete an application.  Pathways Home Animal Rescue October 18, 2024, 10:28 pm
