Meet Pablo – a hopeful 8-month-old Akbash cross searching for a special kind of home.
Pablo is deeply fearful and not well socialized, so the world can feel very big and overwhelming to him. Loud noises, fast movement, and new places are scary right now—but underneath it all is a gentle boy who wants to learn what safe, patient love feels like.
Pablo will need a dedicated and experienced adopter who understands fear, can move at his pace, and is ready to commit to building his confidence from the ground up. This isn’t a quick-fix dog—it’s a journey dog. The kind where trust is earned slowly, routines are sacred, and small wins become celebrations.
A calm, predictable home with respectful humans (kids 10+), low pressure, and a structured enrichment and confidence-building plan will help Pablo grow. He needs someone willing to show him that the world doesn’t have to be so scary.
If you have the heart, time, and dedication for a shy young dog who truly needs you… Pablo is ready to try—when you are.

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
