My story

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

Rusty is always smiling, wagging his tail & eager to make new friends. He does great on a leash & is a very calm fellow. Someone come give this handsome fellow a home! When you sit, he calmly waits for pets & rewards you with kisses. He is a 3 yr old male Staffordshire terrier mix who weighs 55 lbs. Heartworm positive but Shelter Volunteer Network will help pay for his treatment.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees are: $85.00 for dogs/puppies that includes the spay/neuter, shots brought up to date, deworming, heartworm test, heartworm preventative, and microchip. Cats/kittens are $65.00 that includes spay/neuter, feline leukemia test, shots and deworming. We require that you complete an adoption application and meet with the adoption coordinator to pick out the right pet for your family. If you have pets in your home we require a vet reference. We will also need permission from your landlord if you rent. Once you have found your pet you will be entered into a contract to make sure that the pet is always provided for.

Go meet their pets

Hours of operation are Monday thru Friday from 10am until 5pm. Arrangements can be made to meet adopters/rescues after hours if needed.

More about this shelter

We are a small group in a small rural town. Our shelter has only 6 employees, 1 manager, 2 officers and 1 adoption coordinator, and 2 part time Kennel Att. Our shelter has been here for many years and is an older facility. We moved to the "New" shelter in November 2013. We can usually house about 25 cats/kittens and around 85 dogs/puppies. With it only being 5 of us, we are always in need of volunteers and welcome anytime that is offered to us. Donations are always needed also, bleach, blankets, towels, dish detergant, laundry detergent, cleaners, cat and dog toys (washable), food and water bowls, canned food, dry food (puppy and adult). We all enjoy our jobs here and hold it dear to our hearts, we are blessed to be able to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
