BRANDY
Sometimes I look around and I ask myself "How did my life turn out this way?" I thought I was a good dog. I loved my people and I thought that they loved me back. Then one day I found myself at the local pound and my people were gone. At first I thought that I must just be in some low-budget boarding kennel and that they would be back for me soon. But the days turned into weeks and I finally had to admit it to myself - they weren't coming back for me.
Luckily for me, the folks at PAWS decided that my life shouldn't be at the pound so they checked me out of there and brought me to their place. Even though PAWS is a huge improvement over being in the pound it's not the same as being in a home. I LOVE attention from people and I get bored and lonely at PAWS and sometimes I beat up my toys and my bed out of frustration. I'm an athletic type and would love to be in a home where the people are active and spend alot of time playing or walking. I'd REALLY love a fenced-in yard where I could play outside to my heart's content. Due to my energy level I'm probably best suited to an adult-only home.
I've been through basic obedience and I've been told that I'm a very smart girl. I'm a German Shepard mix, about 10 years old, already spayed and have gotten all my shots. Sounds like I'm ready to be adopted!
Can you open your heart and your home to me? I really need your help!

Everyone interested in adopting a pet from PAWS must complete an adoption application before they come in to see pets. Makes the process go a bit smoother and helps us get a better idea of what your needs are. This way we can try to determine what pets might be a good match for your situation. Not all pets are suited for all homes & vice-versa. Also, if we have your application ahead of time and any info is missing, we can get it resolved before you come in.
Once we have your application, one of the directors will give you a call to set up a time to see the pets. We do appointments during the week - usually in the afternoon and the early evening. We also have open house every Saturday from 12 to 4 and no appointment is needed. We can be flexible if the listed adoption times do not work for you.
We encourage people to come in during the week if at all possible. Saturday is our busiest day & things get quite hectic. If you choose to come on a Saturday, please understand that the wait can be quite lengthy.
When coming to see pets, whether by appointment or during the open house, please expect to spend at least one hour at PAWS with the pets. It is important that you spend time with the pets in order to select a pet that is a good match for your family.
The adoption applications can be found at Cat Adoption Application or Dog Adoption Application.
