Story
We purchased Freya from a friend. Their huskies had puppies. Freya is 2 years old and is crate trained. She was the runt of the litter and is smaller than average huskies. She is playful and great/ gentle with kids. She has been an indoor dog, but has been outside for about a year. We are looking for a home where she will get the attention she deserves and will stay loved.

Story
🐾Dasher has been working with our friends at Perfect Pet. 🐾He is a very friendly boy who knows his basic obedience commands like walking nicely on a leash, sit, down, come, and place. He is muzzle trained. Dasher would prefer a home by himself but would be okay to go to a home with a calm housemate through proper introduction and structured playtimes. Pushy or ill mannered dogs are a big trigger for him. He does great with people and loves to give snuggles and kisses as well as going for joy rides in the car. When he’s outside he loves to play ball, go on walks and run. When he’s inside he loves to lounge on the couch ready to cuddle. Dasher’s not a big barker either and keeps quiet most of the time. His new owners will need to be willing to put time into continuing his training and learning the commands he knows. Perfect Pet will do free lessons with his adoptive owners so you can learn everything this smart boy knows!Dasher would prefer a fenced in yard and a big comfy couch to lounge. ❤️He has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. If you are interested in adopting Dasher, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.

Wiser… Look at this lovable guy! Wiser is an almost 5 years old terrier mix. He weighs about 70 lbs, is up to date on vaccines, is heartworm negative on heartworm prevention and is neutered. Wiser is a BIG time cuddle bug and loves to play. If he doesn’t have any furry friends to keep him company he will politely bring you one of his favorite toys to play with. He does great with other dogs big and small. A home without a cat would be best and a fenced in yard would be preferred.

Story
Hi! My name is Fluffy, but my foster parents call me Fox. I am a good little dog, weighing in at 27lbs at 9 months old. I love cuddles and naps on my humans. I am a huge fan of the AC and cold floor when it’s toasty outside. I get along well with dogs, but I LOVE wrestling with my foster mom’s kitty. I aim to please and have been so good with learning manners. I know sit, and come to “Fox” being called. I am a sensitive boy and have shown some separation anxiety in my foster home. Due to this I would prefer to be adopted to a family where someone is home a large percentage of the time. I am potty trained, but I must stay on a schedule. Sometimes I get over stimulated/excited and urinate, so keeping me on a schedule is a must. I also appreciate not being leaned over and baby talked. Keep things calm with me and I can stay calm. My foster parents are working on crate training me, but that has been an adjustment. I love my people so much and just want to be with them all the time. Continuing my crate training will be greatly beneficial to me the entirety of my life. I will be best suited in a home with a dog or cat friend and fenced in yard. No young children please, they can be a bit too much for me. I do well around large livestock and do well in the car. My favorite thing is definitely naps on my human though. I am UTD on all vaccines, microchipped, on heartworm prevention, neutered, and I also had my umbilical hernia repaired. If you’ve gotten this far, head on over to the adoption application and fill it out. I can’t wait to meet you!If you are interested in adopting Fluffy please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered.
