As the colder months set in, you may find that mice are trying to move into your cozy home. Rodenticides may be easily accessible, but they are a dangerous solution -- for many species of wildlife, and for pets and small humans too!

****WOULD LOVE A FOSTER HOME TO REST AND RECOVER AS HE GOES THROUGH HEARTWORM TREATMENT***

Carl is a handsome 8-year-old Blue Tick Beagle mix, weighing in at 32 lbs. This sweet boy may have had a rough start, but he's ready to find his forever home. As a stray, Carl was thin, dirty, and covered in fleas and ticks, but with love and care from our shelter staff, he's now thriving and ready to be someone's loyal companion.

Carl is a lively senior boy that is still spunky and up for walks in the yard. Due to him going through Heartworm Treatment we need to keep his activity level calm and quiet so we would LOVE to get him settled into a Foster home and away from the chaos and stress that shelter live can bring!

Carl has done well with the other dogs he has met. He spend most days sleeping and is a easygoing guy!

Carl has been neutered and microchipped, he is updated all vaccines including rabies. He has been given a dewormer and started on flea/tick prevention, heartworm tested (POSITIVE).

*****PLUTO'S EARS HAD BEEN LEFT INFECTED AND UNTREATED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME- SADLY THIS WILL BE A LIFELONG CHRONIC CONDITION THAT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED

****TESTED POSITIVE FOR LYME AND EHRLICHIA AND HAS STARTED MEDICATION TO TREAT

Pluto has been through a lot in his short 3 years of life. He was a stray, roaming the streets for who knows how long before he was finally rescued and brought to our shelter. When he arrived, he was covered in ticks and skin and bones. But despite his rough start, Pluto has never lost his charming and affectionate personality.

This handsome boy is a constant companion and a people pleaser. He loves nothing more than being by your side, showering you with love and affection. He also has an infectious happiness and playful spirit that will bring joy to any home.

Pluto is an active pup, but he also knows how to be a couch potato on lazy days. He loves going for walks and playing with his toys, but he also enjoys snuggling up next to his favorite humans. And let's not forget, he absolutely adores treats and will do just about anything for them!

While Pluto may be shy at first, it won't take long for him to warm up to you and show off his clever and curious nature. He's great with people and would make the perfect best friend for someone patient and loving. However, he can be picky with dogs, so a proper meet and greet is necessary. Pluto is a shy guy that would be best in a home with older dog savvy kids or no kids at all!

Pluto does have some special needs. When he arrived at the shelter, he had ye**ty ears that were causing him pain. But with proper care and love, he's now on the road to recovery and ready to find his forever home.

Pluto has been neutered, microchipped and Heartworm tested. We have updated all vaccines including rabies. He has been given a dewormer and started on flea/tick prevention.
