My story

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

**I am in foster!**

Dirk is a young, gentle-hearted pup who is looking for a calm and patient family to call his own. He’s incredibly sweet and has the softest soul—you can see it in his eyes and feel it in his snuggles. While he’s still a bit nervous around new people and situations, Dirk is getting braver every day. With a little time and TLC, this silly boy is sure to blossom into the confident companion he’s meant to be.
Dirk adores other dogs and comes alive when he’s playing with his furry friends or chasing after toys. Cats? Well, they’re a little spooky right now—but we think with some guidance, he’ll come to see them as the small, curious friends they are.
Once Dirk feels safe, he’s the ultimate snuggle buddy—loyal, loving, and ready to curl up beside you for a nap or quiet evening at home. He’s a special pup with a heart of gold, just waiting for his chance to shine.
Dirk is part of our Sit, Stay, Adopt program, which focuses on dogs who need a bit of extra love and support as they adjust to the world. If you think you might be the kind and patient family Dirk is dreaming of, we’d love to introduce you.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Please come in and visit with our pets available for adoption. Once you find an animal you would like to adopt, you will be asked to fill out an adoption survey and meet with an adoption counselor. We do require landlord approval and we do not adopt out animals to live completely outside. Our adoption fees are $75 for dogs and cats under 5 years old and $55 for those 5 years and older.

Go meet their pets

More about this shelter

The shelter has very active volunteer and foster programs. Volunteers walk dogs and help with cat care. Fosters take young, shy and injured animals into their homes to prepare them for adoption. Learn more on our website and consider getting involved today!
