Animal of the day! 🐾 Sarah 💖 Age: 5 months Breed: Chesapeake Bay/labrador X Good with kids: ✔️ Good with dogs: ✔️ Good with cats: ❓ Sarah came in as a stray and went unclaimed. We are very happy that she came in when she did, otherwise she probably would have met her demise as she was seen wandering in the road and almost got hit! 😟 A Good Samaritan called the PD and brought her in. She is a playful little girl WHO LOVES a game of fetch! She would make a great retriever, as she brings it back to you, and even drops it for you almost every time you ask! 🎾 (With a little coaxing) She is starting to be taught some manners when it comes to jumping, but she is catching on quickly! She is chipped, and will be spayed this coming week. She is available for adoption now, so get your apps in now, and come say hi! Please be mindful that when you adopt a puppy, they are a 10-15 year commitment. As they grow, they need to be taught obedience, manners and be properly socialized. The time spent doing these things, is minimal compared to the lifelong love, loyalty and friendship you will get in return. ❤️🐾🏡 Fill out an application here! 👇 https://hsburnettcty.org/adoption-application/

Animal of the day! 🐾 NANCY Good with dogs: ✔️ Good with cats: ✔️ (can be trained) Good with kids: ✔️ This sweet 6 month old lab/pit mix is the whole package! She is young enough so training now will give you a great head start towards her development to her older years! She loves to play, but still has a tendency to bite while she does. She’s a spitfire, full of energy, love, and commitment! She would love to have another furry friend in the house to keep her occupied! She is almost completely potty trained-even during the long overnight shift, she hardly has accidents. Please be aware that a puppy is a 10-15 year commitment. This includes training and socializing, and going through their terror phase of biting on, but not limited to: couches, cords, shoes, table legs, clothes, etc. Patience and consistency is key to her development!

Say hello to Shelli! Age: 4 Adoption fee: $145 Good with cats: ✔️ Good with dogs: ✔️ (if they are respectful) Good with kids: ✔️ Shelli is a complete attention hog, but isn’t overly fond of being picked up.

She LOVES butt scratches (thank you to one of our kennel techs for getting and making this video) as you can see, and is a very affectionate lady. She obviously shows her love for you 😻 She has good manners, and likes to be at the window, watching the outside world, but wonders why it keeps passing her by, day after day. 🌎 This sweet lady would make a great addition to any household!

Animals of the day! 🐾 Sid (black and white) and Nancy (black) Age: 6 months Breed: Collie/Pit X? Weight: 35 pounds Good with dogs: ✔️ Good with kids: ✔️ Good with cats: ❓ Both of these adorable pups were dumped and picked up, and brought in. Sid is already learning sit really easily, while Nancy gets a bit more distracted 😂 They both need manners, are doing well with potty training, and basic obedience, and as all puppies, they’re very excitable! This dynamic duo will need lots of patience and love, as they will do all the naughty puppy things! They are a 10-15 year commitment, needing taught boundaries, manners and commands. Both are very food motivated, so it’s easy to get their attention. Sid likes the treats, but Nancy prefers the praise over the treats, but she will take both 😊 Lots of toys, teethers, patience and love are in store for these pups’ future, but don’t let that scare you. It’s easiest when it’s started at puppy-hood! Fill out an application here! 👇 https://hsburnettcty.org/adoption-application/

Animal of the day! 🐾🐕‍🦺 Bear 🐻 Age: 8 months Breed: German Shepherd Weight: 60 pounds Good with cats: ✔️ (chases, but won’t hurt) Good with dogs: ❓ Good with kids: ✔️ above 10 Bear is a beautiful, black beauty that came in abandoned by his owner, so family was taking care of him, but couldn’t keep him. He is under 1 year old, so he needs manners, but he has been around cats and kids above 10. He seems a little skeptical of other dogs, but we are working on that. He’s very food motivated, loves to be outside, and be a little Velcro buddy. He likes to have you within his sights 👀 He is still adjusting to the shelter environment, but he’s been doing pretty good so far. He is a 10-15 year commitment. You will need to help train basic obedience, manners, socializing, and he might chew or get into things he shouldn’t. His ears and black coloring will draw you in, and his puppy dog eyes will keep you there. He is a looker for sure, and he is super smart! 🧠 Make sure you get a light up collar at night, because unless he smiles, or gives you a side eye, you won’t be able to see him! 😂 He’s a black beauty for sure!

Animal of the day! 🐾🐈 Mocha 🧋 Age: 7 years Breed: DLH Good with cats: ✔️ Good with dogs: ✔️ Good with kids: ✔️ Mocha is a mature, spayed female who enjoys the company of other cats. She can be a bit of a bully at times, but she does appreciate the company. One of our techs was cleaning some ears, and found out that Mocha had a BLAST with a (clean of course) Q-Tip! 😹 She still has some playtime in her, but loves to eat her food, sun bathe, and enjoy her views to the outside world. 🌎 She seems very interested in dogs, usually approaching the glass door when we have one out, so it’s a safe assumption she doesn’t mind dogs. She appreciates attention, but will give you a friendly swat if she’s done with you. She is typically one of you’re within reach, she will be rubbing against you for some attention. If your giving it to someone else, she will butt in to get it herself! Fill out an application here! 👇 https://hsburnettcty.org/adoption-application/

Animal of the day! 🐾 Shadow 🕶️ Age: 1 year Breed: DSH Weight: 10 pounds Good with kids: ✔️ Good with dogs: ❌ Good with cats: ✔️ Shadow is a laid back young man, who is very focused on his humans. He loves people, usually being one of the first to greet you when you walk into a room, meow-ing away wanting some attention. He plays a little, but usually he lays down when he plays. He loves having other cats around, but he is unsure about dogs. His calm demeanor makes him good with kids, young and older, women and men. He is a submissive boy, getting the brunt from the more dominant cats, so he would appreciate a home with another cat that suits his personality.

He doesn’t like to go outside in the rain, but he will with an emotional support buddy. 😊 He is house trained, crate trained, and just the gentlest of souls!

SENIOR SATURDAY! Rosco 🤴 Age: 12 Breed: Rot X Weight: 80 Good with kids: ✔️ Good with dogs: ❌ Good with cats: ❌ Mr. Rosco is a handsome Rottweiler mix that is going on 12 years old. He walks great on a leash, loves his naps, and has some great overall manners. He has some anxiety going to the vet, but lucky for everyone involved, he is muzzle trained! We would hate to see him live out the remainder of his days in a kennel. He would need a home where he is the only animal in the house, and with lots of toys! He loves to chew on things, so those hard, really long lasting toys, or some cheap ones where they’re easy to replace, would be best for him!

Animal of the day! 🐾🐕 Denali Age: 3.5 months Breed: Aussie X Weight: 20 pounds Good with dogs: ✔️ Good with cats: ✔️ Good with kids: ✔️ This young man is an all around package. He’s little, cute, affectionate and still has a wee bit of puppy breath! He is young enough to be acclimated to cats, but he has been around dogs. The bigger ones are a little intimidating to him, but he moves along without a care in the world! He needs someone who is 100% committed to him through all the stages in his life-potty training, socializing, obedience, and general manners. The best place to start with that is at the puppy stage! Please understand that a puppy is a 10-15 year commitment. He will bite, chew and tear up things that he is not supposed to just like any other baby. Let’s get this young boy home! His brother was previously adopted, and he is missing a playmate! Here is an adoption application! 👇 https://hsburnettcty.org/adoption-application/

Animal of the day! 🐾🐈 Say hello to Miss Spider Age: 2 years Breed: Domestic Shorthair Weight: Currently dropping those LB’s, but 14 Good with dogs: ✔️ Good with kids: ✔️ Good with cats: ❌ Spider is a sweet and sassy female (yes, female) that loves attention! She will follow you around parading her Boss like attitude, and beg for your affection sometimes. She loves to lounge around on a nice cushy bed, or better yet, in your arms for a short little nap. But her naps when she is held don’t last very long. Since she is a chubby kitty, she doesn’t mind being on her back, and will sometimes lick or give you some little love bites when you’re rubbing her Buddha belly. She was close to 18 pounds at one point, but she’s been doing very well on her diet to get ready for her summer bod. 👙 If she gets annoyed or irritated, she will let you know. Usually a little warning is all she needs to give. (With kids, or dogs) She certainly has a Queen of the Coop attitude and flaunts it very confidently. She is a sweet young lady and would really thrive in any type of home setting as long as there are no other felines in the house. She has been in our care almost half of her life. 🥺 If you would like to come see her, fill out an application! (You will fall in love!) 😻 https://hsburnettcty.org/adoption-application/

Animal of the day! 🐾🐕‍🦺 KNOX Age: 2 years Breed: Pero Majorero/Shepherd X Weight: 60 pounds Good with cats: ❌ Good with dogs: ✔️ Good with kids: ✔️ Knox is a true gentleman. He has such good manners, eager to share his love and comes when called! He knows basic commands, loves to be on your lap, and will clean up any mess you happen to make. (If it’s food 😂) His calm and well mannered demeanor would be perfect if you have kids in the home. (Of course they should always be respectful of the animals) He loves to explore any new surroundings, but he loves his people more and will stay close to your side. He has a loyalty that shows no bounds, and his undeniable devotion to his people is what makes him such a happy boy. Of course he is food motivated, wicked smart and very eager to please!

Animal of the day! 🐾🐕‍🦺 Tiny 🦴 Age: 2 Breed: Great Dane Mix Weight: 95lbs Color: Merle Good with dogs: ❌ Good with cats: ❌ Good with kids: Over 12 Tiny is a handsome boy with the most eye catching coat color, and some lighter brown eyes that draw you in like sand does at a beach. 🏖️ He has some reactive responses to strangers, young kids, other dogs (if they’re very close) and he does not like cats. We would recommend a home with a fenced in yard, and someone who has the time to work with him on some of his triggers. He has never bit, but he lunges. We are currently working on muzzle conditioning, and BAT (behavior adjustment training) to help him self soothe and know that not everyone or everything is a threat. He mellows out nicely in a home setting, but the significantly higher stress environment of the shelter does not do good for his anxiety. Given his breed, he has natural loyalty to one person. He loves all people he has bonded with, but you can always tell who his favorites are. 💙 When he is uncomfortable, he has warning signs that are easy to spot and easy to correct if done right away. (All parts of training that 99% of dogs need) He will be your protector, your blanket, foot warmer, cuddle boy…the list goes on! He has a big, deep bark (which is intimidating, let’s be honest) but most dogs sense nervousness or others being scared, so they react accordingly. He loves being outside, will paw at the door when he needs to go out, knows sit, lay down, and as long as you tell him, he takes treats very gently! We’re also working on shake, and stay. He loves to give hugs, and his embrace will just melt your heart! Tiny has been sponsored, so with an approved application, he is free to a great home! (His sponsor will also help with some training if he is remotely close by. Serious inquires only. Fill out an adoption application here! 👇 https://hsburnettcty.org/adoption-application/

Animal of the day! 🐾🐕 ⭐️Gracie⭐️ Age: 2.5 years Breed: American Pit Weight: 50 pounds Good with cats: ❌ Good with dogs:✔️ (no female dogs) Good with kids: ✔️ Gracie is such a sweet, cuddly girl. While she doesn’t mind most male dogs. She has an alpha female personality, so she would thrive best in a home without any cats, or other lady dogs. She’s a big bigger than a pocket pitty, but all 50 pounds is solid muscle 💪🏼 She knows Sit, Shake, come, and loved playing tug of war! She will play fetch, but she doesn’t give up her toy easily 😂 She loves attention she can get from anyone. She pulls on the leash, but does great with a harness. She loves car rides, and rides so nicely, enjoying the new views and smells. She obviously is something pretty special-after 5 minutes, someone decided they wanted her so bad, they stole her away from us. (Good thing we have such an abundance of followers, we got her back!) Gracie is such a nice young lady. She knows her family is out there, and will come take her home. Is that you? Fill out an application here! 👇 https://hsburnettcty.org/adoption-application/
