Willie's Story
Meet Willie, a handsome 2 year old male GSD/Malinois mix. Willie does well with other dogs and cats, his foster mom has 3 dogs (all large breeds) and a senior cat. Willie loves belly rubs, playing fetch (still working on the "leave it" part) and going on walks. He knows basic commands, is crate trained and potty trained. He sleeps in his crate at night with the door open or closed, he eats well twice a day and is gentle taking treats. Willie has excellent recall off leash which allows him to get great exercise while playing fetch. Willie barks at the normal dog stuff and when meeting new people but then gives a sniff or two and is ready to be friends. He has been introduced to older kids and has done well. He responds very well to having structure and rules and learns quickly from other dogs. He would benefit from having another dog in the house if possible but not required. He is becoming more confident everyday and is learning to settle on his own and not follow his foster mom everywhere. He will find a good spot to lay down or play with a toy on his own. He is a great dog and can't wait to meet his new forever family.<br/><br/><br/>HOW TO ADOPT FROM PAWS N HOOVES<br/><br/><br/><br/>What do we need to set up a meet and greet? This is an adoption application that you can link to right here. https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/11077/generic<br/><br/><br/><br/>An adoption volunteer will look it over to determine who you qualify for and what we need to get you qualified.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Once you meet the puppy or adult that you want to join your family, we will ask you to put a $100 non refundable hold deposit. This holds your puppy/dog while we get you approved. We will require 2 non relative (including fiance, significant other etc.) nor cohabitating references that can speak to your dog experience, proof of home ownership or a landlord letter with any exclusions and a physical home visit looking for safety issues and discussion of any advance questions. We get personal because we want the very best for these survivors, and we're sure that you do too. You may not qualify for all dogs or any dogs. Please speak to a PNH volunteer if you aren’t sure if you will qualify. 719-500-1880<br/><br/><br/><br/>Once you are approved, we get you set up with your adoption date. Adoptions are online through Dropbox sign and phone or video if you have questions. This is legally binding, so you will want to make sure you have your questions answered before signing. We then finalize you as the adopter in our Petstablished system, which gives you access to all records, coupons, and literature.<br/><br/>We ask for the additional adoption fee, which varies on age. Then you go get your puppy from the fosters home (this is planned in advance) Additional $400 for puppies under 1 Additional $350 for adults between 1-6 $ Additional $200 for seniors 6+ $250 for behavior challenged dogs needing extensive training, $250 per dog for bonded pairs (total of $500)We will let you know which dogs qualify for which adoption fee. <br/><br/><br/><br/>After adoption, you are required to attend obedience classes with your new puppy at a facility that provides positive only, reward based training. This is at your expense with completion expected in the first 3 months. Adult dogs can receive obedience or behavior training, depending on need. This is at your expense, but.......we refund $100 when you send the certificate of completion!!! ( if you believe fear or force based training methods are the way to go, we are not the right fit for you and will not approve an adoption) shock collars including underground fencing, prong collars, leash whips, etc are all very counter intuitive when asking your new best friend to be the goodest boy or girl possible. Ask us how you can learn more about positive only training. Pawhoofcolorado@gmail.com
