We ❤️ Walker! Here is what his holiday foster said about this kind-hearted boy… “Walker was such a sweetie in a home! He got along so well with my two kittens. He loves toys, car rides and going to the lake. Knows all the standard commands… Listens wonderfully and attentively, he sleeps in his crate with no complaint! He’s the sweetest boy and would be such a great addition to someone’s family!”

We believe that says it all. This boy deserves to find his forever family. We are rooting for you Walker!! ❤️🐶🐾

Thank you to our volunteer Megan for reading to our dogs 📖They shared such peaceful moments together & it created a sense of calm and closeness. As they listened to her voice, they felt reassured, loved & safe 🤗 We have the best volunteers & they truly love our animals! ❤️🐾

Poor Barley 💔 Each day he gets overlooked because he is reactive in his kennel. Barley is a completely different dog when he is not at the shelter. Just read the notes from his foster.

Dogs are social animals by nature & having a barrier between themselves and the rest of the world has a very real emotional & psychological impact on many of them. So many amazing dogs like Barley are left in the shelter because their true personalities don’t shine through.

We hope that someone out there will give him a chance & experience what his foster did. Whoever becomes his person is very lucky! 🐾❤️🐶
