This little guy was never claimed and is now ready to find his forever home. He is named Paco and he is still very young. Paco is a Chihuahua and not yet neutered so he will be a foster to adopt. He is very loving and just wants to be held at all times. However, like most young dogs Paco needs someone who is going to work with him and train him. He is not housebroken and he also likes to let everyone know that he is there...all the time. But with time, training and patience Paco will make someone a great little dog. If interested in Paco please stop on in and meet him! We are open Tuesday-Saturday 12-4pm. Also if you have any other dogs please bring them for a meet and greet.
08/30/2024
Look no further if youād like to adopt a happy and friendly pup! Sheās in need of some training and is ready to work with a breed savvy teacher or someone willing to spend the time with her. Sheās flexible! She does well with other dogs, and would be fine with a doggie companion in the home. She loves people and would be very excited to meet you!
Weāre open 12-4 Tuesday-Saturday
08/30/2024
Itās that time of year and this pretty, friendly girl is ready to learn the basics! Sheās a Husky mix with emphasis on Husky. Sheās four years old, a bundle of energy and in need of training, but she has that cute Husky howlš She does well with other dogs, and would do well in a home with a companion.
Weāve named her Thelma. You know, as in the duo Thelma and Louise? Yeah, the name suits her since sheās brassy, strong, clever and wise.
Sheās available for adoption and ready to be the perfect student! We suggest someone familiar with this breed be her teacher. Cāmon in and meet her!
Weāre open 12-4 Tuesday-Saturday

We will be closing at 1:30 today due to short staff.

Buddy got to spend the weekend out of the shelter and in a home! He's back now but we learned some new things about him. For instance, he can be just fine in a home with other dogs, even male ones. He would do best with a calmer doggie sibling or an older one. He is a big time snuggler and is really good riding in the car! We were told that he doesn't really climb on the furniture. Also, he saw a cat through the sliding glass door and didn't have any kind of negative reaction. Doesn't he just sound like the perfect companion! Oh and did I mention that he likes to play fetch! We deeply appreciate the lovely woman that gave Buddy a couple days of a normal life outside of the shelter. We never would have known some of the stuff we know now about him without her. If Buddy sounds like he would be a good match please stop on in and meet him. He loves meeting new people, even if he's a little shy at first. If you have another dog please bring them for a meet and greet.

If you like big, tall dogs boy do we have the dog for you! This guy is named Moose and he is approximately 2 years old. He is a German Shepherd mix. He does get a little excited when he first gets out of his kennel but settles down fairly quickly. He seems to be fine with the other dogs once he settles down but as always please bring any potential doggie siblings for a meet and greet. If interested in big ole Moose please stop on out and meet him!

š¾Youāre free to be differentš¾
Thatās what we tell all our dogs and cats here. They are free here to be sad without judgement, to be brokenhearted and weary because theyāre homeless. Yes, they are different. All have a story. Yet, they know how to love, know how to be carefree in our midst, know how to hope, know there is a forever home out thereā¦somewhere.
š¾Can you be different and adopt a dog or cat from our shelter? Can you be different and adopt and not shop? Can you be different and open up your heart and home to one of our wonderful residents?
š¾Also, we have had people comment on prior posts offering to sponsor the adoption fee for a dog since they canāt adopt. Would you please call us and follow up for more information on how to do that? We and the animals would be so grateful if you did!
š¾Weāre open 12-4 Tuesday-Saturday.

š¾ITāS NATIONAL DOG DAYš¾
In honor of this, we are reminding YOU of our extra special, beautiful bundles of love and goodness dogs that need YOU.
EVERY rescue dog has a story. What really happened to them before they landed in our shelter? We only know what weāve been told. Itās not always who they are. They all are perfect for someone, somewhere.
What we do know is how they are while with us, always loving and trying hard to be the best version of themselves. When given a new home, with wonderful you, it takes weeks for them to decompress and show their inner goodness. Imagine how confused they must be until they feel safe with you?
They all NEED a forever home. We give them what we can, but they NEED more, a home with YOU!
NEED a reminder of their awesomeness? YOU got it!
š¾QUEENIE-at 2-3 years old she knows the ins and outs of being the bestest girl. She walks great on a leash, listens well, and has been here too long. We donāt really know what has happened in her past. All we know is sheās been the bestest girl since she came to us in April. Sheās very easy to love.
š¾BELLA-this 10ish sweet senior girl was the best mama to her puppies this summer. Sheās ready for a retirement home where she can rest her weary head. She still has s***k! Her short little legs make her the cutest old lady when she runs!
š¾GIA-oh my this beautiful 2-3 year baby loves her people! Sheās the bestest at laying on her back and kicking up those little legs in happiness. She loves car rides, grabbing a toy to play with and being a lap dog. Sheās been with us since May! Too long for any dog, especially one who wants to spend all her time with you.
š¾BUDDY-at almost 2 years old heās the handsome king of the shelter now. All his male buddies found homes. Heās surrounded by the ladies, which he doesnāt mind. Heās happiest when playing fetch! In fact, heās just the happiest boy. Did we mention his cute little butt wiggles when he wags his tail? Heāll lay quietly in his kennel, listens well, and has the bestest smile. Whatās not to love? Heās our longest resident having been here since March! Wonāt you be his new buddy and forever home?
š¾ATHENA-at 2-3 years old, sheās the goddess of our shelter, and the second longest resident here. March 26 to be exact! Sheās regal, beautiful, smart, and in desperate need of a home who understands her breed and what she needs. Sheās loving and loyal. Sheāll crawl on your lap and gives the best slobbery kisses.
Weāre open 12-4 Tuesday-Saturday-see you then!

See those paw prints? Yeah, those cute ones into the house. Those are Giaās. She WANTS a home. She NEEDS a home. She WANTS a family. She NEEDS a family. Sheās been with us since May. Way too long for a sweet girl like her!
She has separation anxiety. Why? She loves her people and wants to be with them. She doesnāt like being crated because loves to be next to you.
She LOVES car rides and will be your travel companion. She LOVES laying in the grass on her back, wiggling like a happy little hippo. She LOVES grabbing a stuffie on her way out of her kennel. She LOVES giving affection.
Sheāll bark since sheās excited to see you and wants your attention.
Did we get YOUR attention? If you have a home where Gia can be with her people all the time sheāll be perfect for you! If you have a home that doesnāt mind a little hippo for a lap dog sheāll be perfect for you! If you have a home thatāll shower her with all the love she deserves, sheāll be perfect for you! If you want a dog that loves to give kisses sheāll be perfect for you!
Weāre open today 12-4.

Buddy and Queenie playing in the run together! They had so much fun together.
08/22/2024
Dog found in Lupton. No microchip. If yours or you know who it belongs to please contact the shelter.
08/22/2024
Weāve all had things we wished had never happened, right? Imagine being Queenie. She had a family and then she didnāt. She had a home and then she didnāt. Sheās tried hard to be the bestest girl so she could have that again. Yet, sheās still in our shelterā¦since April 9th!
She listens. She walks great on a leash. She loves to give kisses and crawl on your lap. Despite her hardship, she still gives all she has. Sheās forgiven being forgotten. Wonāt you please give this beautiful girl a new future and allow her to forget her past?
Weāre open today 12-4.
