My story

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

Best Friend is a charming, 2 year old male dog, who came into the shelter July 27, 2024 as a stray and unsure of shelter life but he's coming out of his shell and adjusting better every day. He’s been nothing but a sweetheart and can be a little jumpy when he gets excited. He's a friendly, affectionate, and athletic dog, who would love to find a family to call his own. He has got lots of energy and is always up for a game of fetch or a nice walk! He's a smart fella and he's eager to learn more with some guidance and direction. If you're looking for a sweet, charming, and playful companion, Best Friend is the dog for you! Come meet him today and see for yourself just how wonderful he is!
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.

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.
