UPDATE We have several adoption forms for this fella! We will be processing them this week!

Meet Sprout!

Sprout was found left at the entrance to our shelter, not sure why no one has come to claim him because you won't find a better good boy! He loves attention, is housetrained, loves pup cups, give hugs, loves rides and does well with everyone he meets! Loves to be out and just laying in your lap, he also knows how to sit pretty! We guess him to be between the ages of 3-5 years He has a vet visit Monday May 12th so he will be ready to go home mid next week!

Sprout will be fully vetted including Neuter, Heartworm Test, All Vaccines including Rabies, On Monthly Preventatives as well as Microchipped.

If you are interested in adopting Sprout please complete our adoption application on our website.

Meet and Greets will be scheduled for approved adopters.

Come on people please come claim your dogs we are exhausted and tired and need your dogs to be HOME! These 3 have come in in the last week and yet 2 of them being puppies! Puppies struggle being in a shelter which causes severe anxiety and sometimes aggression which leads to no one interested in adopting and then the unthinkable!

WE WILL WAIVE IMPOUND FEES FOR THESE 3 IF THEY ARE CLAIMED BY THE 25TH!!

488 L...O...N...G... Days! 1 FULL YEAR and 4 MONTHS of living in a shelter after being abandoned by his owners and then left to be impounded at a different shelter with little to no care...

MACHO DESERVES BETTER
MACHO DESERVIES A LOVING HOME
MACHO DESERVIES TO NOT HAVE HIS SIZE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
MACHO LOVES EVERYONE HE MEETS

FOR THE LOVE OF MACHO PLEASE CONSIDER OPENING YOUR HOME TO GIVE THIS HIGHLY TRAINED BIG LOVE BUG A FOREVER HOME!

Meet Macho!

Macho was a stray who was never claimed sadly. He is guessed to be around 4 years old and weighs 70lbs

DNA: Macho was DNA tested and we found that his top 5 Breeds are.....
28% American Pit Bull Terrier
28% German Shorthaired Pointer
18% American Staffordshire Terrier
11% Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler)
6% Boxer

This boy has the demeanor of the American Staffordshire Terrier he is SO laid back and just want's love and attention.

He does well with other BIG dogs, he does NOT do well with small dogs or cats so he needs a home where he can either be the only dogs or have one buddy who is comparable in size to him

He is Fully Vetted including Neuter, Heartworm Tested (negative), Monthly Preventatives for Fleas/Ticks/HW, Fully Vaccinated including Rabies as well as Microchipped.

Macho spent 22 weeks in training with the Puppies for Parole Program, he has finally GRADUATED!! And looking for his new forever home.

Macho has excelled in his training and learned all kinds of tricks! Here is what we have all learned about this amazing boy!

1. He would do best with dogs his size (no small dogs or cats)
2. Remember to take a look at his DNA results, as his breeds play a role in some of qualities
3. He is easily distracted by birds…. Bees… Butterflies! (Hence the GSP in his bloodline for the bird distraction)
4. He does not like people to lean over him.. So no hovering!
5. He prefers to be the “leader” with other dogs and his human, he will need guidance!
6. He likes it when you hide treats in his kennel so he can find them!
7. Once he has established his home he will guard it, BUT he can be directed away. This is in no way an aggressive manner just a territorial stance, most all dogs will establish their area.
8. He likes to greet new people with his WHOLE ENTIRE SELF… So be cautious of the cuddles you are fixing to get when you first meet him!
Tricks and Commands he knows with or without a treat using hand signals:
Sit, Down, Come, stay, Wait, Heel, Come to Heel and Watch Me/Focus
Behavioral Commands he understands and Responds to:
No, Leave it, Drop it, Off, Yes
Macho worked on the following in preparation for his Canine Good Citizens Certificate”
1. Accepted a Friendly Stranger
2. Sitting politely for petting
3. Appearance and Grooming
4. Out for a wall (walking on a loose leash)
5. Walking through a crowd
6. Sit and down on command/Staying in Place
7. Coming when called (recall)
8. Reaction to another dog
9. Reaction to distractions
10. Supervised separation
He LOVES toys! Kong Balls, Balls, Nyla Bones are all his favorites, He will suckle a blanket… He misses his mom!
Last but not least, his TRICKS! This boy is amazingly smart
Sit Pretty, Tippy Toes, Play Dead, Roll Over, Center, Cover, Weave and last but not least Forward/Heel.

THIS DOG IS PRICELESS WHEN IT COMES TO HIS TRAINING!
