Story
Do you think that you would love being "hugged" by a 55 pound pittie? Do you like having a lap dog? Then S'mores is the dog for you. Hie is a four year old pittle who will be your constant companion. He loves playing outside and catching balls. He does get the "zoomies" but he is also content being a lap dog. He loves his person and will be your best friend forever. He takes a little time to warm up to strangers, but once he knows you, be prepared for some kisses. He loves to cuddle at bedtime and will get on your shoulder and give you a hug. Once he has decided the hug is done, he curls up and is asleep the rest of the night. He can be left alone, but does like moving your shoes. He is potty and crate trained, neutered, vaccinated and chipped. He doesn't do well with cats. He’s available for adoption through Mending Hearts Rescue.

Story
The incredible Venus is available for adoption! She’s new as a shelter transfer. She’s got a lot of play in her. She must have lived under a deck for her baby puppy months because she still thinks she needs to go hide there. She needs someone she can trust to show her how wonderful house life really is! She loves to be pet. She loves toys and other dogs! Does well with cats! She’s very well rounded and she can get better! Venus is a 6 month old, female, mixed breed. Any guesses on her mix? Could you be her person?!?!? All dogs are brought current on their vaccinations up to the point of adoption. Parasite protection is also done with dewormings, flea/tick prevention application, and heartworm prevention. If old enough a heartworm test is done. The spay/neuter and microchip are included in the adoption fee. All our dogs go to their new homes with their collar/leash, dog bed, favorite toy(s), bowls, and some food to acclimate them. For adoption consideration, please fill out an application from our website at (www.causeforpaws.net) Adoption fee is $350 donation. Please also read about our adoption process and requirements on the website. For the safety and convenience of our foster homes and their orphans, we will only consider applicants that are within a 100 mile adoption radius.

Name: GemmaSpecies: DogBreed: Pitbull Husky MixAge: 6 years oldBio:Meet Gemma, a unique and beautiful Pitbull Husky mix with a personality as striking as her appearance. At 6 years old, Gemma is a mature and experienced companion looking for a special home that can provide her with the understanding and care she needs.Gemma is an independent and loyal dog who forms deep bonds with the people she knows and trusts. While she may be cautious around strangers, once she warms up to you, she'll shower you with love and affection. Gemma's adopter should be patient and willing to invest time in building a strong bond with her.Due to her previous experiences, Gemma is not comfortable around children and is not suitable for a home with young kids. Additionally, she does not get along well with other dogs or cats, so a pet-free environment would be ideal for her.Gemma enjoys going for walks and exploring the world around her. Daily exercise and mental stimulation are important for her overall well-being. She is known to have some anxiety issues, so a calm and stable home environment with a consistent routine will help her feel secure and content.Her housetraining is a work in progress, but with patient and consistent training from her adopter, Gemma is eager to learn and improve her skills. Positive reinforcement and reward-based training methods will be most effective for her.One of Gemma's favorite activities is going for car rides. She finds comfort in the car and enjoys the sights and sounds of the outside world passing by.To ensure Gemma's continued growth and well-being, an experienced adopter who understands her breed mix and has knowledge of working with dogs with behavioral challenges would be the best match for her. A calm and structured home environment with a dedicated and patient adopter will provide Gemma with the love, support, and guidance she needs to thrive.If you're ready to open your heart and home to a loyal and unique companion, Gemma is waiting to meet you.

Story
Tucker has a big heart and is a protector at his core. Tucker loves to play...but plays rough! Therefore, we recommend a home without kids or cats. He can be hot and cold with other dogs, so it's probably best he be the solo dog also. Tucker absolutely adores women and would love the opportunity to be her knight in shining armor. If you're looking to give this guy a second chance, he's waiting for you and the chance to love again!Ask about him today

He is looking for guidance and help to be the mature well behaved dog he knows he can be. A home with no little kids would be best. Rudy can be good with other dogs but is kind of a brute.
