My story

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

Meet Pecan, the charming canine with a personality as sweet as his namesake! At around three years old, Pecan has blossomed into a wonderful companion, making strides in his journey towards doggy friendship. While he may need slow introductions with other dogs, his determination to make furry pals is evident daily. As for our feline friends, well, Pecan might never be their number one fan, but hey, everyone has their quirks, right? On the bright side, this easygoing pup is most likely kid-friendly, making him a potential best friend for your little ones. Pecan enjoys the simple pleasures in life, like napping on the dog couch (seriously, he's a pro at it), taking leisurely walks, and munching on apples – his all-time favorite treat! When he's not indulging in apples, Pecan adores gnawing on bones and being an all-around good boy. Don't be surprised if you find yourself enchanted by his big, soulful eyes and adorable paw taps to get your attention. And if you ever need a laugh, just wait for one of his notorious "dirty looks." Pecan is the king of expressions!

Pecan has truly transformed from a pup who needed a little extra TLC to a well-mannered, crate-loving, and potty-trained pooch. He's a great listener who's mastered basic commands and even learned the impressive trick of going "back." Baths and nail trims? No problem for this canine champ. Although he might snore a little and occasionally offer a gentle snort, his most endearing quality is his penchant for cuddles and scratches on his giant head. Despite his initial burst of energy, Pecan has evolved into a bit of a couch potato, opting for afternoon naps and victory laps rather than zoomies. He may not be a fan of car rides, but with such a lovable personality, who cares? Pecan, affectionately known as "Peeks," is the perfect companion for someone seeking a canine friend who's up for slow intros with other dogs and has an arsenal of expressions that will keep you entertained. So, if you're looking for a delightful addition to your family, Pecan might just be the nutty pup you've been dreaming of!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application (applicant must be at least 23 years of age). Once your application is received a volunteer will contact you to discuss your application. All references listed will be contacted, along with a call to your veterinarian to make sure your current/former pets are/were up to date on all vaccinations. We also complete a background check and home visit will be performed. Once all that is complete, and application is approved, we will arrange meet and greets with our adoptables that may be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. If a perfect match is found, an adoption contract will need to be signed, along with an adoption fee.
