My personality

My story

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

Gino is a gentle 14-year-old Maltese mix with a heart full of love to give. At 14 pounds, he’s the perfect size for cozy cuddles and leisurely strolls. Gino has spent his life as the only pet in a quiet home, so he thrives in a peaceful environment where he can feel safe and secure.

While he may be a little shy at first, Gino’s true personality shines through once he’s comfortable. He is incredibly sweet, loyal, and loves nothing more than to be by your side. Gino would be the ideal companion for someone who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle and has the patience to let him settle in at his own pace.

This dapper senior is looking for a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. If you’re ready to open your heart to a calm and affectionate pup, Gino might just be the perfect match for you!

Could Gino be your new best friend? Come meet him and find out! ❤️
Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!

Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $275+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs.

Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.
