My story

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

If you're looking for a loving, beautiful pup, Tia is the one for you! This affectionate, curious, friendly, gentle and smart pup is a young girl (8 months old), who was found as a stray on March 13, 2025. She was brought into the shelter with her sister, and unfortunately, her owner never came to claim her. When Tia first arrived, she was a bit shy and unsure of shelter life. However, thanks to the dedication and love of the staff and volunteers, she has come out of her shell and has begun to thrive. Tia is a sweet girl who warms up nicely once she knows you, and we believe that she will continue to flourish in a loving home environment where she feels safe and secure. , Tia has a lot of love to give and will make a great companion for someone or a family willing to have patience and be committed to helping guide her into new home and life. She is a pup who likes to take her time opening up to new people and situations, but once she does, she's extremely loyal and affectionate. Tia is an all-around great dog and she's sure to bring a lot of joy into her new forever home. We recommend that you bring in your dog for a meet and greet to see if they are a good match if you have other dogs.
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.
