My story

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

NEEDS FOSTER CARE. Hi guys! My name is Pickles! I am so adorable, your heart is just gonna melt when we meet. I am super friendly, fun-loving and playful. I love toys of all kinds. Nylabones and tennis balls are my favorites! When I'm not tossing around a toy, I am cuddling with my people. I love to lounge with the hoomans, soaking up scritches, pets and snuggles. I am funny and affectionate. I make people smile every day. I am crate trained and I do well with lots of enrichment and puzzle toys. I love having a routine and knowing what's expected of me. I like to be a constant companion and I ride well in the car in case we wanna go somewhere together. I am housetrained. Other than my habit of barking at and chasing cats, I am a really good boy who just wants someone to love for life. I love playing with other dogs, all day long. But I don't like to share my toys with them so much. I am smart and I know lots of commands, like sit, stay, watch me, come and speak. I have a curious, outgoing personality. I am so happy now - all I need is a home and a forever family! A little history on me ... I was hit by a car before being rescued by PFL. But they got me the surgery I needed and I'm doing great! My doctor wants me to get lots of exercise and be treated like a normal dog. I need leash walks and play. I hope someone falls in love with me like I will with them. I just want a best friend for life! Could that be you? 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.

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.
