Someone please adopt sweet Miss Aurora! She is already established with us and LOVES playing with her friends.

Aurora came to us as a referral from Animal Control for a family facing eviction in Aug 2024. She was living in a camper with her other 2 siblings (original litter size of 11) started out needing to learn leash skills and socialize with the world. Aurora had a patient owner who encouraged her through life as she learned how to live in a normal household.

In Aug 2026, Aurora was boarded for a couple weeks while her family figured out medical challenges in the home. Much to their heartbreak, it was discovered that their child was highly allergic to dogs and the only viable option to get him healthy again was to keep Aurora out of the home.

Hear what Aurora's foster mom has to say about her now. "She is a lady, that’s for sure. You’d never guess she’s only 2.5 yrs old!

Have kids? Good!! Adults are cool but she loves the littles way more 😅

Chickens, cats, small and large livestock? She doesn’t really care; they are just a friend 🥰

Need a look out partner? Need to know when that scary bike rider is back? Or when your parents show up 😜 She’s an alert barker! I love it haha it is not excessive (I’m not a dog barker person so I promise you it’s not bad haha)

She requires a belly scratch before giving up the toy 🤣🤣 (she says non-negotiable with the new family!)

Riding in the car? Very well mannered!! Will bark at people walking by."

Aurora comes with AEL's promise of her whole first year of core vet care expense covered by AEL, always welcome back if things don't work out, and free training through Dog Training With Kasey. To submit an application, please go to: tinyurl.com/AELAdoptionSquad

Some of you may have noticed a couple temporary changes happening at Country Paws and we can't wait to share the news! Our backyard is finally getting finished! No more mud, no more getting distracted by the critters on the other side of the fence, and more cleanliness! You may be wondering what took us so long to get to this point, so let me explain the journey. When we built, the power line got moved from our old backyard to our current backyard 🤦‍♀️. Moving that again wasn't an expense we had planned on, being closed for 6 months with little to no income wasn't in our plan either. BUT because of all of you believing in us and trusting us with your fur babies, we were finally able to secure funding to finish this much needed upgrade!
