Meet Zu, a three year old German Shepherd/Husky mix available for adoption. Zu has been with us a few times in the past but this time his owner never came back for him. Zu has adjusted well with being back with us. He does great in his kennel and keeps it clean, walks great on a leash, and does well with staff and volunteers. He did great with other dogs so he wouldn't mind a buddy at home as well. He's just a mellow guy looking for his forever home. Zu will need a strong handler that is can show leadership, discipline, and knowledge of the breed's needs and wants. His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter

Tw***ie is a 2 1/2 month old Great Pyranees/St Bernard pup that is available for adoption. Tw***ie was found as a stray and then surrendered to our facility as they were no longer able to take care of Tw***ie. Tw***ie is going to grow to be a very large dog and will need all the room and space to grow and roam. Tw***ie does great with other dogs and loves to wrestle with his pals. He does great with everyone he meets from dogs, cats, and children. His future home will need the time, patience, and structure to raise a rowdy puppy. He will need potty and basic training as well. His adoption fee is $270, which includes his age appropriate vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current flea prevention, registered microchip, and neuter

Meet Basshunter, a 4 1/2 month old Husky pup that was found as a stray. His owners posted him online and we waited patiently for them to contact us (as there was no phone number listed unfortunately). We also gave him an extended hold (an extra seven days!) and scanned through our lost pet log and other websites with no luck. Sadly, no one came forward for Basshunter. He is going to grow to be a big boy! And on top of that, he's full of silly Husky personality and antics! Basshunter does great with other dogs and loves his playgroup time outside. He loves to wrestle one another and rough house until there is no tomorrow. He loves going on his walks and of course, enjoys the brisk, cold weather. We cannot wait for him to experience snow (but hopefully the memory is created in his forever home!). He has a stunning Husky features like his soft coat, fluffy curly tail, and icy blue eyes. Yes, he is handsome and absolute character but he is also a Husky. Huskies like to run and need to be worked with. They like to go on long walks, can play for hours, and have the sassiest attitudes on top of everything. Basshunter is doing well at the shelter and is very affectionate but don't let his looks fool you. Huskies can be on a whole other level at times (especially raising a young pup) but with discipline, exercise, and training, they can be very rewarding and great companions! His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current monthly flea preventative, registered microchip, and neuter.

Meet Brenda, our bashful, ten month old Shepherd that is looking for a special home to call her own. Brenda came to us as a stray and was scared of her new surroundings. She would melt to the floor and cling to anything she could when on her walks. We've been working on her confidence and bravery and she has made big strides. She is very sweet and affectionate but you can tell she wasn't treated the best in the past. She drops to the floor with loud noises and will scurry away. She isn't timid to the point where she lashes out of fear but she is very submissive. She does well with other dogs but we are looking for a home with no cats or young children (10+). Treats are the key to helping her on her journey of coming out of her shell and she loves them! Brenda is going to be a project and will take some work but she is doing great and has made so many strides. She's a friendly girl that just needs some leadership and reassurance. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, heartworm test, current flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and spay.

ADOPTED!!

Meet Eilish! Eilish is an eight month old Pittie mix that was found as a stray. She's a chubby, little girl with short legs and a big personality. She currently weighs about twenty five pounds and looks so small compared to her friends in playgroup. Eilish loves to zoom and go on walks to explore. She loves toys and zooms to catch anything thrown in the age! She likes to chase anything that comes across her path during her walk like leaves or ... geese. She's quite the character. She does great with other dogs and often wrestles with her pals. She's a wiggly girl and we love her unique markings! Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, heartworm test, current flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and spay

Meet Knuckles, an eye catching, 3 year old Bully that was found on Christmas day. Knuckles was quite confused on his new surroundings but greeted us with tail wags and sloppy kisses. Unfortunately, he had no microchip or collar/tags and no reports were made that matched his description. We thought someone would for sure come looking for this handsome boy but sadly that was not the case. Knuckles is quite the character and loves to make his people happy. He does great with other dogs and loves to wrestle and bounce off one another. He will happily take treats from your hand and beg for a second or third. He's a silly boy that leaves an impression! His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter

ADOPTED!!

Meet Tia, a one year old Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix available for adoption. Tia was brought in after being found in Pilcher Park by a few citizens. She was quite terrified of her new surroundings and it took some time for her to gather her courage and learn to trust us. Once she settles, Tia is all about getting all the lovin' and wants to be by your side. Tia enjoys the company of other dogs, both big and small. She's a pretty mellow girl and will take treats gently from your hands. She is still adjusting so loud noises and quick movements can spook her. We are looking for a home with older children (8+ years) as she continues her journey of building her confidence. She would love to sit next to you on the couch, making her way onto your lap and take a quick snooze as you binge watch your favorite show late at night. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, heartworm test, current flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and spay!

Meet Bianca, a 4 1/2 old kitten looking for her forever family. Bianca is quite the character and is pretty independent. She loves wet food and often will grumble while she eats.

She enjoys playing with wand toys and batting at the feathers. She's pretty playful and when she's done, she'll zoom about, ready for her next task.

ADOPTED!!

Meet little Lumi, an 8 1/2 month old itty bitty Pittie that was found as a stray. Lumi was quite scared when she first arrived and didn't want to interact with staff. After a day or so, she quickly came around to one of the techs and learned that we wanted to be her friend, not foe, and she opened up. She showed us her true, silly personality and how sweet she can be. Lumi is only about thirty pounds and will happily climb onto your lap and wiggle herself in between your legs for pets. She does great with other dogs and loves her playgroup friends. Lumi does great with both big and small dogs! She just likes to wrestle hard and play rough. She would do well in a home with another dog to play with. Lumi is the perfect size, small in frame but big in personality! Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, heartworm test, current flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and spay

Aldean is two year old cat that was recently surrendered to our facility due to the kid's severe allergies. He was adopted from us last year and he was well loved in the family. He was very friendly from the start and is very easy going. Aldean is cat friendly and has great manners. He wants to respect their space so he's a very mellow boy who wants no drama. He previously lived with another cat and loved to play and chase one another. He would benefit from another outgoing cat. Aldean can be bashful and hasn't shown interest in toys or catnip but he really opens up with wet food. He becomes a ball of mush and just melts in your lap. During his photoshoot, he wanted to be held and kept headbutting and purring away on her shoulder. Aldean would be a perfect match for someone that's looking for a low key kitty for themselves or as a companion for their cat. He previously lived with older kids (6+ years) and did great with them. His adoption fee is $50, and includes all his vaccines, registered microchip, f***l exam, deworming, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and current on his flea/heartworm preventative. He has already been neutered!

Introducing Winslet, a one year old silver tabby that was brought in with her kittens. Her kittens have already been adopted and she is now ready to make her debut!

Prima is a one year old dilute Tortie that was recently brought in with two other cats. Prima, at first, would burrow underneath her fleece blanket and hide from staff and volunteers.

Prima loves to explore and is always pawing at you to let her out. She loves wand toys and will bat high and low to catch the toy! She does great with other cats and would do well in a home with others with a slow introduction.
