My story

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

*** I have a cool video starring ME for you to watch! Click through my pics, and youandamp;#39;ll find it there! ***andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Movin, groovin, and full of fun. My nameandamp;#39;s Joe!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;The first thing youandamp;#39;ll notice about me is that Iandamp;#39;m SUPER smart. I already know to sit, shake, lay down, and come! Plus, Iandamp;#39;m eager to learn, and Iandamp;#39;m sure you could teach me numerous other tricks if we put our minds to it. Sometimes I can get a little excited and jumpy, but asking me to sit reminds me to be a perfect gentleman.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Guess what? Iandamp;#39;m dog-friendly too! I have lots of doggy friends at the shelter, and I love to play rough and tumble with them. If you already have a canine companion, thereandamp;#39;s no doubt that weandamp;#39;ll be fast friends! Weandamp;#39;ll both wear each other out, then take a long nap on the couch to finish off the day.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;What do you say? Ready to take me home? I canandamp;#39;t wait to meet you!

- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.
- Pet adoption fees range from $60 to $350. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals needing our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for animals available for adoption until we can place them in a loving home. The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand.
