Amazing

“Hi, my name is Amazing and I just arrived from MS in search of a home of my own. I’m thought to be a 5.5-month-old Collie mix and currently weight about 28 lbs. This is the first time I’ve been on my own without my 4 brothers and sisters and I have to say, it’s pretty scary. I have a playmate in … the kennel next to me and I really want to visit her but I’m not confident enough yet. Foster mom says she’s sure I’ll get used to my new home and fur-mates in due time. In the meanwhile, I watch what the other dogs are doing and come to the door to go outside so I’m really close to taking that next step. I’m spayed, micro-chipped and current on vaccines and preventatives. Apply to meet me today – you’ll be glad you did.” Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. (OPH) rescues dogs and cats of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters in NC, VA, MD, and SC, reducing the numbers being euthanized. With limited resources, the shelters are forced to put down 50-90% of the animals that come in the front door. OPH provides pet adoption services to families located in VA, DC, MD, PA and neighboring states. OPH is a 501(c)(3) organization and is 100% donor funded. OPH does not operate a shelter or have a physical location. We rely on foster families who open their homes to give love and attention to each pet before finding a forever home. All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
