For the well-being of our dogs, our kennels are closed to the public for general viewing. If you are interested in one of our dogs, please call 1-800-452-0114 for more information or stop by our shelters 12:00pm- 4:30pm, 7 days a week and speak to one of our adoption counselors.~ I can live in a single family home or condo.~ I want to live with kids over age 14.*~ I have not had much experience with cats or dogs but am willing to consider sharing my home with a furry friend.*~ I am a high energy kind of dog and am looking for a home where I can get lots of exercise every day.~ I am a great dog with lots of potential. I need a family that has recently owned an XL Guardian breed.*~ I am still learning and want to get off to a great start in my new home, so I will need to continue my training.~ I have some special needs but still have lots of life to live and love to give. Please ask the adoption counselor to explain when you visit with me.This cutie is not your average puppy! Currently around 10 months old, this baby boy is still growing! We anticipate Bear will grow to be close to, or over 100 pounds. In addition to the large size, he will likely have a big personality to match! Having one parent be a Guardian/ Working breed (Cane Corso) and one parent being a Herding/ Working breed (Belgian Malinois) has made for an interesting mix! We will not be sure until he grows up what his true personality and behavior will be like, but a lot of positive training and socialization with help him learn great life skills! If you have experience with XL Guardian breed dogs and are looking for a new project, please let the adoption staff know!

I need a family with general dog experience.~ I have some special needs but still have lots of life to live and love to give. Please ask the adoption counselor to explain when you visit with me.Having only one eye and 3 1/2 legs doesn`t stop Troop from living his best life! As evident from his physical appearance Troop has been through some stuff. We`ve learned that he earned his name as a Trooper and he takes all things in stride. Although he may look a little silly to some people, that doesn`t slow him down. Troop is a lovely boy that enjoys exploring, playing and resting under the desk, using the staffs feet as a pillow. His squishy personality has won over all of the staff here and we can`t wait to find Troop a loving home to rest his big ole` noggin in forever. If you think you can keep up with this fun loving guy, please ask an adoption counselor for more information!
