My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing the man, the myth, the legend … ACE! This happy boy has several nicknames, including "Ace of Base," "Ace Freely" and "Mr. I.P. Freely," which he doesn’t respond to now that he consistently goes potty outside. Ace is about 9 months old and currently weighs about 50 pounds. This fuzzy ball of love has been doing great with his foster family, but is now looking for his forever home. Ace LOVES other dogs and will be happiest in a home with other dogs who like to play. Ace also enjoys the comforts of a cozy bed and playing with toys. Ace is very afraid of leashes and will do best in a fenced yard. In foster care, Ace loves playing with canine friend Nola, cuddling with his humans on the sofa or on the bed at night and anything food related. He is a very smart guy. Ace learned to sit incredibly quickly at his foster home and will now sit for treats and for his meals. He is a polite young man with a contagious smile and always wagging tail. Ace is a bright light at the end of a rough day. He will greet you with an upbeat attitude and can quickly lighten the day's load. And, did you hear, he also has learned to go potty outside! Ace will need a lot of exercise and enrichment during the day to avoid getting into trouble, which is all about boredom, like grabbing that shoe you forgot to put away or helping you clean up by stealing a napkin that was on the floor. He will also need slow introductions to new people, but when done right, he warms up to humans and is a total love-bug! Apply today! Adoption fee: $80. Adopt a pair: $120. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 30 days of free pet insurance, one session with a certified behavior trainer and microchip.

Adoption and Foster Care Application


NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.


Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Examples:


Adoption Process:
Complete the application at www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
