Now here is an AMAZING story! Max and Mickey came to us from different circumstances, Max from Georgia and Mickey from a local situation.

Labrador Retriever
This adorable pup is Jillie. She is 6-months-old and weighs 29 lb so we expect she will be about 40 lb full grown. A perfect medium sized girl! Our best breed guess is lab mixed with something that makes the cutest up ears...terrier? cattledog? Jillie is at a foster home, not at our shelter. Her foster says "Jillie is both goofy and sweet. As soon as you pet her, she melts into your hands. If you have a couch with stuffed animals and a blanket that she can make a fort with, then it's a win! Jillie gets along with my dogs and will keep herself entertained with stuffed animals and napping (when she snores, she whistles--super cute). Jillie is very smart and in the short amount of time I have had her, she is making incredible progress with housetraining. Jillie rides great in the car. At night she sleeps in a crate and will sleep through the night. She can be a little shy at first, but I think in a loving environment, she will outgrow this hesitation."

Great Pyrenees
This gorgeous girl is Violet. Poor Violet was adopted and now returned to us because she is quite shy. She is 2-years-old and weighs 47 lb. We think she is a Great pyrenees mix. Violet is incredibly sweet but needs a patient, dog-savvy owner who is willing to help her come out of her shell and settle into her new home at her pace. She is a beautiful dog but will need continued training and work, so please consider this before applying or coming to meet her. Violet would do great with gentle children of all ages. Violet lived with two other dogs in Georgia and is fine with other dogs that are calm like her. She might benefit from another dog showing her the ropes in her forever home. We don't know what Violet thinks of cats, but can "cat-test" her if needed. Violet is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and healthy. Her adoption fee is $395. If you would like to meet/adopt Violet, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms or stop by at our shelter Wednesday-Sunday between 12 and 6 PM. The DAWS shelter address is 147 Grassy Plain St. Bethel.

This handsome boy is Charles. He is 3-years-old and weighs 7 lb. Charles is a super sweet boy who loves being held. He showed up at a local colony several months ago and when was trapped for neuter, he surprised us by being friendly! When you pick him up, he immediately goes limp and starts purring. He loves to eat and play. Charles will need time to adjust to a new place and people because his first instinct is to hide, but once he trusts, you he is amazing. He would do best in a calm/quiet home. A little patience and some treats and Charles will be a wonderful companion. Charles is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and healthy. He tested positive for FIV, but unlikely that will affect his health in the future. His adoption fee is $150. If you would like to meet/adopt Charles, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms

This handsome boy is Linus. He is a 7-month-old short haired tuxedo. Linus's life started out rough, being outside and feral for the first two months of his life. His foster says "Linus has adjusted well over the past five months in our care. He is so loveable now and loves attention, whether it is petting or playing with toys. He just recently found his voice and it is a joy to hear him talk when we enter the room. Linus will do well as a solo pet or with other cats, but will need time to adjust to his new surroundings in any situation. Linus has not been introduced to dogs, so we are not sure how he will react." Linus is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and healthy. His adoption fee is $150.

Shepherd
This pretty girl is Shiloh. She is a 4-year-old shepherd mix and weighs 50 lb. Shiloh came to us from a rescue partner in Georgia. She completed a training program at a prison there and now is ready to find her forever home. Shiloh is an energetic and friendly dog who would benefit from a dog-savvy and active owner who is willing to help her continue her training. Shiloh loves to play and be outside. She invites tug but does lack some awareness on where her mouth is when grabbing a toy, so a home with teens and up would be best. Shiloh would enjoy another high energy dog to play with in the home. We don't know what Shiloh thinks of cats, but we can "cat-test" her if needed. Shiloh is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and healthy. Her adoption fee is $395.

She has really come out of her shell and is playing with toys and will often come out to greet you when you come into the room. She is a sweet cat and as long as she is given the occasional space she needs, Lana consistently seeks out interaction with toys and wants to be petted. She purrs almost constantly when people are engaging with her now. That being said, Lana is definitely not a lap cat. If you bring her up to a chair or a bed, she will sit with you, but she is not one to jump up and want to lay on you.

German Shepherd Dog
Zorro is our longest resident at DAWS and has been here for four years. During that time, this 70 lb. six-year-old shepherd mix has been working very hard on training and we believe his time has come to find his furever home! Back in 2019, when Zorro first arrived to DAWS after being saved from a high kill shelter in Kentucky, he began developing some behavioral challenges, making it difficult to find him the right home. Through extensive training, Zorro has proved himself to be a pup that can develop solid friendships with humans, and even befriend select dogs. Zorro has been trained using treats and he eagerly sits, lies down and gives a paw on command. He’s done very well with car rides. He has enjoyed many hikes, walks, and play-time with his volunteer team. Time and time again, he has shown what a good boy he is, he just needs to find that special person! With a dog like Zorro, he will need a very specific adopter... Zorro Owner Requirements: • Experienced dog owner • Adult-only home with no kids or future children • Must be the only pet in the home • Has to have an understanding of positive reinforcement training • House with a fenced yard of at least 6 ft. • Willing to slowly introduce Zorro to people close to the family and educate them on Zorro’s do’s & don'ts • Come and meet Zorro multiple times If you think you can be the hero that Zorro needs, please complete our online application. Here is the link to the app: https://daws.org/daws-forms/ Zorro’s adoption fee is discounted for veterans that are members of the organization Pets for Patriots. The discounted fee for him is $100.
