Story
We adopted Cooper from an animal rescue when he was a puppy. He came all the over from Texas! He is such a sweet boy he loves to run around the backyard and sunbathe. He is easily excitable but also loves to relax and snuggle with you. We unfortunately have to rehome him due to his aggression towards our young daughter. He has bitten her once before and he snarls at her if she gets too close to him. We have had pet sitters watch him when we are gone and he does well with older children or teenagers. He needs to be in a home where there is no small children. He gets along with our other dog but he does not like groups of dogs such as a doggie daycare. He has food aggression towards other dogs. He has not shown aggression towards cats but he gets fixated on them and chases them. He would likely do better in a house without other animals. He also has hypothyroidism so he will need to be on thyroid medication for the rest of his life.

Story
Air Force is a gorgeous 2 year old shepherd mix who weighs 65 lbs. He is energetic and loves to play. He will even play ball with himself! Air Force gets along with dogs. Because of his high energy level the best match would be another dog who loves to play. He enjoys laying with cats but does on occasion chase them. He is housebroken and crate trained. Air Force has never lived with children, so would be best in a home with adults or teenagers. Please apply at poetanimalrescue.org if you are interested in providing an active, loving, forever home to this beautiful boy.

Story
Meet Roxanne: A Special Soul in Search of a Loving Home A beautiful female pit mix with a unique story to tell. Roxie's journey began three years ago when she was found, tied to a fence, left with a past we can only imagine. Today, she's 5 years old, 57 lbs, and patiently waiting for her forever family. Roxanne has come a long way, but she does have some "stranger danger" tendencies, and trust doesn't come easy. We've been diligently working with her, but it's been a slow process. To ensure Roxie finds the perfect home, we're looking for a special adopter—someone who understands the value of patience, love, and structure. Roxie thrives with proper introductions to dogs and would be best suited to a quiet household with no kids. Here's what makes Roxanne truly special: She's a clever girl who knows commands like "stay," "sit," and "OK" as her release cue from a sitting position. Roxie walks beautifully on a leash and adores car rides. She has a zest for playtime, loves her toys, and enjoys going on adventurous walks. Roxanne has been waiting for her forever home for far too long, and we're committed to helping her find it. We're even willing to cover training expenses once she's in a permanent home because we believe in her potential. If you think you're the patient and loving soul Roxie needs, please consider filling out an application to make her a part of your life. Together, we can show Roxanne that she's truly the best girl ever! http://providingforpaws.org/adoption-and-foster-forms.html

At approximately 2-3 years old, Red is in the prime of his life. He's not just a pretty face; he's UTD on all vaccines and has been neutered, so he's all set to be your loyal companion. Red's happiness is contagious, and his sweet and lovable nature makes him the ultimate cuddle buddy. He thrives on affection and can't wait to snuggle up with you after a day of fun. This smart pup is already a master of some commands like sit, paw, down, and stay. He's both house and crate trained, so you can expect a smooth transition when he joins your family. Red is a fan of outdoor adventures too! He loves playing in the yard, fetching his favorite balls, going for long walks, and even enjoying a dip in his little pool. He's the sweetest boy, and while he hasn't had the chance to live with other pets, he adores the neighbor dogs, showcasing his friendly and social nature. Are you ready to offer Red the loving forever home he deserves?
