My story

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

Hi guys! My name is Obi and I am the sweetest boy. I am mellow and laid back. I am just under 1 year old and I weigh about 70 lbs. I am a really good boy. I am 100% housetrained and I ride well in the car. I even like to ride in the golf cart. I am crate trained, too, but I don't need it. I love spending time with people. They're so kind. They give me lots of love and pets, belly rubs and ear scritches. I enjoy going for walks and I am doing very well learning not to pull on the leash. I get along great with other dogs too, even the little ones that are smaller than cats. I am a playful boy. I like dog toys and playing with people and other dogs. I am an all-around really well behaved dog who is looking for love and a forever family. I should also mention that I am incredibly handsome. I have unique colors and my fur is so soft and plush. All I need now is humans to love for life! 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.
