My story

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

Hi... Im Sprite <br/><br/>Im a 2-year-old Maltese mix with a very gentle heart. Im incredibly sweet, but meeting new people can be scary for me at first. I spent my whole young life in a puppy mill, so Im just beginning to learn how kind and wonderful the world can be.<br/><br/>Loud noises and fast movements can make me nervous, so Id do best in a calm home with older kids (8+) who understand that I need patience and gentle handling. Once I realize Im safe, though, I turn into a total love bug who wants nothing more than to be close to you.<br/><br/>Im very food motivated (treats are the fastest way to my heart!), and they help me build confidence as I learn new things. With a little time, kindness, and a few tasty snacks, I promise my trust-and love-will grow quickly.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a loyal companion who will cherish a warm lap and shower you with quiet affection, I would love to curl up with you and start my new, happy life together

We are reserving Mondays and Tuesdays for appointments for members of the public who are immunocompromised or are still uncomfortable being in large crowds due to COVID-19.

Adoption Requirements:
- Adopter must be 18 years of age or older.
- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.
- Pet adoption fees range from $60 to $350. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals needing our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for animals available for adoption until we can place them in a loving home. The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand.
