PAWS Animal Shelter (dog)
My name is Spot. And how did I end up here at PAWS? Well, my daddy died and left me after I had lived with and loved him so much for 10 years. I am very sad and I miss him so much.
I am looking for a new home to be loved in. I’m a 10 year old chihuahua/JRT mix boy. I love all adults but I don’t do too well with young children, they kinda scare me. I get along with the other doggies here at the shelter and I think the cats are OK too. I ride well in the car, I walk nicely on a leash, I am house trained and I don’t bark…… I just wanna be a lap doggy. I recently got to go on an Adoption Event and the lady who took me there said I was her favorite dog because I was so sweet and well behaved.
Please come and visit me. I sure could use a friend.

Champaign County Animal Welfare League
Tracer, an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix is at Champaign County Animal Welfare League (CCAWL) and looking for his forever home. He is 2 years old, weighs 54 pounds, is very intelligent and loves to play with balls. Tracer is also house-trained and likes children, other dogs and is indifferent to cats.
Tracer, as with all of our pets, has been neutered, heart-worm tested, fully vaccinated, wormed, treated with heart-worm and flea prevention. He is also micro-chipped and comes with his 2017 dog license.
If you would like to visit Tracer, CCAWL is open every day except Tuesday and Sunday and the first Saturday of each month. You are welcome to visit us at 3858 State Route 56, Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Please feel free to call us at 937-834-5236 if you have any questions.
To adopt our pets, we must have an approved adoption application, which can be found on our website www.champaigncoanimalwelfareleague.com or may be obtained at our location. Our adoption fee is $150.00 cash or check. To view our available pets, please visit www.petfinder.com and/or www.adoptapet.com. Liking us on Facebook, will allow you to see our new arrivals as they arrive.
Even though we have had a somewhat mild summer, it is important to remember the effects of the hotter, more humid days of late summer on your dog. Dogs can’t sweat. They cool off by panting, so an overheated dog will drool excessively. It will become lethargic, its eyes will be bloodshot, and it may appear a little pale. If you lift its skin, it will take longer than usual for the skin to fall back into place. Different dogs have different needs when battling the heat. Keep in mind that darker coats absorb more heat than lighter coats. Also, overweight dogs are at higher risk for dehydration. Carry a bottle of water when going on a walk with your dog. Better yet, have your dog carry it for you in a backpack or a vest. The water in the bottles will keep the dog cooler and also give the dog a sense of purpose. Dogs don’t have the Weather Channel, so they don’t know why they are being denied a long walk for the day. Allow your dog to step outside and feel for itself that it is too hot, too wet, or too cold to go on a long walk. Instinctively, the dog will understand that it has to shorten its walk, or simply come back inside where it’s safe.
Excitement at the Champaign County Animal Welfare League continues to grow as we anticipate the opening of our new building. Please watch for a grand opening announcement.
