Story
Loki is still searching for his furever Valentine 💝 Loki has been at the shelter for 434 days, making this his second Valentine's Day without a home 💔 Loki is the sweetest boy who deserves the best home. He has come a long way from the scared, starving boy who was left in a hotel room. Loki loves going on walks with our volunteers, hanging out in the office for his one on one time, and getting all the love from his shelter family. Despite us making the shelter feel like home as much as possible, it's not the same as a furever home. Loki recently was a hero and went to the Petwellness Center, where he donated blood to a dog in need. ❤️‍🩹 Loki is 6 years old & the bestest boy all around 🥹 Loki does need to be the only animal in the home and a home with no small children. To apply to adopt Loki, fill out our adoption application.

Meesha is anxiously awaiting for her Christmas miracle of a furever home. Meesha is a petite girl with a big attitude. She is a year pittie mix weighing around 35lbs. She is a sweet girl who zooms around the office trying to soak up all the love she can get. She likes to play with toys and loves treats. She has been going on walks with our volunteer dog walkers to learn how to properly walk on a leash and learn some leash manners. Meesha needs a patient owner who can work with her through her quirks and give her the love & patience she deserves. She does ok with some other dogs (her size or larger) but needs a home with no children or cats. Her adoption fee is $130. To apply fill out our adoption application.

Drifter's name fits him perfectly. We are the third shelter he has been in this year. We have promised him that this will be the last shelter he will ever live in. He has only been in shelters because his owner gave up on him. He is a playful, energetic and smart boy. He would be great for a hiking buddy and a cuddle buddy.
