Meet Behr, who's big body, big heart, and big personality are ready to charm his way right into your life! This super friendly and energetic boy is overflowing with affection, always eager to shower his people with love. Despite his fearsome name, Behr is really more of the cuddly teddy-bear variety. He can be fearful of other dogs and would prefer to be the only canine in the home—more toys and attention for him, anyway! Behr can get a little jumpy when he’s excited, but thanks to his deep love and devotion to treats, training him is sure to be a breeze. With a bit of dedication, he’ll quickly become the most talented Behr you’ve ever met! If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion with tons of heart (and an even bigger capacity for snuggles), Behr is your boy.

$125 for dogs and $100 for cats, includes spaying or neutering, rabies vaccination, and microchip.
THE BACS 60/6/60 PLAN If you’re sixty or over, and you adopt an animal who is 6 or over, you’ll get a 60% discount on the adoption fee.
You must be at least 21 years old to adopt a pet. We ask that everyone in the household come to meet the pet and we require proof that you can have a pet where you live. This can be a copy of a lease indicating that you may have a cat or dog, or any document indicating home ownership such as a mortgage statement.
There is a simple adoption application to complete which will help us advise and prepare you for your new pet. If you are adopting a dog and have another dog(s) already, we ask that you bring them to meet the dog you would like to adopt. We offer home adoption counseling visits for any of our dogs and may require it for some dogs.
In the event that more than one interested party wants to adopt an animal on the morning it becomes available, we enter the names of qualified adopters into a random drawing.
All cats and dogs adopted from the shelter will be neutered or spayed, vaccinated and microchipped before going home as your new pet. If the animal is spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, it can leave the same day. If the animal is not yet spayed or neutered, you can pick up your new pet the day after surgery.
