Pit Bull Terrier - Medium - Adult - Male - Dog - Cash- I'm Local
Description
**Additional pictures below** Anyone who loves a dog with a happy go lucky personality will fall head over heels for Cash! This special man has had a long history with our organization and we have adored him from day one. He was adopted to a family over a year ago who could not keep him when they moved. Cash was heartbroken to loose his family (and they were to say goodbye to him), but we know there is someone fabulous out there for him. Cash is approximately 2 years old and about 65 lbs. He is fabulous with other dogs and simply adores people. Cash adores little kids- he does not hesitate to go in for a kiss though, so small kids who are wary of friendly dogs would not be a good match for him. He is an active boy and would LOVE to run or hike with you. Cash is currently staying at John Gagnon's Pet Resort in Colchester, CT. The trainers at the facility would love to tell you all about him and Cash would love for you to come and meet him! (Just don't interrupt him during daycare- that is his favorite time of day!). We'd like to get this guy a home as quick as possible to minimize the trauma of these past few weeks. Please don't hesitate to email us with any questions! Cash is neutered and up to date on his shots. We are having him worked up by our vet as he is still testing heartworm positive even after being treated for heartworm a year and a half ago by PAWS. PAWS will cover the expense of his heartworm treatment if our medical team determines that he needs a second treatment. Other than that- he is healthy as can be! Adoption donation: $250 If you have any questions please email this dog's adoption coordinator: jenn@jennfrankavitz.com If you are interested in adopting or would like more information about PAWS New England, please check our website: http://www.pawsnewengland.com/ The adoption donation covers all pre-adoption vet costs (vaccinations, spaying/neutering, HW test/treatment, etc.) and includes their transportation up to New England. PAWS New England is not shelter but a rescue and thus is not funded by any city or state organization - we rely solely on the donations of our adopters to help defray the costs associated with saving these precious lives. Unless otherwise stated, all of our dogs are located in Tennessee at our vet clinic's boarding facility or in foster care. If a dog is "local", that means he or she is at one of our foster homes in New England. We know you are wondering, "Why would you charge so much for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible.,br> ALL KNOWN INFORMATION IS LISTED HERE. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and don't come with a known history. Want to help a friend in need? Donations can be made by clicking the button below.
