Story
Hey there, I'm Zeus, and let me tell you, I'm quite the social butterfly! When I first arrived at the shelter, I greeted everyone with a wagging tail and a big smile-I just love making new friends. I get so close to those friends that when I'm left all alone I get very anxious. I'll do anything I can to get to be with people, and in the past my separation anxiety has led me to breaking doors and jumping fences. I have cleared a 6 foot fence in the past with no issues. This is something that can be managed in a few ways, be it a home where people are there often, special training, and maybe some anxiety meds. We can work though this anxiety together. When it comes to other dogs I really prefer to be with female dogs. In the past, I had a run-in with a male dog who hopped their fence to attack me. Ever since then I've been a bit wary of my fellow male canines. But don't worry, I get along just fine with the ladies! When it comes to kids, though, I'm as gentle as can be. I absolutely adore children, and I've been called a big softy when it comes to them. I might be a goofball and a bit of a couch potato, but I'm also a big old baby who's not too fond of the vacuum-I'll take refuge on the couch until the noise stops! Oh, and did I mention how much I love water? Yep, you heard that right-I'm not afraid to get wet, and I'll happily play with the garden hose for hours on end. And when it comes to commands, I'm pretty smart-I know how to sit, lay down, stay, move, and come here. Although, I must admit, I've also figured out how to get into those tempting trash bags from time to time! In my last home, I was loved very much, and I was incredibly close to my owner. I even have the unique experience of knowing what a power chair is, and let me tell you, I'm not scared of them one bit. But with my tendency to escape, I'll need a secure home with someone who can retrieve me if I manage to get out. So if you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who's ready to overcome some obstacles and shower you with affection, then look no further. I'm Zeus, and I'm ready to be your faithful friend for life!

Story
Hey there, I'm Gib, and I'm on the lookout for my forever home! Let me give you a little peek into my world. First things first, I've got a bit of a bark to me - I just like to make my presence known! When it comes to toys, I'm all about the stuffed animals with squeakers! They are so attention getting and fun to play with! Now, when we're out for walks, I can't help but get excited when I see those pesky squirrels. I feel sort of the same with cats. I shouldn't live with cats or other small animals, they really just aren't for me. I'll be honest, I do like my personal space, so I'd prefer to be around older kids who understand that. I especially am not comfortable with kids right in my face and can be a little grabby taking treats or toys and may scare them without meaning to as well. Personal bubble aside, I'd love to be wherever my people are. I'm a loyal shotgun rider too! I love feeling the wind in my fur as we cruise along. As for potty training, I'm still getting the hang of it, but I'm a smart pup. I'll paw at the door when nature calls, so you'll know when I need to go out. Now, when it comes to strangers, I may not be the most welcoming at first. But once I get to know you, I'm fiercely loyal and protective. I'll always have your back! When you have friends or family over go very slow with them and me so I can learn they are a part of the pack! So if you're looking for a loyal companion who's full of energy and ready for adventures, then look no further! I'm here, waiting for someone special to give me the love and care I deserve. Are you the one for me?

Story
Hey there, I'm Maya, the sweet and social Pit mix on the lookout for my forever family! At 5 years young, I've got plenty of love to give and a heart as big as can be. So, let's address the elephant in the room first - those stomach issues. Yep, I'll admit it, I've had a few accidents in the past when I've gotten into some human food. But hey, who can resist a tasty treat, am I right? On the bright side, I'm house-trained for the most part, and with a little guidance on what's off-limits, I'm sure we can keep those accidents to a minimum. Now, about my tendency to guard the younger children... Yep, guilty as charged. Sometimes I just can't help but want to keep an eye on them, especially if someone approaches too quickly. But hey, it just goes to show how much I care about my little humans! And don't worry, I'm never aggressive about it - just a bit protective. When it comes to other dogs, well, let's just say I'm a social butterfly! I've lived with small dogs before and played well with larger ones here at the shelter. I had a minor scuffle with a previous dog, though that was an intact male who was a little too interested in me. With some positive reinforcement and proper introductions, I know I can be the pawfect playmate for any furry friend. Oh, and did I mention how affectionate I am? Yep, it's true! I'm a cuddle bug through and through, and I just can't resist showering my humans with love and kisses. Plus, I'm a quick learner - I already know commands like sit and down, and I've even been crate trained in the past. Sure, I may be a tad timid in new situations, but who isn't? With a patient and loving family by my side, I know I'll gain confidence in no time. So, if you're looking for a loyal companion who's equal parts loving and lovable, look no further than me, Maya! Let's make some unforgettable memories together - I can't wait to meet you!

Story
How's it going muscles, or atleast I hope you have some 'cause when we get on the leash we're going where I'd like to go. I'm super sweet and want to play and love with my people, but not their other dog. Why would one want to lay around in their own filth? I won't bring my potty inside thats for the flies. If you haven't been able to tell yet I have some high hops too so if you want to keep me around that fence should be tall, because even a bird can be my friend, and nothing will keep me away from making a new friend..

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Brad Pitt!    DOB: 9/2019     Weight: 45-50lbs   Good old Brad Pitt still waits in the shelter kennels for his furever home! Brad was originally in foster where we discovered he is house trained. He doesn’t like being crated though, and will protest by peeing all over it, so leaving him in a room with toys while gone is preferred. He has a fair amount of energy and needs regular walks and playtime throughout the week. No food or toy aggression. He knows how to sit and will take handouts nicely. He walks well on the leash and loves rolling in dirt, leaves, and fresh cut grass whenever he can. He will soak up any attention you’ll offer. Brad does need to be an only dog and he’s not the biggest fan of cats either. Kids 12+ are recommended too. He’s a sweet, loving guy, but gets carried away with loving on you. Sometimes he gets so happy and excited that he doesn’t want you to stop and will grab at your shoes. Just needs to learn when enough is enough.  His adoption fee is $175. That helps us to cover worming, vaccines, spay/neuter, heart worm test, and microchip. We offer a 2-3 week trial. If for some reason it does not work out, you’ll be refunded $100 of your fee. If interested in adopting him please fill out an application on our NEW website. https://www.newliferescues.org . If you have issues, send us a message through our Facebook. Came to the shelter 3/2021. ***YOU MUST FILL OUT AN APPLICATION BEFORE WE DO ANY MEET AND GREETS. QUESTIONS? CONTACT pcpoundpuppies1@gmail.com Our standard adoption fee is $175 ($250 for puppies 6 months and under, or small dogs 20lbs or below) which covers a portion of the dog's vetting costs. The adoption process includes the completion of an application followed by an interview. Click here to submit an adoption application:

Story
Chico!    DOB: 10/2019    Weight: 65lbs   He looks older, but shocker, he’s only about 4 years old! Chico is a chunky, bouncy, loving dude. He’s well mannered and loves attention. Will try to crawl right up on your lap if you let him. He’s house trained and keeps a clean kennel. He loves his people and will be right up your butt if he knows you have food. He doesn’t care for cats or small dogs. He’s been ok with dogs around his size, though he’s not big into playing with others. He enjoys just wandering around and laying in the sun when he’s outside. The highlight of his shelter life is taking car rides to get ice cream!  His adoption fee is $175. That helps us to cover worming, vaccines, spay/neuter, heart worm test, and microchip. We offer a 2-3 week trial. If for some reason it does not work out, you’ll be refunded $100 of your fee.

Story
Oreo!     DOB: 6/2022    Weight: will be 60lbs ish     Oreo is a young lab mix who has really come out of her shell in the last several months. She’s a people dog for sure! ALWAYS wants to be with someone. Following you, laying beside you, or sitting right on your lap. She loves food and treats so teaching her things is a lot easier. While she‘s ok with cats, she likes to be the boss dog. She has walked and played with other dogs, but she’s not too happy sharing a home with others after awhile. Oreo is house trained but does not care for the crate too much. She is fine to be left out of it when gone though. Oreo is pretty well mannered, knows some basic commands too. She‘s always down for a long car ride or snuggling up for a movie. Oreo has been to doggie daycare and enjoys it as well!  Her adoption fee is $175. That helps us to cover worming, vaccines, spay/neuter, heart worm test, and microchip. We offer a 2-3 week trial. If for some reason it does not work out, you’ll be refunded $100 of your fee.

Story
Hi there! My name is Pretty, and I'm a 1-year-old boxer with a lot of love and energy to share. I came in from animal control, and while my past might be a bit of a mystery, I'm all about looking forward to a bright future with a loving family. When I first arrived at the shelter, I was very hyper and loved jumping on people to show my excitement. But guess what? I've already improved so much! I can now easily redirect my energy to my favorite squeaky toys. Fetch is one of my all-time favorite games, and I'll even drop the toy for you so we can keep the game going. I have a fun habit of dropping my toys in spots where I have to fish them out, so I might really enjoy a snuffle mat! I adore treats and will sit very nicely for them. I pick up on training quickly, so I'm sure I can learn lots of new tricks and commands with your help. Even though I have a lot of energy, I also have a very sweet side. I love cuddles and affection just as much as I love playing. If you're looking for a playful, energetic companion who is also sweet and eager to learn, I'm your girl. Let's meet and see if we can make each other's lives even more fun and loving!

Story
Calling all boxer fans!! I'm Bart, a 10-month-old Boxer mix with a great smile and some pep in his step! I'm on the lookout for my forever home. I came in from animal control, so my past is a bit of a mystery, but I'm ready to make new memories with you! The staff here says I'm such a happy guy that my tail is always wagging. I wag it so much that the end of it gets a little sore from hitting my kennel. But that's just because I'm full of love and excitement! I adore being around people and other dogs, and I'm always ready to give and receive affection. When we're out on walks, I have low to medium energy. I can follow commands and know how to sit. I'm usually pretty easy to walk, but I do pull a bit at first, especially if I want to greet another dog. I don't chase after ducks, geese, or bicyclists, so you don't have to worry about that. I'm friendly to everyone I meet, both dogs and people. Even though I can get a little excited at the beginning of a walk, I'm not fearful at all. I'm just eager to explore and make new friends. If you're looking for a happy, loving, and friendly companion, I think we'd be a perfect match. Come meet me, and let's start our adventure together!
