My story

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

Carla has personality for days!

Once rescued as a scared, lost dog, that is no more! Carla has truly come out of her shell and now has oodles and oodles of personality to go around. At about 2 years old, she’s a happy, smiley girl who loves showing off her joyful spirit.

With the recent snowstorm, we discovered that Carla loves playing in the snow! She’s a big girl at around 60 lbs and is enthusiastic about exercise and playtime, making her a great match for an active home.

Carla can be selective with other dogs and doesn’t appear to be a big fan of smaller dogs right off the bat, but we’re still getting to know her and learning what she’s most comfortable with.

If you’re looking for a fun, energetic companion with a big personality, Carla might just be your girl.

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.
