My story

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

Bruce is a 1 year old 53 pound fixed male Lab mix. Owner surrendered due to high energy. The owner reported he loved the grandkids, played with kittens, and chihuahuas. He is a very strong puller on the leash, so still needs to learn his leash manners. Can be anxious on car rides. He was being potty trained to alert his owner, but this doesn't seem to work for him. He will most likely respond better to a potty schedule instead. He can be an escape artist with crates and be noisy. So there is some seperation anxiety when left alone. The owners moved from a country setting to an apartment setting recently, so it is suggestive that an apartment lifestyle isn't his jam. His favorite toys are the hard plastic ones from Bark.

This animal is already spayed or neutered and their adoption fee is free.

All dogs receive at least 1 distemper/parvo and Bordetella vaccine. If possible a heartworm test will be done and if negative the dog will be started on heartworm prevention. All animals receive a flea and parasite prevention/treatment and will be microchipped.

All animals can go home the same day as adoption. We will need your photo ID and you will sign some documents. Adopters will also receive a copy of the animal's medical history to date. We do not do an application process. All adoptions are first come, first serve. We do not offer holds.

We do not require in most cases that adopters bring all their families members and dogs for a meet and greet. But we do highly encourage it. We are happy to introduce the new dog to your dog(s) at the shelter. No appointment necessary.

We do offer home trials of dogs over 6 months of age for about a week. You will not need to pay the adoption fee (spay neuter deposit) ahead of time, but if you decide to adopt you will need to return to the shelter to complete the paperwork and pay the adoption deposit. If you do not wish to complete the adoption, you can bring the dog back at any time during normal business hours during your home trial period. We do not allow after hours drop off.
