My story

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

Yorka is a sweetheart who loves to share her affection and make new friends. She is an affectionate 5 year old pup whos current on shots and loves to being around her human friends. Yorka is loyal, funny and playful, she's a good companion and a great listener. She is a cute dog with a big heart who is always ready for a walk around the park. Yorka is a lovely medium-sized dog, and she is a good listener. She came to the shelter on September 3rd, 2024, when her owner's health prevented them from taking care of her. Yorka would love to meet you and shower you with kisses!
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.
