My story

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

Meet Maverick, an 8-year-old charming and fun-loving senior dog! Maverick may be a little older, but he's still full of energy, love, and affection. He's a sweet boy who would love nothing more than to find a loving forever home where he can spend his golden years. Maverick is an affectionate and friendly dog who loves to make new human friends. He's a charming & loves nothing more than to soak up all the attention from his humans. He's also an expert fetch-player and can spend lots of time chasing after his beloved tennis ball. Maverick loves to make his humans happy, and his sweet and playful nature will surely bring joy into your life. Maverick is a special dog who is deserving of a wonderful forever home. He is a loving and happy dog who loves to make people around him smile. He came into the shelter on July 10, 2024 as a stray and is settling in nicely but hopes his stay will be short. and is hoping to find his forever home soon. If you're looking for a funny, charming, and loving furry companion, Maverick is the dog for you.
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.
