Gretel

  

Gretel is an older poodle mix who was surrendered to the local animal shelter by her owners.  When she was surrendered the animal shelter discovered a four inch gash to the bone on her back.  Apparently she has never had much love in her long life.  APAWS rescued her to give her a shot at finding her forever home where she will be loved and cared for as a member of the family. She is currently undergoing medical treatment for her injuries and will be available for adoption once she is fully recovered. We expect her recovery to take several weeks.

Senior Animals

    

Frequently people overlook senior animals when looking for a new pet.  This is very unfortunate because although they are older these senior animals have a lot of love to give!  Senior dogs and cats tend to be calmer and more affectionate with their owner.  When we have space available APAWS pulls senior dogs from high kill shelters because we firmly believe every animal deserves a chance at love.  Many of the cats in our group are seniors and until they are adopted we cannot save any more cats.  If you or someone you know is looking for a new pet please consider adopting a senior. 

Lena



Lena is an eight year old Chinese Crested who was left outside in the elements all of her life.  The Chinese Crested breed is a hairless breed with only a tuft of hair on their head, paws and tail.  Hairless breeds should not be left outside because they have no natural protection from the sun, rain and cold.  Her owners finally relinquished her to a local rescue when her skin became very infected from being outside and they could not afford to treat her.  The rescue transferred her to APAWS so we can find her a forever home.  She received medical treatment for her skin infection and is currently available for adoption.
