Mickey is the last of our Disney crew.😢
He is hopeful to find his furever home now that the rest of his group has found theirs. He is a 1 1/2-year-old pit bull, still trying to figure things out. He and his brothers were all very scared when entering the shelter, you just knew that their start in life had not been the best. He has come such a long, long way, but still needs someone to help him build his confidence and show him all that is good in the world! ☺
If that could be you, please apply using the following link, https://www.belmontcoshelter.com/adoption-application.
Mickey is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

Dasher is also a snow lover!❄️

If you are looking for a companion to romp with in the snowy white outdoors, Dasher is your guy! He is a 5-year-old Husky/Pit mix, weighing around 60 pounds. Gets along with cats, kids, and is housebroken, but is extremely dog selective.

If you'd like to meet with Dasher, please submit your application through the following link: https://www.belmontcoshelter.com/adoption-application

You may remember that our dear Dasher was adopted recently but had to be returned. The adopters tried for a couple of months, so very hard, to make the situation work, but Dasher simply did not get along with just one of the dogs in the home. It was a tough decision, but out of concern for both dogs' safety, Dasher was brought back to hopefully find a home that is a better fit for him.

The adopters reached out because they fear people will overlook Dasher because he has been returned. They asked us to share their photos of Dasher during his adoption and also this statement:
"Dasher is such a sweet, wonderful dog and if it weren't for him not getting along with our one dog, we would still have him. He listens well and loved our son so much. He liked playing with the other three dogs in the house and got along well with our cats. He does great on walks and loves snuggling right up against his person in bed. He loves playing with toys and curling up under a blanket, especially if it's a heated blanket. We all miss him and want people to know he is a wonderful dog and would love to see him adopted." 💕

If you think you could have the furever home Dasher is so longing for, please apply through the link below. Come see what a wonderful dog Dasher is for yourself. 🐾

Precious says Happy Friday!!! 🥰

Precious is pretty new here at the shelter, and we're hoping her stay is not long. She came in as a stray. She had obviously been nursing pups recently, but was found alone, no pups to be found. She is around 2 years old and a German Shepherd mix. She is an energetic girl and would love an active family. She is also very sweet and would love to wind down in her very own home at the end of her busy days. ☺

If you think this "precious" girl could be the perfect addition to your household, please apply using the following link: https://www.belmontcoshelter.com/adoption-application. 🐾

For reasons we cannot understand, we still have 3 of the 4 "Candy Crew" here at the shelter. 😕
They are 9-month-old beagle/lab mixes (our best guess!) and are ready for their furever homes. They have been through the prison training program, where they worked daily on improving their confidence, as well as all your basic skills, and even some special tricks like shake, roll and wave. ☺
If you would like to help mold these pups into the best doggos they can be, please apply using the link below. We will contact you to schedule a good time to come in and see if they would be a good fit for your household. 🐾💕

Moose is still patiently waiting for just the right adopter to find her here. 😢
She came to us originally back in October 2023 as a stray. She was adopted briefly but fought with the other dog in the home and unfortunately, after months of trying, they had to return her. Moose needs to be the only dog in the home and may take multiple meet-and-greets as she can be quite unsure of new people at first. Once you break through her shell, she is the most amazing dog and loves to get butt rubs and give kisses. She walks great on a leash and is housetrained. If you are looking for a fur baby and have no other dogs, please consider Moose. You won't regret it. ❤️

Moose is a female 4.5-year-old Collie mix, weighing around 55 pounds. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations.

If you can't tell, Skye loved the snow!! 😁

Skye is a little over a year old, greyhound mix, weighing about 45 pounds. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He has been at the shelter now for 105 days, and that is 105 days too many for him. 😢

One volunteer describes Skye perfectly:
"Skye is a fun loving, playful, spunky, young boy. He is delightful to be around. But you would not know this side of him while in his kennel. Skye is shy, skittish and confused when in his enclosure. He is unsure of why he is now at a shelter filled with so many other dogs. Skye wants to be as close as he can be to you once he feels you are okay! It does not take long, give him a chance. ❤️ He really enjoys stuffed toys, but he mostly needs a loving person to show him that he is a great and brave boy. He is eager and he is willing to love AND he is adorable!" 🐾

Second up is Becca! 🐾

Becca is a 1 1/2-year-old Beagle/Pit mix, weighing 40 pounds. She is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.
Per a volunteer: "Becca is a lover of playing and wiggling. She enjoys her toys and would love a yard and person to play fetch with her. She is an active little girl but also calms down for one-on-one attention. Becca is eager to please and would love to have someone help her to be the best girl that we know she is." ❤️

Please share Becca, and if you are interested in adopting, please use the following link to apply: https://www.belmontcoshelter.com/adoption-application.

With the weather being what it has been 🥶, our dogs aren't spending much time outdoors. Fortunately, our volunteers got to spend a day taking them outside to play in the snow. They had a ball! So, we thought we would share some of their wintertime joy. ❄️

First is Ashley. 🐾
She was brought to the shelter in May of 2024. She was adopted briefly but was returned due to not getting along with the older dog in the house. She was very loving with the family, got along with the cat, even ignored the ducks and chickens, but could not find harmony with the other dog. They told us that they thought she was a fantastic but just could not put that continued stress on their older dog. 😢
She is a pit bull mix, around 3 1/2 years old, weighing a little under 40 pounds. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. If you think she could be a nice fit for your family, please apply using the link below. We will schedule a time for you to come see this fun little girl for yourself. 🐾
