AVAIL WED July 24th!
Please check our website for updates as we update our pets & profiles multiple times daily. If the pet is NO LONGER on our site he/she has been adopted.
You can also click here and scroll down to FURRY NEWS AND TAILS - to see if our shelter is running any ADOPTION SPECIALS OR DISCOUNTS. Our shelter periodically runs adoption specials to promote adoptions during certain times of the year or as a way to promote national shelter adoption events!
Please note: We DO NOT hold, take deposits or reserve ANY animals for ANY reason. We do NOT allow gift adoptions or surprise adoptions –we highly advise ALL children BE present when adopting a pet from our shelter especially children under 10 years old and/or children that have never lived with or been exposed at any length to pets. This is for the safety of our pets and your children.
If you have another dog we recommend bringing him/her if you are considering adopting another dog/puppy to make sure they get along- please note that if you are bringing YOUR family dog/s they should be up to date on all vaccinations prior to visiting our shelter as they will be exposed to a variety of pets that have come to us with known/unknown vaccination status/medical histories. There is always the possibility of them being exposed to infectious environments.
Click here to make sure you have everything necessary prior to adoption or visiting.

Training your new Puppy/Dog? We HIGHLY RECOMMEND crate training…by crate training you keep your dog/puppy safe, increase speed of housebreaking and avoid all your valuables from being chewed and/or destroyed. Click here to learn more about WHY you should crate train
Each wire crate comes complete with a dual latching door to safely secure pets. Folds for effortless storage or travel. Includes a slide-out floor tray and a removable divider panel. Assembly instructions included.
Our shelter has inexpensive puppy/dog starter kits and 100% of the purchase supports the shelter pets! All crates come with the important divider panel (many crates you can find at pet supply stores DO NOT include these panels). The panel allows you to purchase ONE crate for the entire life of the pet and you don’t need to keep buying bigger crates as the pet grows. This saves A LOT of money!!!!
