Adoption Update - Annabelle

The Belle has left the building, and with a great mom and siblings to boot!

Annabelle, now known as Sydney, has a sister and brother who are beautiful Shelties, and some feline siblings as well. Sydney's mom reports that our spoiled little girl is finally eating better (she experienced a poor appetite at the shelter), but wants to be fed like a true princess: from a spoon!

Hugs to you, Princess Sydney!

Colby

Why is it that Pomeranians always look like they're smiling? I mean, doesn't this look like a happy dog?

Well, Colby is a happy dog! He's happy in your lap, near your side, in your lap, on a walk, in your lap - you get the idea, right? He's a friendly, affectionate, and - well - happy little guy.

Colby will be three years old next month. He's been neutered and is up-to-date on his vaccinations. He has tested positive for Lyme, but he's asymptomatic. He was found to be positive during a routine vet visit, and is currently being treated.

The only time Colby isn't happy is when he has to share food and treats with another dog. Then, he's very UNhappy, and he shows it, thinking he's as big as any dog in the place!

So, if you're looking for a smiling Pomeranian, Colby might be the guy for you! Just hold the treats until the two of you are alone!

Update - Gracie

Remember this dog, with the sad, dull, and patchy coat? Gracie had lost most of it to flea allergies. It didn't dampen her spirits, but it did take away from the beautiful personality that she has.

Well, Gracie came for a visit this week, and look at her today:

Folks, this luxurious coat is brought to you by love and care! Doesn't she look beautiful!

Adoption Update - Charlie and Oliver

Charlie (left, formerly known as Jada) was adopted from PAWS in 2004 as a 10-week old puppy, and Oliver (right, formerly known as Padre) was adopted last month when he was 3 1/2 months old.

Charlie and Oliver have become fast friends and can't play together enough! This picture was hard to get - there aren't many moments when they're actually sitting still!

Buster, the Parson Russell in the second picture, was adopted in 1999 from Russell Rescue. He likes to get in on the action, too!

Annabelle

Annabelle is a teacup Australian Shepherd who was given up by her owner.

This vociferous young lady weighs in at just 3 pounds, and is four months old. Full grown, she should weigh about eight pounds.

She has all of the characteristics and tenacity of a full-sized Aussie - the voice and tendency to dominate are definitely there!

She's a lovely little girl, and already has a ton of applications in on her. What would you expect? But I hope people realize that size doesn't matter with this pup; she's a HUGE dog in a tiny body! :)

Al

Meet Al, a cute and happy little terrier mix! He looks to be a Westie mix, and he's got the market cornered on gentlemanly good looks!

Al was given up by his owners because they had to move and they couldn't take them with him.

This little guy seems very sweet, but he's nervous right now as he settles in at the shelter.

He's not a fan of cats but he likes other dogs and has lived with children as young as 9-years-old. He himself is just 2 1/2!

Al has to be neutered before he's placed in a home, and he's up-to-date on all vaccinations.

I think he'd make a nice little companion for someone!

Ziggy

This mushball is almost as sweet as he looks. :0)

A five-month-old AmStaff mix, he's already been in one home, but as he grew, he became a bit much for the dachshund pair he was living with. So his original foster mom decided she should take him back, teach him a few more manners, and find him a more appropriate home (she's one of PAWS's BEST volunteer/staff members!).

Ziggs needs an owner who is experienced with the breed. The perfect owner will be a good doggie leader and provide structure and training to our mushball. Ziggs is highly food-motivated, so training will be that much easier!

Ziggy can live with older, calm, and dominant dogs who will keep him in line and remind him that he's not the boss.

As I said, Ziggs is a mushball and will definitely wiggle his way into your heart! He gives the best kisses and cuddles! Typical Pit Bull - love with fur!

Rochelle

Rochelle is very, very shy with humans but she flourishes when around other dogs. She's not at all aggressive to people; rather, she shrinks away. We've gotten to the point (in just 1 1/2 weeks) where she'll greet me when I walk into her room, which I think is wonderful progress.

Outside with other dogs, she plays just like any dog - running, grabbing toys, play-bowing. It's a beautiful sight! Sometimes I wish they could talk or I could read their minds. I wish I knew what makes her shrink away from people. But I know that the right home - with another dog or two - will bring out the best in this girl!

Rochelle is about five-years-old, spayed, and up-to-date on her vaccinations.

Doc

Doc had a hard start in life. Sick and left to die in a municipal shelter, PAWS pulled this starving puppy and literally saved his life. Now, Doc has gained weight, confidence, and the love of everyone at the shelter.

  

This Boxer/Pit Bull mix is smart as a whip and with obedience training, this energetic pup will be one amazing companion! He also has play pals at PAWS, so we know he gets along with other dogs! 

Doc is about a year old, neutered and up-to-date on all vaccinations.

Bailey

Big, goofy guy, looking to be your only love...

Bailey is a yellow Lab who loves to play ball. And I mean LOVES to play ball! You can toss the ball for hours on end, and he will run to get it, drop it at your feet and look for more. He was brought to PAWS when his owners moved and couldn't take him with them.

The only problem with this perfect fella is that he does not get along with other animals at all. If you can provide a home without animals for this guy, you'll have the undying affection of one great dog!

This four-year-old beauty is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Just add love... and a tennis ball!
