Buck is a little dog who has clearly seen more than his fair share of hard days—but he hasn’t let that dim his spirit. When Buck arrived in our care, he was facing severe medical needs and needed immediate, intensive support. Thanks to the dedication and tireless work of our veterinary team, this brave boy is finally on the mend and showing just how much resilience he has tucked into his tiny frame. Right now, Buck is taking life one slow, careful step at a time as he continues to heal. He’s learning that soft beds, kind voices, and gentle hands are part of his new normal—and he’s soaking it all in with quiet gratitude. Buck is looking for a calm, loving home where he can finish his recovery at his own pace and enjoy the comfort and safety he’s always deserved. A soft place to land, a patient heart, and a whole lot of love are all this little survivor needs to start his next chapter.

$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.
