My story

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

Hi there! This special girl is Violet <3 . She is one of our favorite dogs here at the shelter! Honestly, one of us would have likely taken her home by now, but she likes cats just a little too much, and we all have cats! Violet loves to go for walks, chase balls, and play with her people. Don't let her age fool you, she is still so full of love and life! Once she is done playing, she simply wants to cuddle up and watch T.V with you! We recommend a home without small children, only because of how excited Violet gets when she sees people-she loves to jump around and may knock them over. If you have older kids, she would be fantastic with them and likely wear them out for you ;-). 

Someone please come give this senior girl a Furever home OR a temporary foster until we find the right fit for her. It simply isn't fair for such a sweet senior girl to be stuck in a shelter. She just needs a home where she will be the only pet. I promise you won't regret it! She is a top-notch girl with a sweet personality <3. We know you will love her just as much as we do!

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application be filled out (can be done online or in person). Allow 3 business days to process. Contact the shelter to check on status of application if you do not hear from us in 3 days. Upon approval, fees are $85 for a cat and $150-$250 for a dog. This includes vaccinations and altering. Renters need to demonstrate approval of landlord to have pets. Home visit may be done at the discretion of the shelter. Our adoption contract specifies adopters must comply with local animal ordinances and have current pets neutered if not already done. Animals must be returned to us if owner is no longer able to care for them

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 11am to 4:30 pm. Please call and make an appointment, as we usually only have 1-2 staff members at the shelter at a time.

More about this shelter

We are a private non-profit limited intake no kill shelter that has been serving the county since 1978. We try to take in and care for as many animals as our small shelter can handle. We are an adoption center and not to be confused with Animal Control. We cannot pick up stray animals, that has to be done by the county. Thank you and we look forward to adopting out to you!
