My story

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

Hi new friend!
My name is APOLLO and I have been waiting to met you.
I am about 1-2 years old and weigh 55 lbs. I was found as a stray with my brother Marty who is also looking for a home. He is staying with me at the rescue.
I am great with all other dogs and I really like kids as well!
I met some little kids recently a 7 year old little girl and her 3 year old brother. I was very gentle with them and I knew not to jump up to greet them.
That's because I have a very good temperament and I easily adjust to new people, other dogs and environments. I would love a chance to met you!
My rescue will allow you to "foster" me for 2 weeks before you make a decision to adopt me, this way there is no financial commitment for you in case I'm not a good fit. But I promise you I will be a good boy so you will want to keep me for sure!!
If you are looking for 2 dogs maybe my brother MARTY can come with me to your house? If you already have another friend for me that's ok I will be a great companion for him or her for sure!
Please read the guidelines below, provided by my rescue!

If you are interested in adopting you must be available and open to a home check, provide vet references (proof that you keep your other pets up to date on all shots, prevention meds and yearly wellness checks, and that other pets in home are neutered or spayed)
The adoption fee for this dog is $250
PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT MEET REQUIREMENTS!
Apply at pawsfurrecovery.org
We look forward to receiving your application and will process it within 3 days.
If you meet requirements we will call you.
Thanks for your interest in this amazing rescue dog!

Additional adoption info

Thank you for considering the adoption of a rescue. Before you decide to adopt a pet, please consider the effort and funds necessary to properly maintain an animal. Responsible pet ownership requires a commitment to provide care and companionship for the life of the animal. The decision to adopt a pet is an important one. In order to ensure that you and your pet will be happy for years to come, we need to take time to discuss your animal and your individual needs and personality traits. Please take a few moments to carefully read and complete this questionnaire. Please note there are no wrong answers, but honesty is the best answer for all involved. This is to ensure that the dog you are interested in is a good fit for you and your family.

Please note: Completion of this application does not guarantee adoption. If you do not own your own home - Paws Fur Recovery will need to contact your landlord or HOA to verify that you are allowed to have pets. We will also need to perform an in-person house check to verify that your home is suitable for pets (enough space, fenced in yard, etc). We will need to meet all residents of your home, including any adults, children, pets both inside & out - to make sure your home is suitable for the dog you are seeking to adopt. This is not an exhaustive list of requirements. Every dog's situation is different and every adoption will be handled on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of a Paws Fur Recovery representative.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate dogs stuck in high kill shelters that are at risk of euthanasia. At the same time we strive to empower our volunteers who are all recovering addicts and alcoholics.

Paws Fur Recovery aims to promote these benefits for our dogs and volunteers:

○ Encourages positive change and a sense of purpose
○ Increases self-esteem.
○ Teaches trust again
○ Promotes responsibility and accountability
○ Decreases anxiety and depression in both the addict and the dog
○ Provides socialization for both the addict and the dog
○ Creates a symbiotic relationship of unconditional love and acceptance

Certain dogs at the shelter have stories that every recovering addict knows all too well: They have been abandoned, alone, afraid, abused, unwanted and misunderstood. They are powerless over their current circumstances and must rely on a power greater than themselves to help them.

We can relate, and we are here to help. We know firsthand about the gift of a second chance. We are passionate about rescuing these forgotten dogs. We help them recover and find their way to homes where they will finally know what it’s like to feel safe and loved.
