Hi guys! Dobby the house elf here! I am a 5-year-old, neutered male dog who weighs 26 lbs. I am adorable, but don't let the cuteness fool you. I can give small dog attitude when I want. I need a quiet, calm home with people who will give me time to warm up, bond and trust. Losing my previous home and family was rough on me. I need patient people with no little kids. I am doing better with dogs in my foster care home, but I'm not wild about them. I like all the attendtion for myself. I have become besties with my human foster mom. She gives me fun toys and puzzles where I have to search for treats. I like it. I am housetrained. I am smart and I am ready for my forever home. I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on my vaccines. Please apply today! 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.
