Happy endings for three pups in pound

Happy endings for three pups in pound
By LaDonna Rhodes Staff Writer,

Paws N Claws – Eufaula helped with three adoptions in one week from the Eufaula pound. These puppies would’ve been put down after ten days but caring and concerned citizens stepped up to create three happy endings as three fur babies found their fur-ever homes instead.

The 2-year-old pit mix boy pup went to a home in Bixby and his new family is thrilled that he has been fitting right in with their other two dogs and their young children. The brindle-colored pup has been named Zeus and now has a huge yard to run and play in and he also comes inside when he’s ready for a long nap. Zeus has taken up with the Maugans’ 4-year-old daughter, Salem, and even sleeps in her bed with her.

The other two pups were rat terrier/ Jack Russel mixes and went to two other homes in the Longtown area.The boy pup has found a furever new friend, 6-yearold Randy Cartledge, to grow up with and has been named Chase, off of Paw Patrol. The little girl pup has been named Sweetie like her timid personality and loves her new home too.

Another pup named Boomer was also adopted out but didn’t have to go into the pound.

Paws N Claws is a local volunteer group working diligently to make a difference in McIntosh County and bring awareness to abandoned animals. “I believe this makes our 12th rescue from the pound since Jan. 26 and we have also helped find homes for several other abandoned pups within our community,” Lori Powell-Fells said. “Of course we couldn’t do this without concerned citizens sharing our post and helping us find adoptees. We want to say thank you to Bobby Rhodes who helped transport these last pups and a special thanks to foster dog parents, Brad Shropshire and Eric Getty, for helping to sponsor these adoptions as well. We couldn’t do it without you guys.”

If you would like to help sponsor pound pup adoptions or volunteer as a foster, please call Lori at 918-618-3810 or LaDonna at 479-4224210.
