Pitbull/Lab Mix

Meet handsome Ares! He is a very sweet boy who is looking for his perfect family! He is four and a half years old and is a petite boy!
He is a very goofy pup who gets cold very easily so he loves to wear sweaters!
Ares is very laidback and he loves to nap on the couch all morning! He loves to watch TV with you but hates any dogs on screen or anything that could possibly be a dog. Ares isn’t much into chew toys but loves a good treat! Bully sticks are his favorite!
Ares is currently working through relearning his basic recall commands and building his confidence. He will need patience and positive reinforcement to help in this process.
He is crate trained but not comfortable to stay in it for long periods of time, but is perfectly fine loose in the house alone and does well.
​
Ares is barrier reactive so anyone walking by an outdoor fence or through a gate that he can see will trigger him. He will need some positive reinforcement and redirection with this behavior. He can be very shy at first, but once he warms up to you- he will be your best friend!
​
Ares has grown up in a dog daycare and is perfectly fine in a group setting. One on one encounters will need to be taken slowly as he can get protective of his humans. He is not comfortable around cats or children and will need work in those areas to be able to settle down around them. He would do best in a house with older children. He would have to meet a kitty before living with one. He was very curious with the one he met, so it would depend on the cat.
​
He loves to go for walks and would be the best adventure buddy! He will need continued confidence building and redirection at times with his leash manners.
The perfect forever home would be a home that his new family would continue and follow through with his training needs. He deserves the best new family and his handsome face will melt your heart!
​
He would do amazing in a home with another confident dog to show him around and make him more comfortable! He loves all of his All Paws Retreat friends and family AND it would be amazing if his new family would continue to take him to All Paws!

If you would like to meet this handsome boy,
please complete an adoption application today!
GOLDIE
Yellow Lab/Boxer/Mix
DOB: Approx. 08/07/23
​​
Goldie Girl is the darling of our program. She was found wandering down the street in a neighborhood. She was lost, scared. Her little tail was tucked between her legs, her little paws were raw from walking and looking for her owners who drove away after removing her collar. Goldie was seen walking up and down the streets for several days...looking, walking, running to each person that she saw until she realized it wasn't who she was looking for. Finally, a kind neighbor went out to her, and talked to her quietly and told her that everything would be okay. And she said that Goldie looked at her...really looked at her....and she untucked her tail and she wagged it just a little bit.
For the first few days, Goldie sat by the door, watching and waiting for her owner to return. It was heartbreaking. But as time went on, she started to play and follow the other dogs in the home around. And even though the sadness was still there, in her eyes sometimes and when she saw someone come to the door, we saw her true self start to shine through.
Goldie loves other dogs. She is sweet and loves them all. She is even good with cats. She is just a sweet girl. She is working on potty training, and to go into a crate and not be sad. But most of all, she is a cuddler. She wants to cuddle all of the time....she wants to be right next to her people...probably so they don't leave her again. She is learning to be carefree and happy again and she LOVES to play and run and jump. She is finally feeling happy...and Goldie will make a sweet addition and best friend for someone.
But we ask that if you adopt her and promise to be her person that you promise to be her person forever. Goldie's heart would be broken if this happens to her again. So if you can open your home and your heart to Goldie for the rest of her life, please complete an on-line Adoption Application today and meet the best little girl who will make you finally understand what it means to be unconditionally loved!

Sweet little Finley is a small 18lb girl who was found running in a neighborhood very scared and very very pregnant. They took her to Franklin County where she went into labor the next day. She gave birth to two puppies and then things turned deadly. Finley began to struggle and she had to be rushed in for an emergency c-section. The staff veterinarian was able to save Finley, but the three remaining unborn puppies were stillborn. This tiny 18 lb dog was carrying 5 puppies that together probably weighed as much as she did.
She was in the shelter and her hold time had run out...and her owners never came to pick her up. She was a loving Mother to the little puppies that were the only things that she had to cling to in the shelter and her time was running out. At the last minute we had a wonderful foster step up to foster her and PetPromise pulled Finley (originally called Havana) and her two 2-day old babies...and they were on the road to Freedom that night.
Since then, Finley has been the best little Mom. She was extremely thin and malnourished (having given every ounce of herself to her puppies). She was quiet and shy at first in yet another new place....things are scary for this poor girl that went from being on her own trying to survive, to almost dying and in a shelter and now in a new place with lots of people and other pets, and two new babies to care for.
​
She is a sweet girl and she is starting to trust again. We will update on her little personality as her puppies grow and she becomes more comfortable in her foster home. Relax sweet Finley...you are safe now. We PROMISE!
If you would like to be considered to adopt this precious soul when she is ready and the puppies are weaned, please complete an on-line Adoption Application today!

MAX
(Mixed) Male Puppy of Finley

Max is the sweet boy of Finley. He was born on February 26, 2025 at the Franklin County Dog Shelter. He was in danger of euthanasia along with his sister, Lucy and his Mom, Finley before he was rescued by PetPromise He is still a baby but is a little love. He is very gentle and a little shy. He makes little puppy sounds and is the biggest of the two puppies (we have no idea how big he'll be yet but his Momma (Finley) is 18 lbs.
This little guy will be ready at about 8 weeks old (around the end of April) to go to a foster to adopt home (you can foster him for PetPromise until he is neutered after 10-12 weeks) Watch for update about this little guy as he grows and we get to see more of his sweet personality.

LUCY
(Mixed) Female Puppy of Finley
DOB: 02/26/24​​
​
Lucy is the little girl of Finley. Like her brother Max, she was born the day after her mother was taken to the Franklin County Dog Shelter as a stray. Lucy looks like her Momma already. She is smaller than her brother Max but she is a tough little spitfire. She likes to bark already and makes sure that you see her. She is as precious as they come.
We don't know how big she will get yet but her Momma, Finley is only about 18 lbs. Lucy will be ready at about 8 weeks (aroudn the end of April) to go to a foster to adopt home where she can be fostered by her future human family until she is big enough and old enough to be spayed somewhere after 10-12 weeks.
Watch this page for updates on her personality as she grows...and if you think you want to make little Lucy your forever family, please complete an on-line Adoption Application today and be ready to bring her home as soon as she is ready!
