My story

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

HELLO MY NAME IS DEAN! And I am just a puppy with a puppy face and puppy energy and puppy knuckle-headedness. And I admit, getting hit by a car wasn’t my best idea. Luckily, some people came to my rescue right away and got me to a vet. My leg was severely injured, but the Rescue raised the money needed for my surgery. I am now a healthy, three-legged pup who feels great! So after all of that, from now on, I am gonna stick to chasing squirrels in the yard, not in the road. More about me: I love people! Hoomans are the bestest. They give me yummy treats and food. They are so kind to me and give me pets and love. I am often told that I am a good boy. One of my rescue hoomans even took me to a park for some sniffs the other day and I had such a great time! I love leisurely walks, nose to the ground, soaking up all the info. If you're looking for a younger pup, I'm your guy. Please give me a chance and 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.

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.

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.
