Story
This is Chester, 3-year old purebred German Shepherd male. He is neutered and up to date with all shots. Highly trainable with zero health related issues; his hips were x-rayed at a very young age and showed no sign of dysplasia. Chester is quirky and weird. He is often sensitive and shy but has no problems being out in public/social settings with a handler that he trusts and respects. He does not like everyone and he often feels triggered around new people and new settings. On the other side of his introvert character is an intelligent, athletic, and resolutely persistent dog. He enjoys just about everything from playing fetch to exploring hiking trails with the people he loves. Chester needs an experienced handler and/or handlers who can provide upward of 3 hours everyday to care for him and stimulate him mentally/physically. This is a dog for someone who is capable of providing and enforcing rules, routines, and structure consistently on a daily basis.

Story
Russ is a good dog just has trouble with resource guarding. The family is just too busy to give home the time he needs for training. He likes to play fetch, tug, and go out for walks. Although he is not leash trained. He’s energetic, intelligent, and stubborn. He is 4 yrs old. He would need an individual who likes the outdoors, and wants an all day companion.

Story
What a better way to start a post, with a dog named Snow for the first snowfall. I came in to the shelter running loose. My owner stated he could not reclaim me. I was found running in the park, with another dog. My real name is Snow and I do know it very well. I get along with dogs, but I do not like to share my space with cats. I love to roll on my back for belly rubs. I would do best with older children. I do like to jump up and give hugs. I like to lay and play in the mud (hence my face). I am a big fan of dog treats. I am crate trained, and I am doing well with potty training.

Story
I’m Lorna. I came in to the shelter as a stray. I had a bandana and a light on my collar but no name tag, sadly. No one ever came in to reclaim me. The shelter named me and I have been responding to it. I was adopted but returned due to not getting along with the adopters cats. I will now be placed in a home with no cats. I have been given some more time to come out of my shell here, and get some training. I have been in multiple play groups here with other dogs and I have done great. Lots of playing and friendly behaviors. The shelter staff has had me interact the same with about every dog I meet and really I just match the same energy the other dog gives off. What the shelter has learned about me is that I am an absolute toy hog. I want all the toys. I love toys. They’re my favorite thing in life. I’m more of a laid back mind my own business type of gal. I want nothing more than to just lay on a dog bed and chew a nyla bone or run around with a rope. I easily entertain myself. I am potty trained and doing great. I’m a real life girl version of Scooby doo. I’m hoping someone’s falls in love with my adorable face and takes me home with them.All dogs are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested, and microchipped before going home. They are current on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives.Anyone can come and do a walk through of our adoption areas Monday thru Friday 12pm-430pm. We do not place holds on shelter pets, so becoming pre-approved will help prevent you from missing out on the pet you`d like to adopt. The shelter has to have an approved application in order to schedule a meet n greet, and get dogs out of the kennels! Please be patient with us as it can take 24-48 hours to process an application. We will email you, or call you with an approval or denial. Please be diligent when checking your email. Approved applications are kept on file for one year.

Story
Hi! I’m Paxton. I am 6 years old and 60 pounds. I came in as a stray, and I can’t believe no one came in for me. I’m the ultimate dog tester here. I’m a staff favorite. The shelter staff will almost be sad when I leave, but they know someone out there is going to give me the best home. I am a submissive boy that just wants to be around. I am laid back, but at the same time I am always down to play with another dog. I’m just a lover. The volunteers say I’m a great cuddler. I am doing well with potty training but I do need to go frequently during the day, because I will pee in my kennel. I’m just a ham bone and love to be around.

Story
I’m Sparkee, I am 3 years old and 60 pounds. I came in with Dior. I was a stray and my family put in an adoption application for me, but didn’t want me back after they found out I had to get neutered. I get along with female dogs and can’t live with cats. I am a happy go lucky boy happy to meet every one. I do great with people and enjoy laying in your lap and chewing toys. I am such a goofy dog when I went to my vet appointment I ran right into the glass door. I love chewing my bones. I know how to sit and I’m doing well with potty training.
