Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet this sweetheart named Blackbeard! He and his younger fur brother Chewy were surrendered over by their owner to ACO and then brought into the shelter February 9, 2022. Poor Blackbeard was missing much of his hair due probably from a flea allergy. He is all good now and his fur should begin to thicken in nicely. He is around 4 years old, now neutered, & current on shots. He’s a super happy (good sized pup 45 pounds) guy who is settling into shelter life and learning the ropes. Though he hopes his stay isn’t too long because he so badly wants a person or family to love. He loves being with his people and seems to like most dogs though he is super playful and older pups may get frustrated at first. He would love a home where someone is around much of the day and kenneled when left alone. Does have a bit of separation anxiety. This can be worked through with time and patience. He will be so worth it. Maybe you have the most perfect nurturing fun FOREVER home for Blackbeard? ! Visit with him today.
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 11-1, 2-5, Sat. 11- 4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
