Hope is the sweetest little angel who loves to be around people. She plays with other dogs in our playgroups in the gentle and dainty group. She will probably prefer to do her own thing as she can be a bit shy. Come meet this sweet girl today and see if she’s the perfect fit for your family.

Kane is just a super sweet, snuggly doggo looking for a nice, friendly human to love and cherish him. He has been in our playgroups several times now and has won the hearts of every person and dog he's played with there. He still acts like a puppy, but he's wise enough to be polite and sweet with new people and dogs before he launches into playing and snuggling. If you're looking for the sweetest puppy to add to your family, come meet Kane today!

Meet Goldie, the golden girl! She is very happy, sweet, affectionate and snuggly, but beware, she is a snorer. Goldie makes friends with everyone she meets immediately, wiggling and seeking attention. She didn't particularly care for toys offered to her but she is very food motivated. She loves enrichment and doing a snuffle mat, and takes treats gently. With other pup-pals, she's playful, sweet and social, and tolerant. Goldie is a generally silly and goofy little girl even though she is very itchy, but she's got an adorable sweater on to help with that. Visit Goldie today and you just may fall in love!

A huge shout-out to our shelter and rescue partners who’ve accepted shelter pets who were already available for adoption before being impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. We also want to thank so many others who have helped place non-hurricane animals from our care and rehabilitation center to make space for animals displaced by the hurricanes. 🫶

Meet baby! Shes just got the cutest ears and smile to die for! She is super duper sweet, and such a lady as she always wipes her feet with the happiest tail wag and smile. She has been described by staff and volunteers as confident, playful, pushy, social, sweet and tolerent. She can be a little picky on who she is friends with so it is recommended that she meets any resident dog before going home! She isnt a huge fan of cats, small animals or livestock. But with that face who can say no?! Come meet her today at 3201 Division Street!
