Story
If you have ANY QUESTIONS or are truly interested in adopting any animal from PAW Animal Shelter Please, fillout an adoption application FIRST!   WE are a high intake No Kill Shelter ran by a staff of 4 and do not always have time to answer every question asked by so many. If you are a good fit for the animal you are interested in -we will call to speak with you, If we feel you are not a good fit , we will contact you about other pets that may be a good fit for your home. Many people are losing the opportunity to adopt the animal they want because they fail to put in an application and the pet was adopted before we could answer your email. .If you have applied for an animal in our facility and have not received a response within 7 days, PLEASE call or contact us again. Though we do our best in trying to answer all emails in a timely manner, sometimes things get away from us, get lost or misplaced. It is never our intention to ignore a request about an adoptable animal in our facility. Sandy Brown, Director, PAW Animal Shelter 319-372-2274 ##2222036##

Story
Gina, lady! As friendly as retrievers come, Gina is even-tempered, happy-go-lucky, and as family friendly as a 30 pounder can be! This girl is a huge people-pleaser, often doing anything and everything to be called a "Good Girl", given a treat, or tossed a ball. She doesn't mind much either, she loves other dogs, kids, people, she loves all! Gina has an amazing nature to her, just the perfect family dog; if she's given just one thing to do, she is happy as can be. She truly thrives with direction, and enjoys obeying, just as retrievers were meant to be. Honestly, Gina is such a big baby, a fly could probably tell her what to do! Her energy level is just perfect for a dog wanting to please, she's always excited to learn something new, and always down for some amazing scratches and cuddles. Did I mention she's a HUGE kisser? That is one definite thing about this girl, she shows all the affection she can, and is an absolute love bug! Often, while we let Gina explore the lobby, she spends most of her time either following one of us around, or laying contently at our feet as we work. While she's been with us, she's not minded her crate much at all, either, in fact, it seems like she enjoys having her own little place to go. We know Gina will do amazingly in just about any home, willing to give her some structure, and direction a typical 6 month old pup looks for!

Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the adoption application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This cute little chub drop is Gabby!  Gabby's owner took very good care of her even though she likely fed her too many treats.  Gabby is working on exercise and eating an appropriate portion of lower calorie food so she can get down to a healthier weight.  Gabby is currently about 35 pounds but really should be closer to 25ish pounds.  Gabby is an easy going 8 year old goldendoodle.  She is fine with other dogs and cats.  She rides fine in the car, likes to people watch out the window and was great for her grooming appointment.  She is the kind of dog that will need to see a groomer about every 6-8 weeks so be prepared for that if you are considering adopting her. Ms Gabby is an easy keeper as we say.  She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and freshly groomed.  Her adoption fee is $275.00  December 14, 2024, 5:04 pm

She has consistently started to lose weight and down 10 lbs with 10 to go!! From foster mom: Ellie Mae gets excited to see me when I come home and let her out of her kennel, excited to go outside and run around the fenced-in backyard to clear it of squirrels and rabbits, smelling all the good smells, and laying on her outside bed and watching the world go by. Ellie Mae is a great dog! She loves playing with other dogs, chewing on her Benebones, lying on the couch, and chilling. She is house-trained and will happily go to her kennel in the morning when I leave for work. She sleeps in bed with me and is only kenneled when I leave the house to go to work or run errands. She loves her kennel and is comfortable in it and will gladly go in it any time. She will make a great dog for the right family!! Ideal Home: Some who is who is home more than gone Another medium, mellow dog as a role model Fenced yard Cats unknown Kids – ages 12+ with experience with dogs Energy level is medium as she is still overweight Continue her weight management Continue training Interested in this sweet girl?

Story
- Ruby and Bailey are Bonded Buddies and will be adopted as a pair - Smart girl, knows sit- Prefers to explore and do their own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once they're in a home environment and have had time to decompress - Can do well with dogs, but may do best with a slow introduction- All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for age- The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, and not breed label Primary Color: Tan Weight: 72.5 Age: 2yrs 0mths 4wks
