My story

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

Meet Paprika, the cattle dog pup with a flavor all her own! This little one may be a bit cautious around new faces and isn’t shy about giving you a bark to show just how spicy she can be! But don’t let her fiery exterior fool you—give her just a moment, and she’ll melt your heart with sweet kisses and roll over for all the belly rubs you can offer. Paprika is packed with energy and loves to play, whether it’s a high-speed game of fetch, chase, or exploring the world around her. Fast, curious, and always on the go, this girlie is a whirlwind of fun! As a cattle dog, she’ll need adopters who are ready to help her become the well-behaved, loyal companion she’s destined to be as she grows. If you’re looking for a pup with both sweetness and spice, Paprika is the pup for you!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

$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.
