We recommend crate training until you’re confident that your dog is used to his/her new home: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/dog-behavior/weekend-crate-training

All our dogs have been spayed or neutered or arrangements will be made if currently too young. They will be treated for fleas, bathed, vaccinated against distemper/parvo, treated against general parasites, and if of age, tested for heart worms and vaccinated against rabies. If underage for these things at the time of adoption, they are to be done at the adopter’s cost when the dog becomes of age. They will be microchipped at the time of adoption.
Each dog adopted from PAWS and More also comes with a free consult session with our dog trainer: Lisa Dohlman, Professional Dog Trainer and Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. For more information, please contact Sheila at shedesigns@iowatelecom.net or the shelter at 319-653-6713.
