🌼 Meet June – Your New Toy-Loving Best Friend! 🌼

Hi there, June here! I’m a sweet, 4–5-year-old gal looking for my forever home. I came to the shelter as a nervous stray, but thanks to the kind volunteers, I’ve come out of my shell and I’m ready to meet my new family!

One thing to know about me? I LOVE toys—like really love them. I’ll carry one around in my mouth all day if you let me. It’s kind of my thing! 🧸💕

I’m not totally sure how I feel about other dogs just yet, but I’m open to a meet-and-greet to see if we might get along. Who knows, maybe I’ll make a new friend!

I’m already:
✅ Spayed
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Microchipped
✅ Dewormed
✅ Given flea prevention
✅ Sponsored and ready to go home today!

📍 Come visit me at the shelter:
📅 Tues–Thurs: 1–5 PM
📅 Fri–Sat: 1–4 PM
❗ Closed this Friday for 4th of July celebrations

If you're looking for a loyal companion with a playful side (and excellent toy-carrying skills), I’d love to meet you. Come take me for a walk and see if we’re meant to be!

🐾 Love, June

🐾 Meet Alf & Barney – The Scruffy Brothers! 🐾

Hey everyone! Alf and Barney here – two scruffy, playful brothers full of love and tail wags! We’re around 2–3 years old and while we came in together, we don’t have to be adopted as a pair—though we wouldn’t mind it either!

We’re both total sweethearts who:
🐶 Love other dogs
🚶 Enjoy long walks
☀️ Sunbathe like pros
💖 Crave behind-the-ear scratches

We’ve got pretty good potty habits and do our best to hold it until the shelter staff or volunteers take us out. We're easy to love and even easier to make smile!

We’re both:
✅ Neutered
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Microchipped
✅ Dewormed
✅ Given flea prevention
✅ Adoption fees already paid! 🎉

That means more money for toys, treats, cozy beds—and maybe even matching bandanas if we’re adopted together (just sayin’).

📍 Come meet us at the shelter:
📅 Tues–Thurs: 1–5 PM
📅 Fri–Sat: 1–4 PM
❗ Closed this Friday for 4th of July celebrations

We’re dreaming of our forever homes, maybe with you! Come down and say hi—we’d love to show you our best smiles (and maybe even a little dance).

🐾 Love, Alf & Barney

🌸 Meet Miss Lola – The Queen of Chill 🌸

Hey y’all, Miss Lola here! I’m an 8-year-old gentle soul looking for a quiet, laid-back home where I can enjoy my golden years in peace. I’ve been at the shelter the longest of all the residents, and while the staff has taken great care of me, I’m dreaming of a cozy couch to call my own.

I love morning walks, sunbathing, and just taking it easy. I'm not one for wild games or puppy zoomies—those youngsters wear me out! But I could likely live with another older, mellow dog who respects my calm vibe.

I’m fully vetted and ready to go:
✅ Spayed
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Microchipped
✅ Dewormed
✅ Flea prevention
✅ Adoption fee already paid! 🐾

That means more money for a soft bed, tasty snacks, and maybe even a stylish sweater or two!

📍 Come visit me at the shelter:
📅 Tues–Thurs: 1–5 PM
📅 Fri–Sat: 1–4 PM
❗ Closed this Friday for 4th of July celebrations

If you’ve got a quiet home and a warm spot on the couch, I’d love to meet you. Let’s spend our days together relaxing, strolling, and soaking up the sunshine.

🐾 Love, Miss Lola

🐾 Meet Charles – Your New Best Friend! 🐾

Hey everyone! My name is Charles, and I’m about 2 years old with energy to spare! I’ve been at the shelter since the beginning of May, and while the folks here are great, I’m ready to find a forever home where I can stretch my legs and play to my heart’s content.

I’d be happiest in a home with a big yard where I can run around and burn off some of my zoomies! The amazing volunteers here have been working with me, and guess what—I’ve already learned how to sit! I love toys and would make a great playmate for a younger dog like me, but I might be a bit too much for an older pup.

I came in as a stray, so the shelter doesn’t know much about my past, but I think I’d really enjoy playing with older kids. I’m a friendly, fun-loving boy looking for someone to share adventures with!

✅ Neutered
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Dewormed
✅ Flea prevention
✅ Adoption fee already paid! 🎉

That’s right—my adoption fee has already been covered, so you can use those extra bucks to spoil me with new toys and treats!

📍 Come meet me:
📅 Tues–Thurs: 1–5 PM
📅 Fri–Sat: 1–4 PM
❗ Closed this Friday for 4th of July celebrations

I’m going a little stir crazy here at the shelter, so don’t wait—come visit me today and see if we’re a perfect match. I can’t wait to meet you!

🐶 Love, Charles
