My story

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

Bernadette may only have a few nubby teeth, but she sure knows how to put them to work when treats are involved!

This 4-year-old sweetheart was rescued as a skinny, starving stray, and ever since then she hasn’t passed up a single snack opportunity. Food is her love language, and she’s laser-focused when it comes to mealtime. Bernadette’s got the sweetest smile, complete with her adorable nubby teeth and a silly underbite that makes her even more unforgettable.

She’s also a total lovebug; great with people and always soaking up attention from anyone willing to give it. On outings with staff, Bernadette is a total star, she rides beautifully in the car, enjoys her walks and hikes, and isn’t phased one bit by bikes or people passing by. She’s simply happiest outside, basking in the sunshine and living her best life.

Now she’s ready for a forever home where she’ll never have to worry about going hungry again and where she can keep showing off that goofy grin.

There is also an altering charge of $85.00 for a male and $95.00 for a female. All animals receive vaccines, microchip identification, frontline treatments.

Go meet their pets

We are opened 7 days a week between the hours of 12:00-5:00pm for adoptions. No appt is necessary and we welcome prospective adopters to bring their current pet for a meet and greet with one of our orphans.
