My story

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

Meet this handsome fella named Darwin! He came into the shelter as a stray on March 22, 2024 and was never reclaimed so he’s now awaiting his “gotcha day”! He came in around 4 years old and is now up to date on vaccinations. He’s a sweet boy who is settling in but hopes his stay will not be too long. He is a producer of his own tunes…sounds like a motorcycle when being raved up when he gets playing. Not it’s not the kennel cough. He likes being around his people and sometimes he will jump up on you to say hello but we are working with him on that…since he is a bigger dog. He loves being outside and soaking up all of the body rubs one has to share. Smart and eager to learn and please. Would love a home where someone is around most of the day and a home that will help him settle in and learn his new way of life once adopted from the shelter. Maybe you have the most perfect loving FOREVER home for Darwin?! Stop by for a visit with him today!

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
