My story

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

Meet Optimus Prime, an adorable, sweet and charming 3 year old who is ready to meet his forever family! This Affectionate and friendly boy is full of energy and fun, and he can't wait to find a home where he can explore, play and receive lots of love. He is curious, playful, and smart, and he loves nothing more than to play fetch with his favourite toy - a tennis ball! He came into the shelter as a stray on November 25, 2024 and was never reclaimed so he's more than ready to find his forever home. So excited to begin the next chapter of his life as part of a family who will love and care for him. If you're looking for a fun, loving and adorable new companion, look no further than Optimus Prime! This Handsome boy can't wait to meet you and begin his new life with you. Please note: Optimus Prime is awaiting his "Gotcha Day", where his future family will finally be able to take him home and begin their journey together. We ask that you please come and adopt him today!
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.
