Story
Gryphon was recently pulled from a high kill shelter in California, when he had only hours until euthanasia, to save his life. He is an absolute gem and a sweetheart and loves attention and being with people and other dogs. He is very loveable and thinks he is a lapdog. He is a gentle and walks well on the leash. Gryphon looks very much like a Rottweiler/Doberman/Shepherd or Beauceron mix. (A DNA test is pending). Gryphon is a fast learner and is eager to please. He Loooves to play fetch and go on walks - but mostly he loves to cuddle with his people. He is still decompressing from being stray and ending up in a shelter, neutered, boarded, and then transported across the country. So, it is not surprising that he has mild separation anxiety, but he is responding well to training for that. Gryphon is sensitive and smart and needs a family that is kind and loving and continues the things that he loves and uses positive reinforcement training. He is an all-around cuddle bug!

Story
Looking for a home for this guy. My found him about a month ago and he was skinny and covered in ticks. We got him cleaned up, got some weight on him, and got him potty trained. We’re working on basic commands. We have named him Bo, and he knows his name. He loves snuggles and belly rubs, loves being outside but is super calm and chill when he’s in the house. He is not a fan of being on a leash. He gets along well with my dog, which is saying a lot because my dog hates other animals. I cannot keep him. He needs to be in a kennel when home alone and at night because he likes to investigate countertops and steal loaves of bread.

We acquired buck when he was just a few months old as a puppy we’ve had him for a year and a half, but we are no longer able to have him due to circumstances of having to move. He has been around a black lab all of his life, I have never had an issue with him around another animal, but he has not been neutered.

Story
Jet, loving known as Jetter Jetter Jetski, came to PAWS after the person who had him and his brother broke their jaws. Bennie's was a clean break and healed quickly. He is enjoying life with a wonderful mom and dad who love him very much. Unfortunately, Jet's jaw was shattered beyond repair. After many vet visits and consultations, it seemed that the best plan of action was to wait until he was a year old (after all of his growing was complete) and then try to replace the jaw. We had a surgeon lined up and the appointment made but he suddenly decided he did not want to try the procedure. But the good news is that during all of the waiting time, Jet has flourished and grown, despite all of the odds against him. He is a 75 lb, full of life, ready to play, energetic, take on the world, boy! It is now the opinion of the vets that he can live a full and happy life just as he is, without jaw replacement. Yes, he has a disability that requires that he can only eat canned food but that has not stopped him from doing everything that every other dog does. He can tear up stuffed toys with the best of them! He will require a home with someone who can devote the time to making sure he eats only canned food and is never given any hard food or treats that might become lodged and choke him. He will be best in a home with no children. He likes other dogs but tends to play very rough and all out! If you are ready to welcome this very special, precious boy into your home, please go to https://www.pawspaws.org to complete the application. His adoption fee is $200.00.

Sheena

Beagle Labrador Retriever

Female, 3 yrs 5 mos
Anna, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sheena was found on the side of the road. Someone had most likely dumped and then someone hit her and left her. A passerby picked her up and took her to the vet. Luckily her injuries were pretty minor and she recovered quickly. She is an energetic, smart, funny young girl who loves to play. She has not done well with other dogs so far as she plays really rough and can be intimidating! If introduced slowly, she will most likely be fine with dogs around her size. I would not recommend a home with small children since she does tend to play so rough. She is thought to be have been born around December, 2020. She currently weighs about 40 lbs. She is a happy girl who will make you smile with her beautiful happy outlook! She listens well and just wants to please so badly. Her adoption fee is $200. If you are interested, please go to pawspaws.org and complete the application. Once approved, I will contact you to set up a meet and greet so you can come to meet this baby girl! Thanks for your interest!

Story
If you are interested, you MUST complete the application. We will only set up meet and greets with an approved application. Pixie is one of 10 small defenseless little dogs that was dumped in the middle of many many acres of nothing but soybean and corn fields. What a horrible fate for these dear sweet babies. Animal Control was called and they called PAWS to see if we could assist with trying to catch them and take them in. We have spent over two weeks (at the time of this post) and managed to catch 7 of them. We are still working to catch the last two that we can find and have not seen the 10th one since the first day. These babies have been through quite the ordeal and are now ready to go on to homes where they will be loved and doted on. They are all shy at first and definite flight risks so they will not be adopted to homes with children and will require that the adopter have a fenced yard. This beautiful girl, Pixie, is very shy and will take someone with lots of love and patience to win her over. She came around very quickly with me but gets very scared if anything in her environment changes or if she is taken to a new environment (such as the vet). She is a very loving little girl who wants to be loved so badly but just can't forget that humans have not been kind to her. She is still very afraid of fast movements. She will do well with other other dogs as long as they are her size or smaller and allow her to be the boss. She is about 11 lbs and we guestimate that she was born around 07/01/2018. Her adoption fee is $350.
