ADOPTED!!
HIS TIME IS UP!!!! PAX will be euthanized Tuesday, July 15th if he isn’t adopted! He has 4 days!! Pax is the longest resident (64 days) at Augusta Animal Services (AAS). Pax is just over a year old, a Pittie Mix and around 45lbs. He walks well on leash, sits for treats and is gentle taking them, loves toys (especially stuffies), loves to play in a pool, does pretty good at bathtime, likes kids, rides well in a car, enjoys walks, gets along with other dogs, and seems to be okay with cats.
Now, you might me wondering if does all those things why hasn’t he been adopted? I can only think of 2 things in particular:
1. Usually Pax just hangs out quietly in his kennel but when he sees someone, anyone headed to the adoption building he starts barking. He does it for attention, hoping someone will take him out (he doesn’t realize a lot of adopters want a quiet dog). Pax is quiet, I have never heard him bark when he is out of his kennel, usually when I first get there he’s just chilling out.
2. Pax is Heartworm (+). Even though his adopter will get 6 months of free slow-kill treatment medicine (given once a month) it seems potential adopters just don’t understand that Heartworm Disease “is not” a death sentence when it is treated. Most rescues use the slow-kill method to treat heartworm (+) dogs that go on to live long, healthy lives.
Due to pending euthanasia if you have a current pet please bring it along to include in a meet and greet. PAX is UTD on shots, neutered, microchipped; he is looking forward to meeting his “Fur-ever” family and living his best life. There is NO adoption fee for Pax. PLEASE SHARE!!
