Our smiley Miley, who is STILL smiling even though she has no reason for it after being here for 654 days, with no break from the kennel. This very sweet and lovely girl, when she sees someone she knows, she will stop, sit, and wait for you to come to her and give her all of the attention. This poor baby needs somebody to give her a chance whether it’s a foster, to give her a break from the Shelter, or a Forever family to bust her outta here forever! Please call us for more information on her and/or visit in person and meet her!

Meet Nova (1-year-old)
Nova is a super sweet and affectionate.

Hi, I'm Nova and I have a big personality, lots of energy, and a lot of love to give! I love to go on walks and play in the backyard, but I have to play slowly now to strengthen my leg (recovering from surgery). Even though my cast is off, my leg is still healing. My ball is my favorite toy- I will play fetch with you for hours and can't wait for the Vet to tell me that I can run fast again! Nova loves to spend time outside exploring, playing fetch with her ball, or just laying in the grass feeling the breeze and sunshine.

She also enjoys going on walks in her harness but still needs some leash training. Nova is completely potty-trained and is well-behaved in the house. While she is super energetic outside, inside Nova is a pretty calm girl. She loves her people SO much and would cuddle all the time if you let her! One of her favorite activities is taking a snooze on nice cool surfaces, like tile or wood floors. If you are looking for a loving, sweet, dog who loves all people please give Nova a chance!

She would love to find a home with a family that has time to spend exercising with her each day to get out the Husky zoomies. However, it is important that she NOT be in a home with any cats because Nova has a high prey drive. With slow proper introductions she may be able to live in a home with other dogs, A meet and greet would be required

My name is Elysia, and I am a year old. I haven't had the best life thus far and do not like being at the shelter. While they treat me very well here at the shelter, I just prefer less noise. I hope to meet a warm and loving family who will understand that I tend to be a bit shy when 1st meeting people so it might take me a few minutes to warm up to you. I would love to find a family who will also give me love, kindness and time to adjust to my new surroundings.

Please stop in and visit with me. I promise you will instantly fall in love.

My name is Honey, and I am a one-year old, mixed breed and I am looking for a kind and loving family. I am super sweet and charming and hope to find a family who will play with me and give me plenty of yummy treats and shower me with LOVE. I am a stray so it is not currently known how I would do with other pets. Visit with me today and I will win you over for sure. #bemyvalentine

8-month-old Mojo (36 lbs) is looking for his special Valentine<3 Mojo has a lot of love to give to the right person, but that person needs to understand that Mojo is young and full of energy and will need someone who will not only love and care for him but work with him to teach him basic commands and take him for walks and give him plenty of playtime outdoors to burn off some of that energy. Mojo was found as a stray so it is currently unknown how he would do with other pets or small children. Please come and visit with Mojo today.

💫Nova💫 this poor girl was abandoned by her owner in August because she had a broken leg, they didn’t even leave her with a name or bother asking for help. Once we found out, we were able to get her the healing she needed. She then found her way into a wonderful foster home where they got to learn more about her and figured out that she does NOT like CATS. She is now back at the shelter looking for her forever home. Come meet Nova today!!!

We are in need of donations of hot dogs for our enrichment program. #hotdogs
