Meet Maté: A Vocal Shepherd Looking for a Confident, Understanding Home
Maté is a 6-year-old shepherd with a strong personality and classic breed traits. She is very vocal and enjoys communicating with her people. Maté does well with people and forms strong bonds, but she does experience high anxiety and will need a dedicated adopter willing to help her build confidence through patience, structure, and consistency.
Maté would do best in a home with calm, well-mannered dogs, or as a single dog where she can focus on her relationship with her person. Experience with shepherds or similar working breeds would be a strong asset, as she is very much a shepherd in both behavior and needs.
Maté is looking for a confident, understanding home that can provide routine, guidance, and reassurance. With the right support, she has the potential to thrive and become a deeply loyal companion.

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.
