Meet Ellis! Ellis is a 10 month old male who weighs 42 lbs and has been here for 103 days. He is neutered and ready to go home! Ellis is just a sweet baby! He came to us shy and very nervous of people and walking on the leash, but he has really broke out of his shell! He shows us more of his goofy personality everyday. He may still be shy around new people so keep that in mind if you come to visit him. He likes to run around the play yards and chasing toys. He seems to like other dogs through the fence, but meet and greets are always recommended. To meet Ellis, please stop by or call the shelter!

Meet Murray! Today is his 161st day at the shelter and we don’t why our goofy boy is still here! Murray is a 3 year old neutered male Labrador Retriever mix. He’s been on a couple of trail walks with some of our volunteers, including one with another dog. He did not pull on the leash and was mainly interested in sniffing around. He was fine walking with Lily (also looking for her forever home) but may prefer dogs that are less playful and do not get in his face or jump on him. Meet and greets are always recommended. He was very scared when he first came in and was not willing to leave his kennel but look at him now! Murray has more confidence now. He’s become very affectionate and playful! He can still be shy around new people, so go slow if you come meet him. Murray would do best in a home without young children. If you would like to meet Murray, stop by or call the shelter!

Meet Noonie! Noonie is a 3 year old spayed female. She weighs 43 lbs and came in as a stray 33 days ago. Noonie is very sweet and on the calmer side right now. She likes to play with toys. She does good about not jumping up and seems to like other dogs through the fence, but meet and greets are always recommended. For more information or to meet Noonie, please call the shelter!

09/09/2024

Meet Sandi! Sandi is a 5 year old spayed female hound mix who weighs 55 lbs. She came in as an owner surrender with Sheisty (who’s is also looking for his home) 110 days ago. Sandi is one of our calmer dogs and if you’re looking for a distinguished lady who is out of the puppy stage, then Sandi is your girl! Sandi is sweet and just seems to be interested in receiving affection. She will sit for a treat and seems to be potty trained. While she originally did not care too much about other dogs, she has become a bit reactive through the fence, so meet and greets are recommended. If you’d like to meet Sandi, stop by or call the shelter!

Meet Lily! Lily is a 1 year old spayed female hound mix weighing around 65+ lbs. She has been here 170 days. Lily has become a bit stressed at the shelter, and we’re eager for her to find a loving home soon. Lily is a sweet girl but still has some puppy tendencies, including jumping up, which can be corrected. She loves toys and being active. She’s a very happy dog and affectionate! She is strong on the leash and enjoys playing with other dogs on walks. She seems to be housebroken and seems to like other dogs, but meet and greets are always recommended. If you have children, meet and greets are also recommended. If you would like to meet Lily, please stop by or call the shelter.

09/09/2024

Meet Luke! Luke is a 2.5 year old neutered male who weighs about 65-70 lbs. Luke originally came to us as a stray at the beginning of January and has since been in and out of foster and adoptive homes, but is back at no fault of his own. He has been back now for 73 days. Luke is a good dog but he’s had no consistency in his life, so he’s been stressed with each transition. Luke needs someone who is willing to make a promise to Luke to be his forever home this time and give him time to acclimate to his new environment. It may take him extra time due to his history of being passed around. He is a big sweet goofball who doesn’t know his own size. He’s a happy boy and loves people! We have been working on sit and leash manners and he’s been doing good! He would still benefit from some basic leash training and obedience, as he does pull on leash and jumps up because he wants you to love on him. He also loves car rides. He’s been in homes with other dogs before, but may be on the selective side, so meet and greets are highly recommended. If you would like to meet Luke, stop by or call the shelter!

Mountain Mutt Manners is offering him free basic training to Luke’s adopter to help him acclimate to his environment and learn basic skills!

Come meet our available cats and kittens! We have a bunch of sweet and deserving kitties looking for their forever homes! Cat adoption fees are $50 unless stated otherwise and we do BOGO (buy one get one) since many cats do well with a buddy (applies to same day adoption only). If you’d like to meet any of these sweeties, stop by or call the shelter!

09/08/2024

Come meet our available dogs and puppies! We have a lot of dogs that have been here for a very long time that really need to find their forever homes soon! Green kennel cards mean they are ready to go home, but the ones that aren’t ready yet would still love to have visitors.
Please note, this video is meant to be an overview of who we have in the adoptable kennels, not to go into specifics of each one. If you see someone you’re interested in and have specific questions about them, please message the page, call the shelter, or stop by in person to meet them. We also do individual posts for dogs, highlighting their characteristics and what we know about them. In general, we do not know how these dogs are with children, cats, and sometimes other dogs. Adoption fees are $75 but we have several dogs with sponsored adoption fees for the month of September!

Meet Akos! Akos is a 7 month old male who weighs 27 lbs. We don’t think that he is going to get much bigger than he is now. Akos is a very sweet dog and very affectionate. He’s playful and seems to like other dogs through the fence, but meet and greets are always recommended. He is a little unsure about walking on the leash right now, but he is getting better each time. He does have some puppy tendencies, including jumping, but that can be worked on in a home. Please call the shelter for more information or to set up a meet and greet!

Meet Jeff! Jeff is a 5 year old Treeing Walker Coonhound mix. Jeff weighs 39 lbs and came to us a couple of weeks ago as an owner surrender. Jeff is a sweetie, who seems to like everyone and everything! He came from a home with a lot of dogs, and seems to like dogs through the fence, but meet and greets are always recommended. If you have any other questions or would like to meet Jeff, please call the shelter.

Jeff is heartworm positive, and what that means is he will need continued treatment after adoption. Do not let this deter you from adopting as it is treatable, but this is why heartworm preventative is so important! For more information on this process, please stop by or call the shelter.

Meet Blackie! Blackie is a 4 month old male American Blue Heeler mix. He is not neutered yet, so he can’t go home, but he would love visitors in the meantime. Blackie is very sweet and smart. He already knows how to sit and we think he would learn fast in a home. He does have puppy tendencies including jumping, but all that can be worked on in a home. Please keep in mind that blue heelers are normally high energy dogs, that require a lot of physical and mental stimulation. He seems to want to play with other dogs through the fence, but meet and greets are always recommended. Please call the shelter with any other questions, or to set up a meet and greet!

Meet Betty White!! She is a 2 year old spayed Treeing Walker Coonhound mix. She came to us 54 days ago very timid and not willing to leave her kennel. Our wonderful staff has been working with her and trying to break her out of her shell. She is still very shy around new people, so start slow if you come to meet her. You can tell she wants to be loved on, but it takes a little bit for her to trust you. She seems to get excited when she sees other dogs, but meet and greets are always recommended. Call the shelter to set up a meet and greet!

Now that Honey has been adopted, Everest is now our longest term resident. This is her 179th day here at the shelter. We would love for her to find her home soon!

Everest is a 1 year old spayed female terrier mix who weighs 51 lbs. Everest came in as an owner surrender and she was very nervous and unsure about leaving the kennel at first, but now she is much more confident and playful! She can be nervous around new people, so if you come to meet her please be patient with her! She is very sweet and still has some puppy behaviors, including being a little mouthy and jumpy when she is excited. She likes playing fetching, and does great about sitting for toys and treats. She also loves to run around the play yards. She did well on her trail walk with minimal pulling. She would be best as an only dog in the home. To meet Everest, stop by or call the shelter!

Meet Chex! Chex is around 3 years old and a Coonhound mix. He is not neutered yet, so he can’t go home, but he would love visitors in the meantime. Chex is a sweet dog and likes attention. Like your typical hound, he is very vocal. He came to us back in April with a few others. They came from an unsafe home. They were severely malnourished and neglected. Our wonderful staff have spent a lot of time and effort nursing Chex and his friends back to health. He has a lot of love to give despite his past. Chex needs some basic obedience and leash skills to thrive in his new home. If you have anymore questions or would like to meet him, please call the shelter!

Meet Hoka! He’s channeling his inner Lightning McQueen in this video. He is speedy and loves to zoom around the play yard. We would love to find him a home with lots of room to race around! 🏎️

Hoka is a 1 year old neutered male Siberian husky who weighs 43 lbs and has been here for 77 days. He is very sweet and playful and will play fetch, but he doesn’t always return the ball or he may bury it instead. He loves to zoom around the play yard and has a good amount of energy to burn off. He is a little mouthy but does good about not jumping up once in the yards. He can be a little reactive towards dogs through the fence, but will relax once he’s been in the yards for a bit. Meet and greets with other dogs are highly recommended. If you would like to meet Hoka, call the shelter or stop by!

After being here since late May of this year, Ibanez has been adopted! He he was so excited he could barely sit still for a picture, but we managed to get a good one despite his wiggles.

Thank you to the volunteers who loved on Ibanez for the time he was here and thank you to our adopters for giving our puppy the home he needs to thrive!

Starting this morning off on the right foot with an adoption!
Kalista has gone to her fur-ever home, and leaped into the car with no hesitation!

Thank you to the volunteers who have worked with Kalista, thank you to the folks over at Major League tree LLC for sponsoring her adoption, and thank you adopters for bringing this amazing pup home!

Meet Sheisty! Sheisty is a 3 year old neutered male hound mix who weighs 58 pounds and has been here for 106 days. He came in as an owner surrender with his mom Sandi and we would love for them to find their forever homes soon! Sheisty is very sweet and loves affection. He will be your bestfriend for the small price of a few treats. He is very good at sitting on command. He doesn’t seem to care about toys and just wants to be near you. Sheisty seemed to like other dogs through the fence when he first got here, but he has become very stressed at the shelter. He will likely need time to decompress in his new home (as do most shelter dogs), so please keep that in mind. Meet and greets with other dogs are still recommended. If you’d like to meet Sheisty, stop by or call the shelter!
