Meet Amber, a 4 year old female Pit bull mix. She came to us as a stray. She is sweet and very playful. She loves playing ball and running around. Amber loves going for walks and would benefit from an active owner. She seems to be house trained.
We are still getting to know her so we are not sure how she is around cats.
Amber is a happy girl and is looking for someone to love her.

Please call the shelter to set up a meet and greet and if you have any other questions about her.

Adopted!
Meet Louie, a 4 year old male Pug who is looking for his forever home. He is sweet and good around dogs. He loves being around people and gets attached to his person quite quickly. He is not fully house trained, so he would need someone who is willing to work on that with him.
Louie loves to lounge and snuggle and would make a great companion for someone.

Meet Ivy, a sweet 4 year old female schnauzer mix. She loves lounging and going for walks. She is sweet but can be shy. She can be reactive to meeting new people, but warms up after some time and if you approach slowly.

Ivy would prefer to be the only dog in the home and would do best with someone who is home often.
We are not sure how she is with cats or children.

If Ivy seems like a fit for you, please call the shelter to set up a meet and greet! 🐶
