Going into the weekend like...

This is my dog Ember, and Crystal's dog Patches.

Tater has been adopted! His home visit went well, and they have decided to keep him! Thank you for choosing us to adopt from, we appreciate you!

**With the 5 dog adoptions in the last week, all of our puppies now have regular kennels to call their temporary homes, but that means...instead of being over capacity, we're now just AT capacity! We still have Tater and Tot's 5 puppies looking for their forever homes! Please consider adopting if you've been thinking about it. Shelters are bursting at the seams, and it's not just the stereotypical "shelters are full of pitbulls". **

Our phone has been down all day...again...
Someone is supposed to be here today to look at it. It's getting late, so we're hoping by mid morning tomorrow for it to be working again.
We also have no internet, email won't be checked and messages returned until it's restored.
Facebook messages do come to my phone, so for right now that is our only form of communication. This also means we cannot run credit cards.
Sorry for any inconvenience, it makes it hard for us too.

Trenton is 17 weeks old. He was born here at the shelter on 4/18.
He's an energetic little dude who needs to start his new life in a real home.
He is neutered, up to date on shots, and FIV/FeLV tested negative.

***********FEATURED FRIDAY************
This week we have Gilbert.
He's a 6-7 year old beagle mix.
He's a laid back guy who loves nothing more than to have a comfy bed to sleep in, and a yard to sniff around.
He really seems to enjoy children!
He doesn't show much reaction to dogs, although if they are growling and barking at him, he'll do the same right back.
He is neutered, up to date on shots, and heartworm tested negative.
We don't believe Gilbert had the best life before coming to us, and it's taken him some time to adjust to being indoors. He does well now with very few potty accidents in his kennel overnight.
Gilbert's reduced adoption fee is $100. This applies to his adoption 8/9/24-8/15/24 ONLY!
If you have any questions, you can call us at (989) 343-7387 or stop in and ask for Gilbert!

08/09/2024

Lex is ready for adoption! He's 2-3 years old. He's neutered, up to date on shots, and heartworm tested negative. He's a pretty calm little guy. He doesn't seem to mind some dogs. We've never had him out playing with anyone else, and he just got neutered, so we can't do any extensive testing. We do require meet and greets if you currently have a dog in the home. If you're interested in adopting Lex, stop in and meet him or you can call us if you have any questions at (989) 343-7387.
