My story

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

What better way to start hunkering down for the winter than with a cuddly big bear? Meet Griswold Bear (aka Grizzly Bear) this handsome stray came to us when a good samaritan could no longer house him. Griswold Bear was reportedly pretty good with his potty habits, patient with kids, and a pretty good walker! We aren't entirely sure how he would feel about other dogs, so we recommend slow introductions before taking him home. We do think he would do best in a home without small animals as he's shown an intense interest in small critters on his walks. If you're interested in inviting this guy to your den then stop on by to meet him!

We invite you to visit the shelter locations and meet the animals and the adoption team!

Our adoption process is aimed at matching you, your family and your current pets with our animals for adoption. An adoption counselor will introduce you to our animals in a private meeting room. We will share information about the animal's medical and behavioral needs as well as their history.

When you find the right pet for you and your family, the adoption counselor will assist you in completing the proper paperwork. This process includes signing an adoption contract, reviewing medical history and providing proper pet care information.

What you will need in order to adopt:

A valid photo ID with your current address.

We recommend all members of the household meeting the animal before adopting.

If you are interested in adopting a dog and have other dog(s) living in your household, it is recommended that all dogs meet each other at the shelter.
