Cleo might look scary when you pass by her kennel, but don't let that fool you! Although she is shy, when she comes out of her shell, she is a fiercely loyal companion! She has been in the kennel for some time and is looking for a calm, quiet home where she can relax. She would do best in a household where she is the only dog.

The adoption fee covers the spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, basic vaccinations, microchipping, and care. All basic vaccinations will be current at the time of adoption.
A potential adopter is required to fill out an adoption application which includes information regarding their home environment, current/prior pets, etc. We also require them to provide at least 2 references. A volunteer will review the application, contact the references, and provide information regarding the specific pet they are interested in adopting. If we receive a favorable response when we contact the references, the potential adopter is then required to complete the actual adoption contract. We encourage communication by email. Due to our limited staff, our office is only open part-time, but we will return all phone calls as soon as possible.
