My story

Meet this adorable fella named Licker! (He is currently in a foster home with 2 other dogs and doing great.) He came into the shelter June 23-25, 2021 when his family could no longer keep him a s asked ACO to come & pick him up. He was involved in an accident shortly after coming in and is on the mend. He also suffers from seizures so he will need a FOREVER home that can provide him with his daily medication to keep him seizure free. A veterinarian will have to closely monitor him while on medication to make sure it’s the right dose and helping as it’s intended…bloodwork periodically will be required as well. Since being on the medication he has been great and has blossomed into this happy spunky fun loving pup. Licker is around 5 years old, current on shots, now neutered (November 2021) and just a sweetheart…great size too. Maybe you have the most perfect loving FOREVER home for Licker?! Visit with him today & adopt him into your heart and home!
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
