Shirley's Story

Hi there, I’m Shirley! I was rescued with my best friend, Laverne, she has already found her forever home and I'm still waiting for mine. I’m a sweet, happy 2-year-old pittie mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. I’m fully crate trained and housebroken, and I already know some great basics like sit, stay, paw, and down.<br/><br/>I enjoy going on long walks, but I’d be over the moon to have a yard where I can relax and soak up the sunshine. Especially with spring being here now, I'm ready to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather and lounge in the grass. I’m a big fan of belly rubs and cozy naps, too. I get along wonderfully with other dogs—even the chatty, energetic ones!<br/><br/>Please don’t let my strong look fool you—I’m really just a gentle, cuddly teddy bear at heart. Did I mention that I LOVE kids? I mean I really light up around kiddos.<br/><br/>I’m ready to find my forever home and a family to love. Come meet me—I think we might be perfect for each other. 🐾<br/><br/>If you are interested in this dog The first step is to go to our website and fill out an application. https://placingpawsrescue.org/applications/dog-application/<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $450.00 The adoption fee includes all age appropriate vaccinations including rabies, HW test if age appropriate, de-worming, microchip, fecal, spay or neuter, Heartworm and flea and tick preventative. ADOPTION PROCESS: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application online at www.placingpawsrescue.org. Once we review the applications, those applicants that are thought to be a good match will be contacted as quickly as possible. We ask that you please be patient with us as we are all volunteers. Then a telephone interview will take place, references checked and a home visit will be conducted. We will then arrange for you to meet the dog. We require that all family members, including current dogs meet the dog prior to adoption. We put all of the known information in the animals description. If the animal is listed on the website, we are still accepting applications for that animal. We only remove the animal when the final adoption paperwork is signed. The best way to contact us is by email at placingpaws@yahoo.com. It is very difficult for the limited numbers of volunteers to return all calls. Thank you.
