My story

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

Meet Max — The Handsome Escape Artist with a Heart of Gold! 🐾❤️
This sweet and striking boy is Max, a 2.5-year-old pup who was surrendered to the shelter on October 9, 2025, after his previous owner could no longer manage his clever escape antics. Don’t let that nickname “Houdini” scare you off—Max is just a curious guy who loves to explore and be near his people!
Max is fully vetted and full of love. He appears to have some vision difficulty in his remaining good eye, but it doesn’t slow him down or dull his spirit one bit. In fact, Max is incredibly affectionate and adores every moment spent with those he trusts. He’s loyal, loving, and always eager for connection.
Max would thrive in a secure home with a tall fenced-in yard where he can run, play, and stretch his legs safely—followed by some quality cuddle time inside with his people. He’s not just looking for a home; he’s looking for his person—someone who will give him the safety, structure, and love he deserves.
Come by and meet Max. You might just find your new best friend waiting with a wagging tail and a hopeful heart. 🐶💕

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
