My story

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

Here is a heartwarming biography for Coco, the adoptable female dog: she came into the shelter March 23, 2024 when her owners could no longer keep her. Coco is a friendly, affectionate, playful, and smart dog who came in around 1 year 7 months old and current on shots and now spayed as of June 2024. She is an adult dog, but she still has the energy and curiosity of a puppy. Coco is a very loving dog and enjoys giving kisses to her human friends. She is an intelligent dog who is always eager to learn new tricks and commands. She is a very well-behaved dog, wants to make those around her happy and smile. Coco would do best in a fun and loving home where she can just enjoy the good life. Coco's ideal home would be with someone who will play and do fun things with her but come in to settle down watching a movie while snuggling on the couch. She would benefit from loving and consistent routine. She is a wonderful companion who will bring lots of love and joy to her new home. Visit with Coco 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. 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.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
