Meet Jackson 🙌

Jackson has already endured a tough life in just the three short years he’s lived and desperately needs a stable, loving home.

Despite being adopted twice, he was heartbreakingly left behind both times with no explanation. He first arrived at our facility in October 2022 and was returned to us most recently in January.

Jackson CRAVES attention and would thrive in a home where he feels secure and loved. He always has the biggest smile on his face and is one of the happiest dogs in our facility. He’s described as curious, a cuddle bug, and is always wagging his tail.

Jackson is still holding onto the hope that someone will choose him forever. He’s ready to love you and just needs someone to love him back. Could you be the one to give Jackson the happy ending he deserves? 💗🏡

Here is what a Happy Hour volunteer had to say about Alabama!

“Here are our pictures from Alabama's overnight stay!

She loves to be playful, but she can be a couch potato with you too. She is house trained and plays with toys. She is very intelligent and came when called.

She was an absolute angel!”

Please considering adopting Alabama!

🐾Meet Cane🐾

Cane is a current foster who arrived at the shelter in November and is now almost 8 months old. This Shepherd mix was a favorite in our Happy Hour Program before being placed in foster care! Cane has several Report Cards describing him as well behaved, social, laid back, and loving!!

”I am fostering cane for a couple weeks and wanted to share with yall that he is fully potty trained, great on a leash, wonderful with other dogs, and most of all so stinking sweet. He loves cuddling and meeting new people.”

Cane is looking for a forever home where he can thrive with a loving family! He would love a place where he can play, explore, and enjoy plenty of affection.

📞 If you’re interested in meeting him or learning more be sure to call us or stop by the shelter.

Could your home be the perfect match for this sweet boy? 🏡🐶

🚨 URGENT FOSTER PLEA! 🚨

We desperately need emergency fosters for our available dogs so we can move the 11 dogs currently in our garage stray area into kennels. We are COMPLETELY out of space, and the only way to help them with a happy ending is by stepping up to foster or adopt.

We will be open 12 PM - 6 PM, tomorrow through Saturday—please come by the shelter to help! Even short-term fostering saves lives. If you can’t foster, please help us spread the word!

🐾 Missing a pet? You must come in person to check—questions about lost pets cannot be answered via social media.

🚨 JUST SURRENDERED & READY FOR A HOME! 🚨

Meet Piper—the sweetest 1-3 year old Corgi you’ll ever meet! This little love bug was just surrendered to us today. His brother (a Border Collie) has already found his forever home, and now it’s Piper’s turn!

🐶 Heartworm negative
💉 Needs just a few vaccines
❤️ Full of love and looking for his person!

Don’t wait—come meet him TODAY! We’re open until 6 PM, and he’s sure to get lots of interest. We CANNOT always answer comments or messages in a timely manner, so the best way to meet him is to head down to the shelter ASAP!
