My story

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

FOSTER ME! Hi guys, Gordo here! I am a sweet, friendly boy who loves all the people and who gets along well with other dogs. I like having friends. I like to play and to go for car rides. Taking walks and lounging in the sunshine are a few of my favorites. Snoozing in my dog bed makes me super happy too. I am a little on the skinny side, but with TLC and healthy, yummy food, I'll be back to a healthy weight soon. Check out the photos of my FREEDOM RIDE from the overflowing shelter. Sadly, I'm just on my way to a boarding kennel, trading one cage for another, but at least I am safe. Now I need a loving foster care home or, better yet, a forever home! I am a really good boy and I just know that a very lucky someone is going to be soooo happy to add me to their family!

If you choose to foster me, the rescue provides all my medical care and all my supplies, like food, treats, crate, bedding, treats, toys, harness, collar, leash, treats, dishes - everything we need, but especially treats. The rescue will even send over our certified trainer so we can learn together. The more I know, the more adoptable I am! Adoption fee: $80. 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.
