My story

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

Meet Merle and Melvin, a bonded pair that grew up in a difficult situation. They are very timid and spook easily. However, they do not have a mean bone in their bodies. Patience is key with these doggies, because once they open up, they are loving and cuddly guys.
Merle and Melvin will need leash training. And after they are established in your home, basic obedience training would benefit them immensely. The time and energy these dogs will need to heal will be a commitment. But we think with the right fit and dedicated owners, Merle and Melvin will blossom into amazing dogs!
We will require several meet and greets before you are able to take them home as this will help you and the boys establish a bond before integrating them into your home.
If you are interested in meeting these two love bugs, please call to make an appointment or if you have any questions pertaining to these doggies, ask for Emi.

Extra Info on Merle and Melvin:
Merle and Melvin were transferred to us from a different county on February 3rd of 2023. Due to abuse and neglect they were taken from their previous owners. They are very sensitive to loud noises or raised voices. They are also terrified of leashes. They do not like taking walks as it is a very scary experience. They would much prefer to run around in a big yard with their favorite people. Merle is the more outgoing of the two and Melvin gets courage from him. Once you have some patience and a calm demeanor, Merle and Melvin will be the most cuddly and loving dogs you will ever meet!

Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our animals. We are grateful for the opportunity to be able to work with you in choosing a new pet.

All Adoptable Animals Are:
*seen by our veterinarian *spayed or neutered
*up to date on their vaccinations *microchipped

In Order to Adopt You Must:
* be 18 years of age or older * be able to provide proof of home owner ship
*if renting, have consent of your landlord *provide vaccines on current animals

Some General Adoption Guidelines for You to Keep in Mind:
• We do NOT do adoptions as gifts.
• Dog adopters: If you own another dog you may be required to do a ‘meet and greet’ between your dog and the dog you are interested in adopting. You must provide proof of vaccines. Meet and Greets can be scheduled at any time and take place here at the shelter. Ask the staff member assisting you with your adoption for more information on the ‘meet and greet’ process.
• In the unfortunate event that your chosen animal does not work for your family, we encourage you to return the animal. We DO NOT issue refunds, however we will work with you to find an animal that is more suitable for your family or situation.


Finally, please know that we reserve the right to refuse any adoption. Please understand that we strive to make the best match for both the animal and the potential adopters.
Thank you and we look forward to working with you throughout the adoption process.
