My story

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

Meet Alexander – A Gentle Heart Looking for a Patient Home

Alexander is an almost 7-year-old male dog who is searching for a quiet, adult-only home where he can feel secure and move at his own pace. He’s shy when first meeting new people and may need multiple meet-and-greets to build confidence, but with patience and consistency, he slowly opens up and forms meaningful bonds.

Alexander does well with calm dogs, and a meet-and-greet with any resident dog is required to ensure compatibility. He has also passed his cat test, making him a potential match for a home with cats. Due to his sensitive nature, he cannot be placed in a home with children and will thrive best in a predictable, low-stress environment.

Once he feels comfortable, Alexander truly enjoys running and long walks. He walks well on leash and benefits from regular exercise as part of his routine. He’s a dog who blossoms with time, structure, and gentle guidance.

Alexander is looking for an understanding adopter who will give him the space he needs to feel safe and the patience to let trust grow naturally. For the right person, Alexander will be a rewarding and loyal companion who proves that slow friendships can be the strongest ones.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
