Joanie's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.<br/>Online Adoption Application ›<br/>Hello! My name is Joanie! These nice people rescued me from a bad situation. I lived in a hole outside with about 80 other dogs. My life was strictly having puppies and trying to survive. I also was missing a lot of hair. If you want to see what I did look like, go to my last picture. I'm much happier now. I have all my hair back. My foster mommy says I am uber sweet but need some confidence. I didn't really know a person until I came here so I can be a little shy. I do need a home with a fenced backyard. Since I am shy, I prefer to have my own space when I go potty or walk around. Don't get me wrong though, my favorite place to be is inside in my crate. I like being around my foster parents. I will run from my crate to be with them then run back to my kennel. I will do this until I'm tired. Maybe those are those zoomie things I hear people talking about. When I'm not with foster mommy or daddy my favorite past time is destroying toys. I love to take all the stuffing out and show my foster parents how proud I am. I think they want me to be the fastest toy destroyer ever! Foster mommy said when I went on the leash to the vet, I did better than she ever expected. I still don't love that place though. They have pointy thingy's there. I think they are called needles. My ideal home would be with one or two people that could give me all their love and a fenced in backyard just for me and maybe another doggy friend.

All adopters must be at least twenty one years old. ♥ Reference Checks After we receive your application, our volunteers will contact your veterinarian and your personal references. ♥ Home Check If your application moves forward, a volunteer will schedule a home check if needed for the dog of interest. This visit is not about judging your house. It helps us see whether your overall setup fit the needs of the dog you want to adopt. It also gives your current pets and any children a chance to meet the dog to be sure it is a true pawfect match. All human and canine family members must meet the new dog. ♥ Finalize the Adoption When everything is approved, you will sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. This fee covers a remarkable amount of care. Your new dog will be: • up to date on age appropriate vaccinations • spayed or neutered • microchipped • on heartworm prevention • on flea and tick medication • groomed • started on house training All Pawfect Match dogs go home with a microchip, collar, leash, and a Pawfect Match tag.
