My story

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

Meet Darwin!

Darwin is a terrier mix puppy who’s already showing just how strong and impressive he’s going to be. He’s growing fast — in size, confidence, and charm — and he’s got the kind of happy, lovable personality that makes friends everywhere he goes.

Darwin loves people. Seriously — anyone, everyone, no exceptions. He greets the world with enthusiasm and a wagging tail, and he’s highly treat-motivated, which makes him a fantastic candidate for structured training. With guidance, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement, this boy is going to thrive.

Darwin’s Ideal Home:
A family ready to invest in training, routines, and enrichment to help him grow into the strong, well-mannered dog he’s meant to be. If you enjoy shaping potential and watching a pup learn and succeed, Darwin will be your perfect project (and best friend).

Darwin is ready to evolve into an amazing companion — all he needs now is the right home to grow with him. 🐶✨

More about this shelter

We are the Jefferson County Humane Society and , except for our humane officers (who are paid very nominally), we are all volunteers! Our members were instrumental in getting a local levy passed to build a new and larger shelter and the doors opened in 2011. We are currently participating in Iams Home for the Holidays Program and the Purina Pets for People grant program. We are actively pursuing other grants and recently have been asked by the county to partner with them in the operation of the new shelter. Since we are a humane society, our main focus is on getting animals spayed and neutered so there are no more homeless pets. To that end, we bring in a mobile animal surgical clinic who performs spays and neuters at a reduced rate. We are always looking for volunteers to help us in our efforts and, of course, for financial contributions (we are a non-profit, 501 (c)3) and pet adopters! Other items such as food, treats, pet carriers, cages, leashes, collars, food bowls, etc. are also ALWAYS welcomed and appreciated. Please contact us if you have an item to be donated or would like to volunteer with us to try to save some of these homeless, but very loveable, dogs!
