Story
Meet Wheeler! Are you looking for a sweet boy that is shy at first but warms up nicely? At 1.5 years old and 45lbs... he is a sweet boy that gets a long with young kids and adults! Wheeler would love to be your walking partner, or even your jogging partner! He's active if you are active! He's only 1.5 years old but does a great job of "fitting in to his environment! We are truly amazed at his ability to adapt! Once you take this handsome guy home, that initial shyness melts away and his amazing personality shines through! PAWS encourages interested adopters to explore our Foster to Adopt program! Apply to adopt wheeler and take him home for a week or so to see how he fits in with your life and how you fit in with his! An ideal home would be a bit "slower moving since he's used to living with Seniors! Although at 1.5 years old.., Wheeler needs to be active so walking, hiking, jogging etc.. would be up his alley! He hasn't really learned how to be a young boy! If you have other dogs in your home, a meet and greet is always necessary. (No Cats due to prey drive) Other than that.. if you would like to foster to adopt wheeler, please go to pawshancock.org and complete an adoption application! We will be in touch!

Story
Danny Lee is a whippet mix. He came to us as a crisis response foster when he and his human were living outside in freezing weather. Danny loves other dogs, but despite his petite size is a strong and avid wrestling champion. He does best with dogs that have similar play styles and are good dog communicators. Danny has done really well on housebreaking, but does sometimes backslide when stressed. He needs a home that has a schedule/routine and is ok working with him while he learns he’s safe and home. He’s had a tough background and come so far - and is a complete love. He likes his toys, and giving kisses. He’s one of the fastest runners we’ve seen, and can also jump high. When he’s all done playing likes to sit directly at your side or in your lap. When Danny is excited you’re home, and is ready to go out, he is vocal. He would prefer a family who will make sure his exercise and socializing needs are met, and that has another dog, or will consider adopting him with his best friend. They should be patient and love active and intelligent dogs that need the mind worked with the body. He’s been around all people, all ages, and has done well. We do not know about cats but do not recommend.

Story
Hi there! My name is Georgie GIrl! I am a young, maybe around a year or so, female Whippet/Hound mix. I only weigh about 33 lb. I had to put on weight when my foster mom got me from the shelter. I was skin and bones. I guess wherever I came from originally must have pretty much starved me. I am not afraid of people so I don't think I was abused. Just neglected which is bad enough. I am a happy little girl. I love other dogs and people. My foster mom loves to watch me run around the back yard like a race horse. I fly! That is why she thinks I may have Whippet in me. also because I am small. I do have some kind of coonhound or hound in me. I have that hound dog bark. I am crate trained. I am not totally house broke but close. I love food and would eat all day if I could. I think that is because I was so starved as a puppy. I still act a lot like a puppy in that I can get into mischief if you leave your shoes or something laying about.. I would be good around older kids.,\. The reason I say that is because I am so food motivated, and treat motivated, I might grab a cookie or something out of a toddlers hand. That wouldn't be good. So I would do best with either no kids or older kids. I am very friendly and affectionate. I should have a fenced in yard to run in. I have a wonderful nature. I hope if you like hound dogs, you will consider me to be your new best friend. Here is something my foster mom has discovered about me. I can run as fast as the wind. My foster mom thinks I would make a great FASTCAT contender. If you know what this sport is, it is a contest to record how fast I would run chasing a lure. It's a fun event. If anyone knows what I am talking about and always thought it would be a fun thing to do with their dog.....consider me! Love and little kisses, Georgie Girl xoxox
