My personality

My story

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

Vidalia is a quiet sweetheart who has so much love to give! She was surrendered over to the shelter December 30, 2024 when her owner could no longer keep her. She is a 9 year old girlie with a friendly personality but likes a quiet and low key lifestyle. She enjoys relaxing on the couch and getting lots of gentle pets from her favorite people. She's a smart girl who is always up for some treats and knows some basic commands. She would do best in a calm home where someone can give her the extra attention she deserves. Seems a bit down on her luck and sad but thanks to the love of the volunteers and staff she's settling in slowly but surely. She is very sweet but can be a little shy at first, so she is looking for a gentle and patient family that can give her time to warm up and settle in. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share lots of cuddles with, Vidalia is the one for you!
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.
