Help us save even more lives in 2018 by buying a “Balls are for fetching!” spay/neuter shirt!  Spaying or neutering pets helps with overpopulation and the astronomical numbers of animals euthanized due to overcrowding in shelters. Every penny that we raise goes right back into our rescue to care for more animals!  To purchase yours for only $20, visit https://www.customink.com/fundraising/adopt-spay-neuter.  Hurry, you only have until December 9th to get in your order!!

Paxton

Paxton

Paxton…oh Paxton. This good looking lad is probably going to end up on one of those viral dog shaming posts. He may have his head stuck in a garbage pail, he may steal your breakfast, it’s really anyone’s guess. He’s enthusiastic and never boring! Paxton prefers to be a free-range kind of guy versus a stuck-in-a-crate fellow. He would not do well as an apartment dog and needs a partner to do martial arts, circus tricks, or just basic exercise would be ok too. Paxton is actually a smart boy and now part of our canine-inmate program. While he’s in the program he’ll be learning basic obedience and how not to end up on America’s Funniest Videos. If you are looking for a companion to bring a smile to your face, this is your guy. Please fill out an online application to meet Paxton.
Estimated birthdate: November 2016
Weight: 35 lbs (needs to gain at least 5)
Good with kids: seems to be
Good with cats: unknown
Housebroken: yes
**part of canine-inmate program**
