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.

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.

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.
