A real Jewel

Jewels is about 3 years old, a black-and-white pit bull girl. She previously had been adopted but was returned after about a year. She came back in a terrible state of fear and barking. She spent four months with Paws Place’s dog trainer and is doing well. She plays with other dogs in the playpen, goes to pet adoptions and does well with strangers. She is loving and needs a quiet home and continued socialization. Paws Place would even pay for her continued work in a home with its trainer. She weighs about 38 pounds, is obedient, and knows how to sit/stay even when excited. Paws Place Animal Rescue is a no-kill, nonprofit domestic animal rescue facility that provides sanctuary for unadoptable dogs and seeks loving homes for those that are. Its kennels are open 9 a.m.-noon daily. Paws Place also offers animal-care education and volunteer work programs at its five-acre humanitarian facility 5 miles east of N.C. 87 and 1 mile north of Camp Pretty Pond, 3701 Boiling Spring Road in Boiling Spring Lakes. Tax-deductible cash donations are always needed and appreciated, especially for the spaying and neutering program. Call 845-PAWS (7297) or visit the Web site www.pawsplace.org.
