I wont lie-my life didnt start out easy. I was left behind, sick, skinny, and hurting in more ways than one. I didnt know if people could be kind. I didnt know if anyone would see me for more than what Id been through.<br/><br/>But even after everything... I still believe in love and that people are truly awesome! Hi Im Homer - the handsomest, sweetest most down to earth fella at the shelter right now. Ive learned how to play with tennis balls and even learned how to do a sit on command AND put my front paw for a paw/handshake! Ohhhhh, I love to learn new things and be with the human race. YES - despite the pain and neglect I faced, I still want to be with people. I was adopted out to a wonderful family for a short time. Turns out I love car rides, kids who will love me back, long naps next to my person, lying in the sunshine, a blanket that I can use as my pacifier, and all the affection you can muster. Im even housebroken and crate trained.<br/><br/>I hope someone out there is looking for a dog like me-quiet, loyal, and endlessly forgiving....and FUN. When I look into your eyes, I dont just see a person-I see possibility. A future. A friend.<br/><br/>Ive healed - Im stronger, learned trust, and grew back the fur I lost to fleas and fear. My ears are now great, my body filled out (maybe a bit too much), and my heart? Full of love for you.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a dog who will appreciate every kind word, every gentle touch, every promise kept... Im right here.<br/><br/>With all my heart,<br/>Homer<br/><br/>Featuring photos by Krystle-Lee Photography

- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.
- Pet adoption fees range from $60 to $350. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals needing our help.
