Story
Meet Raven! This pretty girl is a 3 year old Pitbull mix. She was adopted from here as a puppy but sadly, she was returned recently for not getting along with the cat in the home. Raven is the happiest girl! She is content and happy no matter what she is doing. Whether she is snuggled up in her bed with her favorite toy or playing in the play yard, she is always happy. She also loves to share her toys and will bring it to you. Raven is well mannered but needs to work on her jumping a little bit. She also keeps her kennel very clean. We are unsure how she is with other dogs but all dogs in the home will need to be present to meet her. She can’t be in a home with cats. Raven will be available for adoption tomorrow at 12pm and is eager to meet you.

Story
Dusty was found in horrible condition while at a neighboring animal control where he completed his stray hold. An emergency grooming took a very long time and was one of the worst cases the groomer every saw. Dusty tolerated the grooming well and was a whole new dog after he was done! Quite the character, Dusty will require a fenced in yard. He is quite active and small dog friendly. We do not recommend small children. As a 1 yr. old dog, we are looking for a young family for Dusty to grow up with. Dusty is pad trained and partially house trained.Please submit an application at pawshs.org and NOT a Petfinder inquiry as they may not be answered due to the volume of these inquiries received.
