My personality

My story

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

Rumba is a volunteer favorite for many reasons. While her cropped ears make her look a little tough, she’s really just a big ol' softie underneath. Rumba loves human affection and will greet you by jumping up and licking your face before asking for some treats and belly rubs. She's a big sweetie and will try to sit on your lap for pets, and then will happily go sit in her bed and chill on her own. Rumba is an enthusiastic walker and may pull on leash because she likes to walk at a brisk pace, but with some training and treats, we're confident that she'll learn loose-leash walking in no time. Rumba would also make a fun running buddy, as she is great at matching pace and loves to go, but she's generally just happy to be outside and walking. Rumba also appears to be interested and friendly with other dogs and is housetrained. Rumba is a lover-girl at heart, so don't miss out on this sweetheart!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

$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.
