Spunky and Myers came in together but they do not have to leave together. Duo’s are hard for the shelter because we always hope that their owner will come for them, but they haven’t.

These are good dogs and they are already spayed/neutered. They could leave the shelter environment today! Please help us share these two. Videos will be in the comments and stories.

Spunky, Neutered, A158344, 3 years old, 73 lbs.
Myers, spayed, A158345, 3 years old, 39 lbs.

Rufus is playful in the yard yet calms down pretty fast. Likes to be brushed and would make a great family dog as he’s social with people as well.

He’s a sweet dog with a soft temperament, that does well with other dogs but seems to get overlooked. See the videos in our stories for more.

Please share Rufus to help him be seen and saved🙏🏻 A160985, 9 months old and has been at the shelter for 1 month so his ADOPTION FEE IS $0

UPDATE: Betsy has rescue and will be leaving the shelter in the morning 👏🤍
Betsy (A161414) is a fun loving English bull dog mix that’s only a year old and 56 lbs. She’s playful with other dogs, likes to do zoomies and also enjoys chilling with you right after.

She’s pretty low to the ground, doesn’t jump up and is a quiet girl that will come to you for affection. We feel she would be a great family dog or even your main squeeze.

ADOPTION FEES ARE WAIVED ON SATURDAYS
After today her adoption fee will be $25

Rico (A160734) is a 2 years old, neutered, 60 lb American bull dog mix. He is a lap dog that walks well on leash and loves people. He has done well with other dogs too. We know Rico would be the best companion.

He once was adopted but they didn’t show to pick him up. We have taken him to the news for pet of the week but he has not found his forever yet.

HIS ADOPTION FEE IS $0 since he’s been here for 30 days. PLEASE SHARE RICO 🙏🏻💙

These are the dogs brought into the shelter 6/24 & 6/25. As the 4th of July gets closer we need for people to come in to identify and claim their dogs more than ever so please help by sharing these intake posts.

We will become more overcrowded and are already seeing an uptick in numbers of dogs getting out simply because of the heat.

We are open tomorrow and Saturday from 10am to 4pm for return to owner transactions and closed Sunday and Monday.

UPDATE: ADOPTED 🎉 6/27/25
This sad, sweet, skinny boy is Levi (A160265) He is our He is a 9 month old, mixed breed, that’s only 25 lbs. He shares a kennel with another male dog.

He’s shy but enjoys affection and absolutely loves treats! He curled up in the passenger seat of the car and will walk on leash with encouragement outside of the shelter. However, he is scared in the kennel and I had to carry him to the car.

His ADOPTION FEE IS WAIVED cause he’s been here for over 30 days.

Levi is neutered and ready to be out of this place. We know he will thrive with a family or person and even a doggie friend could help him along the way.

He is a shy boy with people but has a kennel mate that he does well with and he is treat motivated. He has been waiting a month to be noticed so now his Adoption Fee is Waived.

He will walk a little bit on leash outside of the shelter but I did have to carry him to the car and he rode just curled up in the passenger seat the whole way there.

We want so badly to see him blossom with a family or his person. Please Share Levi (A160265), Neutered, 9 months old and 23 lbs. He will only be a medium sized dog.

UPDATE: ADOPTED 🎉 She will stay until she is spayed and we will update again.
Winona sure does appreciate the ice cream and getting to go out and play. She got to go again today with Harriet that we posted yesterday. Both girls are dog friendly.

Winona (A161309) is only 5 months old, this is no place for her to grow up. Please help us share her for a family to come for her. She’s maybe a shepherd mix, enjoys the pool, is 24 lbs and still growing.

Watch for her videos in the stories and comments
Adoption Fee $0 because she is under 6 months.
