Meet Rosebud, the lovable, wiggly, hippo girl who’s sure to catch your eye with her smile for miles and gorgeous merle coat to match! She’s as silly as she is sweet, always ready for a playful moment bouncing around you or a cozy cuddle session sprawled on her back, but her favorite thing in the world is being surrounded by her people, sharing her infectious good mood and all the cuddles and kisses she possibly can. Though Rosebud came to us with a large wound on her chest, she’s healing beautifully and doesn’t let it slow her down for a second! It might take her a little time to warm up to new people—she can be just a bit cautious at first—but once she trusts you, she's all about the snuggles, belly rubs, and being your loyal companion. She’s a resilient girl who continues to bring joy and affection to everyone around her. She also appears to be housetrained. If you’re looking for a big-hearted, loving, playful friend to share your days with, Rosebud is the girl for you!

$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.
