Story
Bella is the sweetest and smartest dog Ive ever met. Shes super gentle and loving with all people of all ages (infant to elderly) and is the same with all dogs and cats. Shes always very friendly when meeting anyone new and has never had any behavior issues. She is very submissive and sensitive so she willll need lots of love and encouragement and confidence building. Shes very energetic and loves walks and hikes. I got her from a family member who couldnt have pets due to medical reasons but she was previously in a shelter before that. Bella is the most gentle dog with all people and children of all ages. She has never bit or been aggressive with anyone.

Story
Rogue aka Roguey Boguey, Roguey Bear, is a sweet and incredibly smart 5year old (Sept) German Shepherd. She came to us from a relative who could not care for her. We were hoping to give her the best home, but with 3 small children and very busy schedules, we have decided to attempt finding her a family that will give her all the love she deserves. She is extremely gentle with our children (2-5-7), one of the smartest dogs we have had, and just wants and needs endless hugs and kisses (and walks). She is definitely a shepherd and will likely attach herself to one person that is her everything. We also have 2 cats and they even play together but I think she would love having a canine companion that is lighthearted and playful. She is not a big barker but does bark when someone walks by or up to the house. She loves going along to anything and everything that she can. Soccer games, parks, even school drop off and pick up! Please let me know if you would like to meet her!

Story
Meet Hallow, a spirited white husky mix whose playful personality shines through every day. With his fluffy coat, Hallow is a delightful companion who loves to frolic and play with his favorite toys. His enthusiasm for fun is infectious, and he can often be found chasing after balls or tugging on ropes, sometimes a little too zealously! Hallow's zest for life is matched only by his selective palate; he is quite the picky eater and has a discerning taste when it comes to his meals. Despite his charming nature, Hallow has a few quirks that make him uniquely him. He likes to keep his area spotless, showcasing his tidy habits, but he also has a strong sense of ownership when it comes to his food and toys. Sharing isn’t in his playbook, and he prefers to keep his treasures all to himself. With Hallow, you’ll find a loyal friend who brings joy and energy to any home, along with a dash of his own distinct personality! Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $275+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.

Story
Travis is a charming German Shorthaired Pointer who longs to be your one-and-only companion, thriving as the only animal in the home. His loyalty is unwavering, and he loves to be close to his person, sharing in every adventure from morning walks to cozy evenings. With a naturally gentle disposition, Travis is friendly with new people and responds well to training, showing off his intelligence and willingness to learn with each session. His enthusiasm for bonding makes him a joy to work with, and he’s eager to show his dedication and affection every day. Though Travis is loving and warm, he has a sensitive side and can be startled by sudden noises and quick movements. More importantly, Travis is so bonded with his humans that he may feel sadness when left alone for long periods. A calm and steady environment helps him feel secure, and he does best with a family who can be with him throughout the day or help ease his worry with gentle reassurance. For someone seeking a loyal friend who’s happiest by their side, Travis is a perfect match. He’s ready to be your shadow, your steadfast companion, and your biggest fan—all he needs is a loving home where he can be your number one.
