Pets in Need

Sawyer was adopted from us approximately 7 months ago. Unfortunately his small prey drive is getting the best of him and he’s killing the family chickens. He is able to get under and over the fence to reach them. Sawyer is otherwise a very good boy who is housebroken, crate trained, and a real love bug. He loves to play and needs a playmate that will tolerate his youthful enthusiasm. Sawyer is estimated to be 2.5 years old, he was found as a stray and went unclaimed. His hound dog nose will get the best of him and he will run. If you can foster or are interested in adopting this beagle boy, please apply at perryanimalwelfaresociety.com. Other pets in your home must be spay/neutered, current on vaccines, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Sawyer needs all the shares to help him find a new home. ... See MoreSee Less

‼️Code Red Emergency ‼️ Hattie was adopted from us about 7 months ago. Unfortunately a serious illness in her family has her needing a new home, foster or adopt in the next two weeks. Hattie is a Lab/German Shepherd mix and she’s 1 year old. She is housebroken and crate trained. She is good with other dogs and kids, but not cats. She walks well on a leash but recall is not great so she can’t be trusted off leash. She is not a big fan of car rides and does best when crated in the car. Hattie is an energetic girl who needs an active home. Need a running or hiking buddy? Hattie is your girl. Want someone to snuggle with after your run? Hattie is also your girl. To apply go to perryanimalwelfaresociety.com. Other dogs in your home must be spay/neutered, current on vaccines, and on regular heartworm/flea/tick prevention. Please help us find this beautiful girl’s happy ending! Share!!! ... See MoreSee Less
