My story

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

Oliver is a very sweet dog! He is very much a people dog - he would sleep in my lap, play in my lap, always stay near me on our hikes in the woods. He is cuddly and eager to please. He gets along well with other dogs and, if my cat would have allowed it, cats too. As a normal 4-month old puppy he is mouthy. He tends to bite down hard and will need training to learn how to properly play with people. He is a teething puppy. He is not yet house trained. Oliver is definitely a scent dog - on our hikes his nose is always to the ground and he found lots of goodies (ugh) in the woods. He slept in a crate at night and, once we were out of sight, was quiet until morning. We are taking applications for him at this time. Once it is time we will go over all of the applications and pick the first qualified application for their personality and needs. Please remember we cannot guarantee size of any puppy when full grown.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The whole process is easy and takes a matter of in-office minutes. While we like for our animals to find homes, we require adopting families to meet in our shelter. That way you can meet your new family member and make sure he/she is the one for you. Then we do the paperwork which takes only a little time. We look forward to meeting you.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

You can come to visit or adopt one of our animals from ten a.m. until four p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and from noon to four p.m. on Sundays.
