My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet this handsome fella named Ernesto! He came into the shelter as a stray April 15, 2023 and was never reclaimed so he’s now awaiting his “gotcha day”! He is 4 years old, current on shots, and so excited to meet his new person or family. He is a happy boy who walks well on the leash and has a sweet and loving personality. He loves loves loves a pool. He will play fetch with you for a while and then needs a break to go cool off in the pool. Ernesto does not like cats but seems to like some dogs. Maybe you have the most perfect FOREVER home for Ernesto? Visit with him and sweet what a great guy he is and open up your heart and home to him.
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. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. 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.
