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
Adelaid is a gentle and sweet white and cream Pyrenees mix, whose calm and loving nature makes her a cherished companion. With her soft, fluffy coat and expressive eyes, she exudes an aura of serenity that draws everyone in. Despite her large size, Adelaid is known for her tenderness, always eager to offer affection and comfort. She keeps her kennel impeccably clean, showing her quiet sense of order and respect for her space. Though she is incredibly sweet, Adelaid would benefit from someone who can help her build confidence and guide her through new experiences. Her playful yet soothing demeanor makes Adelaid the perfect balance between energetic play and serene companionship. She could be comfortable around other animals, as long as introductions are done properly, showcasing her adaptable and patient nature. Adelaid loves attention, but her kindness and patience are what truly set her apart. Her loyalty and gentle spirit make her beloved by all who know her, and with the right guidance, she will continue to blossom into an even more confident and loving companion. 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
Markie is not your average pit bull—she’s a delightful black and white bundle of joy with a heart full of enthusiasm. This adorable lady lives life with a unique energy, always wagging her tail like it’s the most important task in the world. She’s a house hippo in the truest sense, content to curl up and take in the comforts of her home, but when it’s time to play, she’s all in. Markie’s enthusiasm is contagious. Whether she’s greeting her humans after a long day or just showing excitement over the smallest things, her tail is always wagging at full speed. It’s as though she wants to share all of her happiness with the world, one enthusiastic tail wag at a time. Though she’s got a natural charm, Markie is still a work in progress when it comes to learning new commands. She knows how to sit on command, and she’s proud of it, but she’s eager to continue her training. Her intelligence shines through in her willingness to learn, and with a bit of patience and encouragement, there’s no doubt she’ll master more commands in no time. But Markie’s true superpower is her boundless love and joy for life. Whether she's curling up on the couch or looking for her next adventure, she exudes an infectious spirit that makes everyone around her smile. No matter where life takes her, Markie is always ready to embrace it with a wagging tail and an open heart.
