🐾ADOPTED🐾

Meet Abbie, a sweet and resilient 3-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd who is slowly learning to trust and love after a difficult start in life. Abbie was previously rescued from a puppy mill, where she suffered from neglect and starvation. Because of this, she is understandably shy and cautious around new people and situations at first.

Though she may take her time to warm up, once Abbie feels safe, her playful and affectionate nature shines through. She is gentle, intelligent, and eager to please, making her a wonderful companion for patient and understanding owners. Abbie enjoys quiet time and being in a calm environment, and she thrives on positive reinforcement and love.

Abbie is looking for a forever home where she can continue to heal, feel secure, and blossom into the loving, loyal friend she was always meant to be. With a little patience, Abbie will be the perfect addition to a family who values her quiet strength and gives her the time and care she deserves.

🐾Available for Adoption🐾

Meet Jewel, a sweet 8-month-old pup who's ready to shine in a loving, forever home! Jewel spent her early months in a stressful shelter environment, which has made her a bit shy at first. But once she feels safe and comfortable, her true playful and sweet nature comes out, and she's sure to steal your heart.

Jewel is a gentle and affectionate dog who loves spending time with her people. She may need a little time to warm up, but with patience and understanding, she quickly blossoms into a loving companion. Once she trusts you, she's playful, fun, and always eager for cuddles and attention.

Jewel is looking for a calm, patient home where she can continue to grow and thrive. If you're ready to offer a loving space for this sweet girl to flourish, Jewel will be a loyal and loving addition to your family.

🐾In Need of Fur-Ever Home🐾

Meet Viva, a 7-year-old dog who is truly perfect in every way. With her gentle nature, loving heart, and impeccable manners, Viva is the kind of dog that makes every day brighter. Whether she's snuggling up for some affectionate cuddles, sharing her snacks (she loves to share!), or quietly watching the birds outside, Viva brings a sense of peace and joy wherever she goes.

Viva adores the simple pleasures in life-spending time with her favorite people, enjoying tasty treats, and basking in the beauty of the world around her. She's a social butterfly when it comes to affection, always ready to curl up next to you and shower you with love. And when snack time rolls around, she's more than happy to share-Viva is a true believer in the joy of sharing, and her heart is as generous as it is sweet.

At 7 years old, Viva is the perfect mix of playful and relaxed. She enjoys short walks, cozy naps, and being surrounded by those she loves. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will share her heart (and her snacks) with you, Viva is your girl. She's ready to fill your life with love, comfort, and plenty of adventures.

Viva's adoption fee is $150. This includes: Bordetella Vaccine, DHPP Vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, Microchip, Flea Treatment, Dewormer & Spay/Neuter Surgery!

“This is Millie. I adopted her from the Wayne County Humane Society in January 2020. She was called Primrose at the time when she was with you. I do not know her exact age, but she was seven or eight at the time, so I’m estimating her to be about 12 years old now. She is a happy girl and a great companion. It took a few months for her to get adjusted to living with me, probably because she had never been in a house before. After a rough start the first several years of her life and before she came to your shelter, it is a joy to give her a happy home in her older years. I’m so thankful that you took good care of her for the few weeks that she was there!”
