My story

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

Meet Harvey - 80 pounds of gentle giant with puppy-dog eyes perfected to an art form. This baby is big, but hes very self-aware of his size and moves through the world with surprising grace. Harvey is polite, well-mannered, and never rude - just a whole lot of love wrapped in a very big body.<br/><br/>Harvey is energetic and playful, especially when toys or water are involved. He loves fetch and shows off the cutest deer-like hops when hes chasing after his prize. Splashing around in water and playing with toys are some of his favorite ways to burn energy, and he truly shines in open spaces like the park, where he can run and play freely.<br/><br/>At heart, Harvey is a homebody. Hes the kind of dog who wants to hang out with his people, enjoy a cozy home life, and maybe go on the occasional hike - nothing too crazy. While he isnt overly focused on people when out and about, he does enjoy their presence and thrives being part of a household.<br/><br/>Harvey is social with other dogs and enjoys playing. He would likely do well paired with a canine companion who matches his playful energy.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a big, sweet, playful boy whos just as happy splashing in water as he is lounging at home with his people, Harvey might be your perfect match.

Their adoption process

1.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

With hundreds of pets at the shelter and in foster, we recommend checking our website before visiting in person.

2.

Meet the Pet

We recommend bringing the whole family, including resident dogs, to meet the pet you're interested in adopting to ensure it's a good match.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

Our adoption team will review the adoption contract with you. Adoption fees are $30 for dogs and $5 for cats unless during a special promo.

Additional adoption info

All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis and must be made in person. As a high-intake shelter, most of the pets that come to us are strays, meaning we have limited background history on the pet, such as health, behavioral or living history. All adoptions include the animal's spay/neuter procedure, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and city license. All adoptions include a 7 day free trial with our training partner, GoodPup to help ease the transition!
