Laverne's Story

Meet Laverne! Laverne was found matted and dirty. The lady holding her decided she didn't want to do that anymore and was going to let her loose! WHAT! One of our volunteers zipped over to her house and picked her and her buddy Lenny up. We are pretty sure Laverne was used for breeding. Poor girl was a hot mess! Don't let the resting dog face throw you off, she is a really sweet happy gal! Laverne is all cleaned up and has had her medical done. She still had baby teeth that we pulled and an umbilical hernia that was fixed. Her hair is really short. She had to be shaved since she was so matted. She will need regular grooming, once her hair grows out. She is very sweet but a little shy at first. She is looking for a nice quiet home with lots of cuddle time. Laverne is spayed , UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and 4DX (tick/heartworm test) negative. Laverne is approximately 5 years old and weighs 8 pounds.

Paw Posse Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy

All potential adopters fill out an application. If we feel based off the application that they may be a good fit we do a phone interview. If that goes well we do a meet and greet. If there are other dogs involved they are included in the meet and greet. If that goes well we move to the home inspection. If they pass we can process the application. Sometimes dogs don't mesh the first time meeting. We will set up additional meet and greets for the dogs. There may be things in their home that we ask them to change (storage box by a fence, lock on the gate, barrier at the front door). Once we verify these items repaired/in place we will approve the application. We follow up with our adopters regularly. We ask for updated photos and help with any concerns they may be having.
