Story
Name:  Daisy Age: Spunky Senior Weight: 14 lbs Adoption Fee: $250.00 Good with Dogs?  Yes, but bossy so she’d be best as an only dog.  Good with cats?  She can be bossy with them so it’s best she doesn’t live with them. She can be around them safely for short visits.    Miss Daisy aka Daisy Dukes or Dukes, is  looking for her forever home.    She’s a spunky senior Rat Terrier with lots of life and  love left to give. Daisy loves people and she’d be a  perfect fit for someone who is retired but still active, or someone who works from home, enjoys daily walks  and would like to have a companion to join them. If  she gets to be a lap dog, even better. In a perfect  world, she’ll be showered with all of the attention and  not have to share it with other pets.    She is crate trained but, in all honesty, she doesn’t  love it. Daisy is fine being left loose in the home when  no one is there but she’s currently crated in her foster  home as she does tend to be a little bossy with the  other dogs at times.    Daisy likes meeting new people and enjoys car rides,  so if you like to go camping or travel around in an RV,  she’d be a great companion for you.    While she is an older girl, you wouldn’t know it by the  way she acts. She’s had a senior blood panel done  (she looks great!), a dental, she’s spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested  and micro chipped.    Don’t miss out on a wonderful new companion and get  your applications in now.    Adoption Process: Step 1:     Complete a "no obligation" application located on our website at pawprintsnky.com under the applications tab. Step 2:     PawPrints will review the application, verifying Vet and personal references as well as landlord requirements/restrictions (if applicable) Step 3:     IF your application is approved, we will call you to schedule a meet and greet for you to meet the pet. &#226&#128&#139Step 4:    If the meet and greet goes well, we will schedule the home visit.          March 16, 2026, 12:18 am

,Harley's Story Meet Harley, a gentle and loving senior dog, 19 lbs., who is looking for his forever home. Despite facing challenges as a blind and hard of hearing pup, Harley is a testament to resilience and an embodiment of unconditional love. Harley was found in a field, attacked by something, with individuals suggested shooting him!! We were called and went and rescued this sweetheart. Vetted him and he is healing from his injuries. He had bloodwork and he was slightly anemic, little kidney disease, prostate is huge, hoping it shrinks with neutering. Dental and neutering is scheduled for Aug 27th. With a heart as big as his tail wag, he is eager to shower his new family with kisses and affection. Harley is an incredibly smart boy who is sure to charm his way into your heart. He is house-trained and well-mannered, never causing a fuss or making a sound. He just wants to be surrounded by love and warmth in a stable environment. Imagine coming home to his enthusiastic tail wags and getting covered in kisses it's the best feeling in the world! Harley would thrive with a retired couple who can offer him the attention, care, and stability he needs. He prefers a quiet home without other pets, as he tends to get excited and following them around and gets in their space! With his gentle spirit and loving nature, Harley is the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal and devoted friend. If you're seeking a calm and affectionate addition to your family, look no further than Harley. He is ready to leave his difficult past behind and embark on a new journey filled with love and happiness. Could you be the one to show him what a perfect life feels like?
