Story
Brad Pitt!    DOB: 9/2019     Weight: 45-50lbs   Good old Brad Pitt still waits in the shelter kennels for his furever home! Brad was originally in foster where we discovered he is house trained. He doesn’t like being crated though, and will protest by peeing all over it, so leaving him in a room with toys while gone is preferred. He has a fair amount of energy and needs regular walks and playtime throughout the week. No food or toy aggression. He knows how to sit and will take handouts nicely. He walks well on the leash and loves rolling in dirt, leaves, and fresh cut grass whenever he can. He will soak up any attention you’ll offer. Brad does need to be an only dog and he’s not the biggest fan of cats either. Kids 12+ are recommended too. He’s a sweet, loving guy, but gets carried away with loving on you. Sometimes he gets so happy and excited that he doesn’t want you to stop and will grab at your shoes. Just needs to learn when enough is enough.  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. If interested in adopting him please fill out an application on our NEW website. https://www.newliferescues.org . If you have issues, send us a message through our Facebook. Came to the shelter 3/2021. ***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
Chico!    DOB: 10/2019    Weight: 65lbs   He looks older, but shocker, he’s only about 4 years old! Chico is a chunky, bouncy, loving dude. He’s well mannered and loves attention. Will try to crawl right up on your lap if you let him. He’s house trained and keeps a clean kennel. He loves his people and will be right up your butt if he knows you have food. He doesn’t care for cats or small dogs. He’s been ok with dogs around his size, though he’s not big into playing with others. He enjoys just wandering around and laying in the sun when he’s outside. The highlight of his shelter life is taking car rides to get ice cream!  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.

Story
Oreo!     DOB: 6/2022    Weight: will be 60lbs ish     Oreo is a young lab mix who has really come out of her shell in the last several months. She’s a people dog for sure! ALWAYS wants to be with someone. Following you, laying beside you, or sitting right on your lap. She loves food and treats so teaching her things is a lot easier. While she‘s ok with cats, she likes to be the boss dog. She has walked and played with other dogs, but she’s not too happy sharing a home with others after awhile. Oreo is house trained but does not care for the crate too much. She is fine to be left out of it when gone though. Oreo is pretty well mannered, knows some basic commands too. She‘s always down for a long car ride or snuggling up for a movie. Oreo has been to doggie daycare and enjoys it as well!  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.

Story
Shelby is a very sweet girl that is looking for her furever home! She originally came to us as a stray puppy and unfortunately after being adopted out she was found as a stray later again and loaded with heartworms. A gracious foster took her in and fundraised with us to completely treat her and get her back to being 1000% healthy and happy again! She has been with the foster and she has nothing but great things to say about miss Shelby! She gets along phenomenal with young kids and loves to play with her other dogs! Shelby gets along well with every male dog she meets but can sometimes be selective with other female dogs. Miss Shelby is not a cat lover so would do best in a home without them. Walks great on a leash and loves outdoor time! Would be a great dog to take camping, hiking, running, etc. Shelby is also not opposed to being a lazy couch potato with her family! She loves to watch movies with you and will stayed glued to the TV! She also LOVES car rides! She also loves to go out in public and thinks every single person alive wants to pet and cuddle her! She is extremely well trained including all her basic commands, kennel training and house training! Spayed, HW tested negative, Rabies vaccinated and chipped already! Her adoption fee is $250! Please call 618-833-4915. Thank you! Are you interested in adopting this pet? Please click here: https://form.jotform.com/210158338747157 and fill out an application.
