Pets in need of homes

PAWS has numerous animals that are in need of responsible homes.

Yogy is a black retriever-mix. He is about 5 years old, neutered, and last received his vaccination shots two years ago. Yogy is good with other dogs and people, and is an inside/outside dog.

Due to Yogy’s background and history, his foster family is not willing to give the dog to individuals or families that tether dogs outside for prolonged periods of time or leave dogs unattended. A family adopted Yogy two years ago and tethered the dog outside, without adequate food and water. The dog suffered severe health problems that nearly killed the dog.

If you are interested in adopting Yogy, and can provide Yogy with a responsible home, contact Monika at 1-671-687-4401 or monikasgallery@hotmail.com.

Female Pup (a.k.a. No. 6) is available to a loving home. This youngster was found running on the side of the road! She is about four weeks of age, brown in color, with a dark nose. She has been to Paradise Island Animal Hospital for her first round of de-worming, but has not received her vaccinations yet due to her young age.

If you or someone you know is able to offer this pup a responsible home, and obtain future vaccination shots (and hopefully spaying—no puppies!), please contact Lori at thelories@yahoo.com.

ZigZag, one of the luckiest dogs on Saipan, is also available for adoption and/or fostering. ZigZag was rescued from the road after being hit by a car and left for dead. His rescuer kindly took ZigZag to Paradise Island Animal Hospital for an examination, where ZigZag underwent reconstructive surgery for his hip and back leg. He is currently recovering at a foster family’s home, and is nearly fully recovered and ready for adoption. Ideally, PAWS would like to place him in a permanent loving home by April 1, 2009.

ZigZag is a male boonie dog, with black and tan markings. He is thought to be about 2-3 years of age. He is house-trained, and excellent with cats and children.

If you are interested in making ZigZag your best friend, please contact Maria at mdcowden@gmail.com or 234-2528 for an interview and viewing.
