Story
This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken.  They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.    Our sweet 'Luna-bug' has been waiting patiently since last February with zero interest  She’s watched the seasons change, from winter to spring to summer,  fall, now winter again and yet, she’s still here. It's breaking our hearts. Luna loves giving kisses and is as sweet as they come—but imagine not having a single person ask about you. These animals know the routine. They watch others come and go, receive attention, and get their happily-ever-afters. But Luna and our long-stay residents are still waiting for their chance. They just need someone to see how special they are. Luna is 2 years old and 40 lbs—just the perfect size for a loyal adventure buddy! She’s looking for an active home with a fenced yard and would thrive in a cat-free environment. Sh eis Dog selective.   Looking for a highly dog savvy owner with dominant breed experience.   Training classes and Fenced yard required.  *Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.February 9, 2025, 9:51 am

Story
Nothing breaks our hearts more than seeing one of our beloved shelter pets returned. Sweet Sally (formerly Cali) has been brought back to us after being in a home for over a year. The reasons? Difficulty getting along with the resident female dog and her family’s move. It’s hard not to feel a whirlwind of emotions—anger, guilt, and most of all, sadness that we’ve let her down. But we’re putting our feelings aside because the one who’s hurting most right now is Sally.  At just 2 1/2 years old and about 40 lbs, Sally is an incredibly sweet girl who adores people. She’s a little selective with other dogs, but we believe she may OK thrive in a home with a calm, male canine companion—or as the only dog, soaking up all the love herself.  Looking for active homes, she is high energy.   We’re determined to turn this tough situation into a fresh start for Sally. She deserves a family who will love her unconditionally and give her the forever home she thought she already had.  Can you be the one to give Sally her happily-ever-after? Apply online today.   **Fenced yard, obedience class required.  *Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.March 16, 2025, 6:30 pm

We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken.  They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.  9 months old.  42 lbs.   This sweet girl has been coming out of her shell more and more each day, and we’re loving every second of it. She’s been showing off her zoomies in our agility pen, and let’s be honest—her adorable markings make it look like she’s rocking bobby socks!  Hallie would benefit from having a doggie sibling, a calmer home with a fenced in yard, training so she can be the best canine citizen! Hallie is young and high energy. Hallie is ready to find a forever home where she can keep running, playing, and being her amazing self. Could that be with you? Come meet her and see if you’re the perfect match!  *Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.March 28, 2025, 12:35 pm
