Dogs
adoptable from Private Individuals
Puppy is a housetrained, spayed, 6 year old, Chow Chow/German
Shepherd mix that loves to
be petted and likes a quiet household. She will "hug" you
around the waist, and she sits up very pretty.
She was my Dad`s dog. He recently passed away.
Since
I already have several pets of my own I
will need to find a new home for her soon.
Puppy is somewhat protective but is very sweet
and loving
with "her" people.
She is reserved with strangers. Once she gets
to know you, and if you are nice, she will
want to be friends. She is fine with older children.
She is up to date with her shots and is looking
for a kind and loving, but firm, person to be her
special someone.
If
you are interested in adopting, please contact:

Don't let this happen to you! Have a plan
ready in case you are unable to care for your pet!
Given the millions of pets that are put to sleep
each year in our nation's pounds and humane societies,
it is unlikely your pet will enjoy the life you
promised them the day you took them home if you
don't have a plan ready.
Your pet trusts in you, so make sure there is a friend or relative that is willing
to care for your pet in the event you no longer can. You owe it to your pet.
You also owe it to yourself to have the peace of mind that your pet will be well
taken care of.

| Logan is
a neutered, 2 year old, male. He is up-to-date on
his shots and gets along well with
other dogs, cats, and older kids. He can be wary
of strangers but, given time and patience, will trust
anyone. Logan is affectionate with his owners and
others he has
learned to trust. Logan loves to play ball and is
looking for an active home that can exercise him
regularly.

in adopting, please contact:

Scrappy is
a young German Shepherd mix pup that is owned
by a family that can not care for her properly.
The owners are willing to let their neighbor,
(who paid to have Scrappy spayed and vetted),
rehome her into a family that can better afford
to care for her.
Scrappy is the only surviving pup of a litter
her mom, Zoe, had this year. The neighbor
also took Scrappy's mom (a German Shepherd
mix) to the vet and had her spayed and vetted
too. Mom, Zoe, has found a home. Scrappy
needs one now too!
Scrappy is living as an outside dog at
her owner's home. The neighbor would like
to find Scrappy a doting home soon. |

Don't take on more pets than
you can handle! Spay
or neuter your pet! A litter is much more costly
to you and society than a spay—especially
when low-cost or no-cost spay/neuters are available.
Millions of pets are put to sleep in our nation's
pounds and humane societies each year, so if you
don't spay your pet, you are contributing to the
throw-away
pet population. Even if you find homes for all
those puppies, most of them, may end up in a pound
or humane society within of first several years
of life.
Contact your local humane organization
or email this rescue
at
for information
about low-cost
or no-cost
spay/neuter programs in your area. Save lives by
not creating more. |
