My story

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

Oh Rufus! Your face is the is the smooshiest Our 2 year old wiry bearded hunk of love makes a friend to everyone he meets! He is around 65lbs, so he is a bigger boy. He has spent most of his life in a pound or shelter due to people failing him and no fault of his own. We hope to find him his forever. Due to the lack of attention and direction he does need help with manners. Due to his size and energy we would recommend older kids that are familiar with a dogs energy. He also would do best in a fenced in yard. He went to a foster home but didn't respond to their boundary collar and since they lived on a busy hwy, felt nervous for him, and now he is back. He has the saddest eyes now. If you would be able to give him direction and stability, he will be the most loving and loyal boy! Come meet him today at Happy Tails!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All pet adoptions require a completed adoption application. Our office staff and volunteers act as matchmakers to find animals good homes.

The adoption fee is designed to offset some of the expenses we incur in caring for each animal.

Dogs - $200
Puppies - $250 (6 months and younger)
Cats - $25 (seniors), $65 (adult cats)
Kittens - $80 (kittens 6 months and under)
