Story
Sadie is a very affectionate dog. She shows tons of energy while playing (which she always loves to do) and is also more than ready at all times to snuggle up for a nap. She is house trained, leash trained, and obedience trained. She loves to go on walks no matter the time. Sadie was found abandoned in the woods after being released from her house. We were told that she was likely alone for a few weeks. With that said, we believe that she may have developed some kind of anxiety disorder that prevents her from being around other dogs or animals. She has never bitten anyone. We have tried most options under the sun, to include training with a professional, to help her with her social problems, but it has been made clear that she would most benefit in a loving family with no other dogs or small children (we have noticed that she is not very patient with our baby and gives many warnings to leave her alone). She is a great companion and a good listener. Please be patient with her.

Story
Meet this sweetheart named Echo! She originally came into the shelter June 16, 2021 when her owner could no longer keep her. She was adopted in July 2021 and is now back as of January 24. 2022 when her owner said she had anxiety and could no longer keep her. She was adopted April 2023 and was living a great life until her owner is now having to move and can not keep her. So sad for Echo. It's time for the shuffling to stop and for her to find her REAL FOREVER home. She is now 6 years old, current on shots, spayed, and just a complete love. She's a volunteer favorite and it is sad seeing animals adopted and returned. Likes some male dogs too. Might you have the most perfect loving FOREVER home for sweet Echo?! Visit with her today and see what a great pup she truly is and complete your family by adding her into your family! 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 and 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.
