Jake is a vibrant young dog bursting with curiosity and a zest for life. Growing up in the shelter has made Jake a bit wary of new people, as he's still learning who he can count on. However, once he gets to know you, Jake truly shines! He's friendly, affectionate, and loves engaging with staff and volunteers. He is especially sociable with other dogs, making him a great candidate for a multi-dog household if introductions go well. He's outgoing, eager to explore, and always ready for the next adventure! Jake has some typical puppy habits, like jumping up to greet people when he gets excited, so he’ll need a family that’s patient and committed to consistent training to help him polish his manners. But he’s a quick learner, and with his treat motivation and desire to please, he’s sure to catch on fast! He’s also been working on his housetraining and is getting better each day, so with a little guidance, he’ll soon have that mastered too. If you’re ready to put in the time, Jake will reward you with loyalty, love, and an unbreakable bond. He’s all set to grow into a devoted, lifelong family member, ready to make his forever home the happiest place on earth!

$125 for dogs and $100 for cats, includes spaying or neutering, rabies vaccination, and microchip.
THE BACS 60/6/60 PLAN If you’re sixty or over, and you adopt an animal who is 6 or over, you’ll get a 60% discount on the adoption fee.
You must be at least 21 years old to adopt a pet. We ask that everyone in the household come to meet the pet and we require proof that you can have a pet where you live. This can be a copy of a lease indicating that you may have a cat or dog, or any document indicating home ownership such as a mortgage statement.
There is a simple adoption application to complete which will help us advise and prepare you for your new pet. If you are adopting a dog and have another dog(s) already, we ask that you bring them to meet the dog you would like to adopt. We offer home adoption counseling visits for any of our dogs and may require it for some dogs.
In the event that more than one interested party wants to adopt an animal on the morning it becomes available, we enter the names of qualified adopters into a random drawing.
All cats and dogs adopted from the shelter will be neutered or spayed, vaccinated and microchipped before going home as your new pet. If the animal is spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, it can leave the same day. If the animal is not yet spayed or neutered, you can pick up your new pet the day after surgery.
