Our Featured Pet..........Marcel







MEET Marcel:

Marcel is a scruffy little guy. He is a little shy but such a love. Marcel is neutered and up to date on shots.

He weighs in at 20 lbs. He loves belly rubs, likes cats and other dogs. He is crate trained. He will need a home that is willing to continue to work on this. He is a little shy with men but with a little patience they can win him over.

If you would like to give Marcel a forever home, please contact shhandpacrescue@aol.com. for an adoption application.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SECONDHAND HOUNDS DOES NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL SHELTER WHERE YOU CAN MEET THE PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION. THESE PETS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ARE LOCATED IN LOVING FOSTER HOMES OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, WHERE THEY ARE CARED FOR AS MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES. *****DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE IN PRIVATE HOMES, WE DO REQUIRE THAT AN APPROVED APPLICATION BE IN PLACE PRIOR TO YOU VISITING THE DOG/CAT AT THE FOSTER HOME(WHEN POSSIBLE)***** THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING IN THIS MATTER.



READ WHAT ADOPTERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SECONDHAND HOUNDS/PAWS AND CLAWS AND THEIR NEW FAMILY MEMBERS:

From Taco's new family:

My husband and I looked at many, many doggies on PetFinder.com in hopes of finding that special one that would be perfect for us. When we came across an adorable little pup named Taco, we couldn't resist inquiring. Although Taco's foster home was over a thousand miles away, the folks at Secondhand Hounds told us all we wanted to know... and believe me, we wanted to know a LOT. They answered all of our (many) questions honestly and quickly to help us make an informed decision. When we decided that Taco was the right pup for us, they walked us through all the steps of adoption, staying in constant communication with us and gave some helpful new doggie advice along the way. Pick-up day was such a wonderful experience as there were several other families waiting for their special delivery as well! When little Taco came off that truck it was like he instantly knew we were his forever mommy and daddy. Taco has turned out to be everything Secondhand Hounds said and more! He has adjusted to our new home very quickly, and before we knew it he was sleeping without a peep and patiently waiting for us to come home from work. The cats are accepting him into our home and the he's the hit of the neighborhood-- complete strangers stop to tell us how cute and sweet he is! Our adopted pup has brought such happiness to our lives and taught us wonderful things no human could ever do. If you're thinking about adopting a doggie, we highly recommend adopting from Secondhand Hounds... you won't regret it!

From Liz's Forever Family:

"I discovered Liz through Petfinder during black dog awareness month. I talked with Liz's foster mom and decided she would be the prefect fit to my family. Paws and Claws talked with me and help me make a informed decision on adopting Liz. Liz did well coming into my family. We love her very much and we would adopt from Paws and Claws again!! A special thanks to Beverly Lambert!"



Tamy(Sasha's) Adoptive family had this to say:

We picked her up at 10lbs and now she is now 23lbs and getting bigger quickly!! She still has a lot to learn,, but she is getting there. Going to take her to classes in a week or so. She is a doll!!!

Again, we want to thank you so much for giving us a wonderful gift of life. She is a crazy little pup so she fits in well with our family!! Your organization is Wonderful and I would definitely recommend anyone to you, in fact I already have mentioned you to a few people who will be looking in the Near future. You have been very honest, and kept us up to date on any information you have discovered even now, 2 months later. I don’t think Many organizations would do that. Thank you and I will defiantly send more pictures as she gets older.

Sincerely, The Donovan Family
