I was actually quite glad I ended up in the shelter. I needed some help! I not only had a serious bladder infection and bladder stones but I was in labor and my poor puppies were eventually stillborn. I also had infections in my eyes. The good doggie-doctor got my stones out and spayed me and ordered some eye drops for me. After that I was feeling better but my teeth had some really bad infections. My jaw had even broken and the ends healed but not together. (It obviously didn’t prevent me from eating, though.) But now that I had a dental, got some rotten teeth pulled and have taken antibiotics, I am feeling even a little spunky sometimes and I am quite a happy dog!
I do like to be wherever you are in the house and I like to wander around outside to check things out in the yard. I get along great with other dogs — I mostly ignore them but I never get upset or jealous with them. I will play with toys though at times.
While I like to go outside to do my business, I was tired and sore at first plus I am very overweight and have bad knees. I got carried out there most of the time and still sometimes wait to see if I am going to get that luxury. I can get up and down a few steps but a long flight will be a problem for me at least until I get more in shape.

Our adoption fee for dogs that are not seniors is $220. All dogs are spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccines and heartworm.
Our adoption process includes an application, personal and vet reference checks, and a home visit. We do not ship dogs under any circumstances.
We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check our front page for the dates of our next Pet Parade. Appointments outside of Pet Parade to visit our dogs are only available after an application has been filled out, and processing has begun.
Please be kind to our volunteers. E-mail inquiries will be answered much faster than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.
