Paxton 's Story

*SCSN does not respond to Petfinder Inquiries. If interested in a meet and greet you must fill out the adoption application! <br/><br/>Intake: 12/10/25<br/>21 lbs at Intake <br/>2 years old- best guess<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $350<br/><br/>Available Now! <br/><br/>Paxton is ready to find his new fam! <br/><br/>This adorable, teddy bear looking guy was surrendered to a shelter after nipping a male member in his home. Unfortunately there were no more details than that given to the shelter. <br/><br/>They immediately felt he was not being described accurately as he showed nothing but complete happiness and friendliness towards all employees- including the males! Because he had a “bite record” he was labeled rescue only or headed for euthanasia. We couldn't let that happen after seeing his joyful personality on video. <br/><br/>Since arriving he has not attempted to bite any of us, not males, females or kids. He has played well with all dogs he’s met except 1 in tact male that he just didn’t seem to like. He is energetic, playful, loves to do tricks and seems to overall be a very sweet boy! <br/><br/>Neutered<br/>Vaccinated<br/>Microchipped <br/>HW Negative and on Monthly Prevention <br/><br/>To move Forward with a meet and greet please<br/><br/>1.) read through our adoption contract and make sure they are terms you can comply with - do not sign this yet. <br/><br/>https://www.screvenspayandneuter.com/adoptioncontract<br/><br/> and <br/><br/>2.) fill out Adoption Application:<br/>https://www.screvenspayandneuter.com/adoptionapplication<br/><br/>You will be contacted by adoption coordinator if they have questions or you are approved to adopt. <br/><br/>_______________________________________________<br/>***If you choose to adopt (before all vetting is complete) and use your own vet rather than our local Snip Clinic for these services, you do so at your own expense and it will not reduce the adoption fee. Adoption fees are NON NEGOTIABLE.<br/><br/>1.) All dogs are adopted to the best possible match and calling or emailing the rescue will not speed up the process or liken your chances of being chosen.<br/><br/>2.) You will be notified by adoption coordinator if your application is approved. Adoptions are set up by appointment only. We do not have “hours” of operation.<br/><br/>3.) If the dog is posted as Available on Petfinder, it is available but may have pending applications and meet and greets set up.<br/><br/>4.) If you are not ready to immediately meet the dog you are applying for, please do not apply- we are too busy for window shoppers! Every dog is available to be taken home with you at the time of the meet and greet.<br/><br/>5.) We recommend you bring a carrier with you to transport the dog home as some can get carsick. Adult dogs and most puppies over 6 months of age will require a slip lead.<br/><br/>6.) Adoption fees can be paid with Cash, Check, Venmo, PayPal and credit Card.<br/><br/>Screven County Spay & Neuter Corp.<br/>SYLVANIA, GA
