MEET
ALLIE!!
 |
... at least meet her soon because a dog like this will not be with us for very long.
Allie is 6 years old and she had to be surrendered because of the economy, Allie has few flaws. She walks well on a leash, even with 2 other dogs walking with her. She walked into my house (3 other dogs and 3 cats) and was comfortable and accepted 5 minutes later. She is up to date on her shots, heartworm tested (neg.) and on Heartworm preventive. Poor Allie has a ear infection and is being treated for it now.
My cats have no fear of her and they walk right up to her. My cats are veterans of the "foster wars" and they know if a dog is dangerous, they won't stay in the room with an aggressive dog of any size. Speaking of size... because we all know it matters, Allie is 75 pounds and solid. She is good with kids and all humans for that matter, but I was told she didn't like the kids laying on her. A lot of humans are the same way ;-)
So she is good with kids, teens and adults. Allie is spayed and up to date on her shots. Beautiful, calm, friendly, she likes dogs and cats and walks well on a leash. Her adoption fee only $100.
Are you wondering why you haven't adopted her yet? :-D

MEET CHARLIE!
 |
My foster mom just nicknamed me "WHIRLY TAIL". It's because most dogs wag their tails back and forth............ I do mine in a circle, like a helicopter getting ready to take off............ I mean maybe I could even fly if I was a little more aerodynamically inclined. My real names is Charlie and I am a 50 pound, 5 year old, settled Golden Retriever Sheltie mix boy (who has the nice fluffy sheltie tail) with lots of class. I live with several other dogs (both girls and boys but would do best with female dogs)and a fenced yard would be wonderful (I can learn on the electric fence too) or someone who would keep me well exercised (maybe a runner). My mom has to leave for the Peace Corps as she can't find a job in her area of expertise in the current job market here. She hates leaving this boy. Her elderly mother is taking my two elder sheltie sisters but she says I still have a lot of energy. I love to play and keep you entertained. I am a cuddler and love to put my head in your lap. I am neutered and up to date on all his shots! I would make one of the best companions ever and adore people. I have been in a good home the last four years of my life. My adoption fee is $100 as I just turned 5. To adopt me please do our application on line and if you have any questions email mharbin@neo.rr.com. I am adorable and you could not get a better friend! Did you know I can sit for a treat............shake hands......roll over to get a belly rub.... and maybe even bring you breakfast in bed (I think my foster mom may be exaggerating on the last one but I am a phenomenal dog)!

MEET OAFIE!
|
Hi there! I'm Oafie.... Its lovely to have you look at my profile! My foster mom calls me "Oaf" or "Oafie" because I'm a big girl who just kinda throws myself around.... I'm a Choc. lab/boxer/Rott mix. There is probably something else in there but your guess is as good as mine :) My foster mom says I'm great with other dogs (males and females) and I love to play with kids! My foster mom said that I should go to a home with kids who don't mind being bumped into and possibly knocked over. I would never do that to be mean, I just don't know my own size. My foster mom's kids climb all over me and I just roll over to get them off of me... I LOVE to lick "dirty" hands and faces!!!
Oafie is a little over a year old and about 60 or so pounds (haven't had her weighed recently). Oafie also comes up to date on shots, flea meds, heartworm meds, spayed and ready to love! Oafie's adoption fee is $200.
If you are interested in
Oafie, please fill out an adoption application at
www.pawsandprayers.org.

MEET STUBS!
|
Well hello there!!! My name is Stubs and I am a 1.5yr old hound/collie mix weighing in at about 40lbs. I got the name Stubs because I was wagging my tail so much (Cause i am a very happy dog!!!) in my cage at the pound that I kept breaking it open and it started bleeding. So the lovely Vet and Vet assistant had to amputate part of my tail. So now I just have a Stub there, hence the name Stubs. I actually come to my name too.
I am a very active dog but
have been crated while my
tail was healing. I need
some work on manners but am
starting to learn. I get
along well with other dogs
and kids as well. I would
probably do better in a home
that has older kids for my
foster mom thinks I am going
to be herder. I am
housebroken and cage
trained. I am current on my
vaccinations, heartworm/flea
medicine, i have been
neutered already. Having all
that done my adoption fee is
$200dollars which covers
everything that has been
done and the surgery for my
tail:) If i interest you
please go to
www.pawsandprayers.org
and fill out an adoption
application and my foster
mom will be in contact with
you!!!!

MEET MANNY!
 |
I am a love bug and a pleaser.
I came in shaking like a leaf
but in a few short days, these
people have assured me that
I can trust and I am worthy
of love. Check out my picture
... I'm a good-looking boy and
I only have "kind bones" in
my body. They think I may be
part collie; however, they really
do not know what I am made of.
Does it really matter since
I am the best dog ever? The
truth is, I am a Heinz 57 ...
meaning I probably have 57 breeds
in me! Now through his quarantine
period, he is ready to experience
love and security in the safe
arms of a committed owner and
to meet his "forever home and
family." Never to be orphaned
again!!!
UPDATED: 07-12-10 Mannie has
made major improvements. He
is very friendly and playful.
We think he was miss-handled
by small children. We would
like to see him go with a family
who's children are at least
12 years old. Otherwise Mannie
is ready to be loved and not
fear life in a good loving ,
secure home. He was not treated
very well in his old life. Those
individuals should be ashamed
of themselves. Come meet Mannie.
Take him for a walk at our near
by park.
Mannie is up-to-date with routine
shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

MEET SAMMY
& SHYLO!
 |
A good “quality of life” is important to all living beings. Just as modern medicine has extended life expectancies of human beings, veterinary medicine has done the same for our furry friends. As with people, a pet living with a specific medical condition does not mean the pet is living with illness.
Sammy & Shylo, as well as several of their feline friends, are living with a “condition” that requires no special care. They will most likely live as long as any other cat and will offer the same fun-loving behaviors. They don’t have any limitations. Sammy’s favorite trick is to leap from the floor into your arms with a simple hand signal and sweet Shylo’s favorite place will, no doubt, be in your warm lap.
Just as all animals are worthy of love and security in a safe home environment, cats and dogs living with a manageable “condition” are no less deserving. Sadly, these pets are often overlooked as flawed. As this population continues to grow in number at the shelter, space remains occupied with these precious animals and can slow down the process of rescuing even more homeless pets.
If you are interested in Sammy or Shylo or any of the other amazing “special needs” pets awaiting their forever home, please visit the adoption center. Tax-deductible donations can be made payable to: One of A Kind Pet Rescue. Notation: Special Needs Pets Are Worthy of Love Too.

MEET MOKA!
 |
Mommy Moka was rescued with babies Lizzy, Ted and John Wayne by some kind people. All the babies have been adopted. Now it's mommy's turn. She's looking for a happily ever after home. Hopefully, this courtesy post from PAWS will help.
Moka is the absolute sugar sweetest small gray girl who loves to be queen of the castle. She is a super affectionate, very people oriented cat who much prefers human companionship to other animals. She would sit on your lap and cuddle constantly if allowed. She does not get along well with dogs. If she absolutely must share with another cat, she will but Moka strongly prefers the company of humans to other felines.
Add some love to your life with this sweet girl.
If interested in lovely Moka, please complete an application at pawsohio.org/adopt.htm

MEET MARIA
 |
Maria is an adult kitty, about 4 or 5 years old. She was rescued from the outdoors with her kittens, and once they were weaned she was a foster mom to another orphaned litter. She is a GREAT mom!
She is a very affectionate sweet girl who would sit in your lap and cuddle all day if you let her. She is also so playful and comical that her foster mom has nick-named her "Monkey."
We don't know what she went through before we found her, but x-rays show that she once had a broken jaw, and has permanent damage to her sinus cavities. This causes her to have more drainage than most cats do, and makes her a little more prone to sinus infections ( which are easily cured with antibiotics ).
If you are willing to provide Maria with the extra TLC she needs, she will reward you with so much love and companionship--she'll be the best friend you ever had! Maria gets along great with other cats, in fact she would love a feline playmate!
If interested in sweet Maria, please complete an application at pawsohio.org/adopt.htm

MEET JENNA!
 |
Jenna is a quiet, gentle 5 month old kitten. She is a muted short haired tabby of buff and pearl grey with streaks of strawberry. Jenna likes to play with toys and with her sisters. She is spayed and has all of her shots. Jenna will do best in a quiet household with no small children so she feels comfortable and safe. Please give this sweet baby a chance!
If you're interested in being Jenna's forever friend, please complete an application at pawsohio.org/adopt.htm

SOX IS A
SPECIAL FELLOW!
 |
Sox is an older guy, about 6 or 7 years old. When he was found, his face was swollen and bloody, and he had some broken teeth. He was so ill, that at first we thought he had been poisoned.He is healthy now, but whatever happened to him has made him very, very timid and shy. He does take a long time to warm up to people.
If you are willing to be patient and gentle with him, and gain his trust, he will reward you by being an affectionate cat who is talkative when you talk to him, loves to be combed, will lay on his back to have his belly rubbed, and follow you around like a puppy.
He gets along with other cats, but he is extremely submissive and should be around older cats. He is afraid of dogs.
If interested in this special guy, Sox, please complete an application at pawsohio.org/adopt.htm

TORTOLINA!
 |
Affectionate, Independent
Italian Beauty Seeks
Soulmate.
Tortalina
(not a very creative name,
but she is Italian ) was
found in the woods near a
condominium complex on
04/28/08 after brief
sightings for over 8 months.
She is a strong, independent
kitty who was able to brave
winter blizzards and outdoor
elements before being
rescued by a kind samaritan.
According to the vet, she
had nursed a litter of
kittens. Although we were
unable to locate them,
Tortalina kept returning to
us in search of human
companionship and home.
Tortalina's a complete love
to her foster mom. She
snuggles on her, drapes her
body over her neck and plays
perfectly on her own. She
doesn't always play well
with other kitties and can
be a bit skittish so she
should go to a peaceful home
without other cats or
children. She's friendly,
playful, and purrs for all
your affection.
Tortalina is a gorgeous
diluted tortie, with a
mostly dark grey fluffy coat
with peach markings. She has
been through so much and
deserves a wonderful forever
person or family to adore
her. Tortalina is a courtesy
posting, and PAWS is helping
her find a purrmanent home.
If interested in Tortalina,
please complete an
application at

LOVABLE
LILY
 |
Abandoned by her owners when
they moved, Lovable Lily
needs a new home now
Lucky for Lily, the owners
of the rental home realized
something was strange when
they found among the trash
left behind, a litter box,
cat dishes and toys. Even
stranger, whenever they
returned to work on
repairing and cleaning the
house, the litter box
would've been used! They
left out food-it would be
gone when they returned, but
there was no kitty in sight!
After several weeks of no
luck they finally decided to
borrow a humane trap and see
if they could find her that
way. Fortunately, it worked!
Trapped in the cage was a
scared but adorable young,
grey female who now needed a
home fast. That's where PAWS
stepped in.
Now Lily is in a loving PAWS
foster home reaping the
benefits that caring humans
can provide. It takes her a
little time to trust but,
once she does, she's a sweet
and affectionate little lap
kitty who will cuddle up to
her foster parents and run
her little purr motor. Lily
is about 12 months old,
spayed, tested and
vaccinated. Lily is a little
territorial with other cats
and dogs. She defends her
space but gets along with
them after a time. We also
suggest a home with no small
children as she is a bit
skittish. Please consider
adopting Lily and giving her
a home where she'll never be
left behind ever again.
She'll be your friend
forever.
If interested lovely Lily,
please complete an
application at
http://www.pawsohio.org/adopt.htm
