My story

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

Ricky is a 52 pound, approximately 1 year old, neutered male, Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix type dog. Ricky, Ricky, RICKY!!! Boy oh boy is this dog a SUPERSTAR! Ricky is an incredibly smart, energetic, enthusiastic, talkative, sweet, loving young boy. Ricky has all of the qualities of a herding type dog, and if you don't know what we mean by that, he might not be the right fit for you. Ricky came to us as a stray, so we don't know anything about his background but we suspect his previous owners were not prepared for how much activity (physical AND mental) Ricky needs every day to be the best he can be. Ricky still needs a lot of work on his manners, but he is very eager to please. He has earned gold stars for being an exceptionally good running partner, and we think he could do well in a home with a canine playmate. That being said, Ricky would need to meet any other dogs in the household before going home. If you love a smart, active, go getter of a dog, Ricky may be the perfect pal for you. **All adoption candidates have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated and wormed! Adoptions include a free veterinary visit, a coupon for Feed Corral on Hwy 101, and a coupon from Mini Pet Mart. If you live in Lincoln County and have dogs in the home, they must be licensed in Lincoln County (requires current rabies vaccination) and do a meet and greet here at the shelter. If you rent, you would need permission from your landlord to have a pet. Phone messages and emails will be returned in the order they are received. You may reach us at 541-265-0720 or lcanimalshelter@co.lincoln.or.us for more information.

Meet Our Animals
To meet an animal at our Shelter, please make an appointment by calling 541-265-0720. One of our friendly Animal Care Specialists will work with you to find a good match for your family. Please bring all members of your family (including dogs if you are adopting another dog; dogs must also be licensed) for a socially distance appropriate meet and greet. If you rent, we will need landlord permission for the adoption.

How Do the Animals Come to Us?
Animals come to us lost as strays, surrendered by owners, or in protective custody due to abuse or neglect. We place all of our adoptable animals in homes or in the Second Chance Program (transporting to a rescue organization or another shelter), and we never euthanize animals for space. We provide extensive medical treatment, thanks to our Medical Fund, and all possible behavior modification training to give every animal their chance at a new life.

Keep Visiting Us!
If you don't find your perfect match with us right away, our Animal Care Specialists are willing to provide you with additional resources. You may also sign up for an alert through Adopt a Pet that will let you know when a new potential pet is posted.
