Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Michele (mballenger58@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. Online Adoption Application › Please read all details in bio before applying for adoption!Link is our very special pup. He is a blind neuro boy and because of this it will take time and patience for him to adjust. He may act out in fear. He occasionaly has night terrors. He will need to get familiar with his new person's scent and voice to know they are near. We are looking for a special person, preferably who has experience with a blind pup and Is willing to discuss and work with him. Link is very fearful of other animals and would do best in a home with only adult humans and a fenced yard.  He will always be a pup. Link has an amazing personality and is very loving, especially to those who give him belly rubs and food (his two favorite things). He knows his crate is a safe place and gets very comfortable. He loves to run and play in the yard. He will be some work for the right individual who can help him blossom.  Link is medium in size, he has grown more than expected.CARE's adoption process is done by the applicant using their cell at the adoption meeting to access the Shelterluv platform to agree to the adoption contract and pay the $250 adoption fee by credit or debit card. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:53 pm

She came to the shelter through no fault of her own, and she’s hoping her next chapter is forever.Star is already house trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to the right family. She has a medium to high energy level and absolutely loves to play, so she’ll thrive with someone who can keep up with her fun-loving spirit. Whether it’s toys, games, or just spending time together, Star is happiest when she’s engaged and included.She’s a total attention lover and forms strong bonds with her people. Star does have a bit of a jealous streak—she really wants to be your one and only center of attention! Because of this, she would do best as the only animal in the home. She also prefers to eat without other pets nearby, as she can be protective of her food.Star isn’t a fan of being left alone for long periods, so she’s looking for a home where she can enjoy plenty of companionship and affection. In return, she’ll give you loyalty, love, and lots of personality. If you’re looking for a playful, devoted companion who will keep life bright and full of energy, Star might just be your perfect match.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Meet Dexter! ??A, 33lb, 10-month-old bundle Mini Aussie mix with endless puppy energy and a heart full of love! Dexter is the life of the party, famous for his lightning-fast zoomies around the yard and his curious nose that just has to sniff and investigate everything. Whether it’s a new scent on the breeze or something interesting in the grass, Dexter is always ready for an adventure.Playtime is his favorite time! He absolutely loves stuffy toys (especially the ones with squeakers!). Toss a ball, and you’ll see just how fast those puppy legs can go. He’s playful, silly, and guaranteed to keep you smiling. Dexter is also incredibly friendly. He adores people and gets along great with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion for a social household. His sweet nature and wagging tail make fast friends wherever he goes.Because he’s still very much a puppy, Dexter would thrive in an active home that’s ready to embrace his energy and continue his training with patience and consistency. With guidance, exercise, and lots of love, he’s sure to grow into an amazing lifelong best friend.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.

Story
Meet Buck! Buck is a 60lb, 8-year-old, Australian Shepherd who found his way to the shelter through no fault of his own, and he’s ready to start his next chapter with a loving family. This handsome boy still has plenty of pep in his step and a medium-to-high energy level, so he enjoys playtime, walks, and chances to stretch his legs.According to his previous owner, Buck is house trained and has experience living in a home. He does well with young to middle-aged children and has a friendly, social personality with other dogs—he’s the type who will happily invite other pups to play when he meets them.Buck can get a little worried when left alone for long periods and may experience some separation anxiety, so he’d do best with a family that can give him plenty of companionship and reassurance. He’s also not a fan of storms, and like many dogs, appreciates a safe, cozy place to relax when the weather gets loud.Overall, Buck is a loving, playful companion who just needs a second chance. With patience, attention, and a warm home, he’s sure to be a loyal best friend for years to come.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only.
