Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Paul, a pint sized beagle mix, knows all about new beginnings! Paul came to MAS in pretty rough shape. He had tick-bourne illness, several infections, and a congenital defect that required surgery. Paul is continuing to recover with his foster and will be looking for his furever family soon! Here's what his foster originally had to say:
“Paul is estimated to be about two years old and is with me via MAS Rescue. He’s positive for anaplasma and lyme disease, and has luxating patella on his left rear leg. He was a bit of a chonky boy, so we have been working on losing weight and are currently treating infections of the ears, eyes and nether regions. Paul was very shut down at first, but is peeling away layers like an onion. He’s become quite the affectionate and playful boy… a little too playful for Dixie and the cats at times, but they have been very tolerant considering. He would like a canine friend of similar size and/or a playful cat who doesn’t shy away from a boisterous bark. Paul is also loves to explore, and does nothing quietly so is a constant source of entertainment.”
She recently reported that Paul's surgery for an elongated soft palate, his congenital defect, was a success and he no longer has to gasp for air, although he does still snort a bit. She also wants potential adopters to know that Paul is good with dogs and cats, but may be annoying for some cats. He wants to play and he thinks they feel the same. He is treat motivated for sure. He now knows sit. And house training is a work in progress
If interested in adopting, please visit www.masrescue.org and click on "Adopt Here". Beginning June 30th, 2017, MAS Rescue will charge a $10 non refundable administrative application processing fee. 100% of this fee will be for our rescued animals in need. To be clear: 1. No dog application will be processed until the $10 fee is paid via PayPal link on our website: http://www.masrescue.org/helpus.html.
2. The $10 is non refundable. Should you be approved and adopt an animal through MAS Rescue, you will receive a $10 credit to your adoption fee.
3. Paying the application fee is in no way a guarantee that you will be approved to adopt an animal through MAS Rescue. All of the same standards in processing applications still apply. See our policies and procedures: http://www.masrescue.org/pnp.html
4. By submitting an application and paying the $10 application fee, you agree to the terms listed above. If you do not adopt through MAS Rescue or your application is rejected, this serves as your notice of the application fee policy. The Adoption Fee is $300.00. For senior dogs (small dogs 9 and over and medium and large dogs 6 and over), adoption fee is $250. Please Note: 100% of all the adoption fees collected are used to care for the animals, and pay our ever increasing vet bill. We appreciate your interest in adopting from a rescue organization. We understand the desire to meet our "cuties" as soon as possible, but because we operate entirely out of foster homes, we need to limit visitation to approved applicants only. Once your completed application is submitted by you and approved by MASR, we will be glad to schedule your visit. This dog has been examined by our vet, spayed or neutered (if not previously done), vaccinations updated, heartworm negative, and has been microchipped. Breed Selection is 'Best Efforts' given by shelter staff, veterinarians and rescue volunteers. NO guarantees are implied. We do not guarantee housebreaking. Consistency and patience are key! Dogs benefit greatly from Obedience Training - and we encourage you to check out http://www.pupsdogobediencetraining.com/ . They offer a great discount for training of dogs coming from MAS Rescue! Please note that small breeds are not well designed for families with young children as everything about them is more delicate and will require careful handling. Please be sure you have the TIME to have a dog. Please be aware that it is the opinion of this rescue group, in conjunction with dog behaviorists, that a young puppy benefits greatly with proper socialization. We will only place puppies in homes where they have the opportunity to be with someone all day, travel to work, or have special arrangements, such as Puppy Day Care, Dog Walker, etc. Remember adoption is a commitment for the lifetime of your new furry friend; dogs could live 15 years or more!!
