GBF Adoptable Dog & Cat Of The Week: Twix & Lavender

We've teamed up with our rescue friends in Posey County, Indiana. Each week we share an adoptable dog from PC Pound Puppies and an adoptable feline friend from Posey Humane Society as well as details on how you can make them a forever part of your home. Let me introduce you to your next best friend.

PC Pound Puppies

Meet Twix

Twix is on the smaller side. At 4-5 years old, he weighs just 30 pounds. If you're looking for a good boy who is laid back and loves everyone, Twix is your guy. According to PC Pound Puppies,

He's an easy going guy who is good with dogs, cats and kids and loves to go for car rides

If you think you would make a good companion for Twix, please contact PC Pound Puppies.

The PC Pound Puppies standard adoption fee is $175 ($250 for puppies 6 months and under, or small dogs 15lbs or below) which covers a portion of the dog's vetting costs. The adoption process includes the completion of an application followed by an interview. If you're interested in adding this pup to your family, you can fill out an adoption application here. The adoption process does require a completed application as well as an interview. The rescue will not schedule a meet and greet without having first received a completed application.

You can get in touch with PC Pound Puppies by email at pcpoundpuppies1@gmail.com or by phone at 812-483-4341. They do respond to inquiries and adoption applications at the earliest opportunity, but please remember to be patient as they are volunteers who all work full-time jobs. They always do their best to return messages and schedule adoption interviews within a couple of days of receiving your application. Again, you can submit an application here.

Posey Humane Society

Meet Lavender

Lavender is a sweet domestic shorthair kitty who is looking for a forever home, preferably with warm laps and soft pets. She would make a perfect companion.

Posey Humane Society has plenty of other kitties as well as lots of dogs, both young and old. If you're interested in meeting this week's adoptable cat or any of the other wonderful and deserving animals in the care of Posey Humane Society, you can visit them on Facebook or by visiting their official website, PoseyHumane.org. They are also in need of foster homes where the animals can wait for their forever families without having to stay inside the shelter.
