MARGIE
at 7-months old was found as a stray and very pregnant. This young teen mom had a Rescue that would take her and her puppies. Soon after she gave birth to her puppies – sadly – each one passed away. Once the Rescue found out her puppies died they no longer wanted to rescue sweet Margie. So they asked AWS if we would take her. Of course, we would! We welcomed Margie with open arms!
Margie had an undiagnosed case of mange and our vet thinks that's why her puppies perished.
She is currently continuing her treatment with Nexgard and her skin looks great!
Margie was not socialized with people as a puppy, so she is leery of strangers. With time, patience and love – Margie is learning to trust the staff and volunteers at AWS. She doesn’t give it up easily, you must earn her trust.

BEANY
is a sweet, but insecure 6-month old Shepherd mix from Puerto Rico. She needs a home with a confident dog to show her the ropes. It does take some time for her to warm up to new people, but with time she does come around. Because she is shy, we require multiple visits. Only in state adoptions for Beany.
Beany is uncomfortable around children – a home without children is best. She does not seem to mind cats.

LATOYA
is a 3 year old, 56 pound, spayed female from Puerto Rico. She's friendly and enthusiastic about life. She would love to be someone's buddy on a hike or cuddling on the couch. She'd be too much for kids under 10 but gets along with other dogs.

BUTTER PECAN
is a 2-year old, 45 pound mix from Puerto Rico. She is shy and skittish with new people, so she will need a calm quiet home with people who are willing to be patient and earn her trust. Butter Pecan does well with other dogs and would benefit from having another dog in the home to help her come out of her shell. She will need slow and steady socialization work to help her feel more confident.

DOLLY
is a one year old, 45 pound border collie mix. She came from a shelter in KY where she was found as a stray. Dolly is insecure, but smart and athletic she requires an experienced herding breed dog owner.
Adult home with less traffic coming into the home is best for Dolly. Local adoption only as Dolly requires multiple visits to get comfortable with new people. She does better and prefers women.
No Children. No cats. Ok with some dogs. Needs fenced in yard.

ZIGI
is a 1-yr old, neutered male and weighs about 25-lbs. He is a sweet boy and lots of fun once he is comfortable with you.
He didn't get the socialization he needed as a puppy, which has caused him to have some stranger danger. He is very cautious with new people and new surroundings. With patience and training we know Zigi will be a great companion to a person that has experience with insecure dogs.
The ideal home for Zigi would be a single family home with no small children under 15yrs old with no other dogs. Cats are okay.
To ensure Zigi is comfortable with his new family member he does require multiple visits before finalizing the adoption.
No out-of-state adoptions for Zigi.
