My story

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

Forest is a wonderful dog. He has been at the shelter for way too long, as others are chosen before him, and yet his demeanor is always pleasant. Forrest knows a number of commands and is friendly, playful and affectionate, once he gets to know you. He is slow to warm up to strangers, so it is recommended that he be contained/crated when company comes over until he gets to know them. He does well on leash and loves to walk. He is a favorite of some of the volunteers and they enjoy walking him. We are hoping that someone will see what they do in Forest and give him a loving home. He will need to be the only pet in the home, as he doesn't do well with cats or dogs.

More about this shelter

Dogwood Animal Shelter is a non-profit, no-kill shelter.

Since its infancy, compassionate, like-minded volunteers have been the driving force behind Dogwood Animal Shelter. Through auctions and sales, a handful of dedicated people raised enough money to build its first, albeit small facility and was established as a 501(c) 3 in 1976. It was filled beyond capacity almost immediately.

The shelter is funded entirely from donations and proceeds from their Dogwood Animal Shelter Thrift Store.

After years of saving, planning and busting at the seams with fur-babies, in 2005 it was time to build a new facility with their own in-house clinic! Under the direction of Dr. John Reinhold and coupled with a very dedicated and gifted team of Veterinarians and staff, Dogwood Animal Shelter continues to offer low cost spays and neuters to the public as well as services to their shelter buddies; services to approximately 2,000 dogs and cats yearly!

Dogwood Animal Shelter began their journey of being a successful no-kill shelter in 1997, and since then has saved over 40,000 lives!
