My story

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

Stella is a senior female dog around 10 years old and with a lot of love to give. She is affectionate and quiet, but can be a little curious and shy when meeting new people. Stella is looking for a quiet, calm and caring forever home where she can live out her golden years. Stella may be senior, but she has a lot of pep in her step, love and companionship to give to the right family. If you're after a sweet and gentle dog, Stella is the one for you! She came into the shelter Sept 16, 2024 and hopes her stay will be short. Maybe you can make that a reality?!
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.
