My personality

My story

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

Hi there! I'm Marlin, and I am looking for a loving home as a senior dog. (I am currently in a foster home and loving it. I have 2 fur siblings and they have helped me settle in until my real FOREVER home comes. Call the shelter for a meet and greet if you think I may be a good addition to your family.) Though I may be older (9 years young) , I still have a lot of love to give and a long, happy life ahead of me! I am a sweet, affectionate, and friendly pooch who loves to be around my favorite people. I enjoy meeting new people and getting all the love and pets I can...though I can be a little shy initially. I am a laid-back, easy-going kind of guy and I am very curious about the world around me. I love to sniff around and explore my surroundings. Everyone says I am the absolute sweetest and could make a great companion pup for anyone looking a sweet loving loyal pup. I am fully vetted and house trained too. If you are looking for a mellow, sweet, and adorable dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me! I promise to bring lots of love and joy into your life and your home.
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.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
