My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! I'm a young Red Heeler. My name is Happy! I am good with other dogs and kids over 12. Never been around cats so I don't know if I am good with them or not. I am High Energy with excitement. I am leash trained but could use some work as I tend to pull a bit to get to our next adventure. I am also crate trained and mostly house trained. I just need a regular schedule and some PAWsitive reinforcement to be your perfect girl. No Health or Behavioral problems. I love to play with toys and love cuddles. I find men to be very very scary and might hide in a corner until they are gone. I just want to learn and play and grow! Looking for someone who is as excited as I am about each day and the patience to help me become the most confident "good girl" that I can be.

Additional adoption info

We require an in-person application for all dogs and cats. A home visit will be required for larger dogs, who require a fenced in yard. Our animals are only adopted out after they have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Our adoption fees are $80 for cats and $110+ for dogs. Puppies are $130. Cash, check, credit or debit card are all accepted. Sometimes the fee will be higher for a dog, if it is a purebred. We would like to keep our adoptions local; in the event the adoption does not work out, the animal must come back to us. Adopters must sign an agreement to this effect. We do consider out of state adopters, please phone us before coming. We are a private shelter run mostly by volunteers. Please be patient if we take a little time to respond. Volunteers check emails and respond to phone calls.

Those adopting a cat must bring a carrier to transport the cat home safely.

We are a 501(c)3 organization. Our mission is to rescue homeless as well as owner released cats and dogs, whose owners can no longer care for them due to difficult circumstances.
