Story
Jeremy has returned to the shelter through no fault of his own. Unfortunately, there has been a change in the family dynamic and sadly neither party is in a position to take him, so he was returned to the safety of the shelter where we are going to find this young man another family to love him. He has been spending his days keeping his owner company while they worked from home, so we are unsure how he is going to handle long days home alone. He was trusted to roam the home freely because he`s potty trained and a good boy. He is not crate trained but with a little patience hell get it if you work outside the home. Reportedly he has been good with kids of all ages, but he does jump up to greet. He is reactive to both dogs and cats so he needs to be the only pet, but he is an awesome companion and has enough love to satisfy any family. Don`t let Jeremy wait long.

Story
My step daughter adopted her as a puppy, but she has gone to college and I can't afford to keep her. She's good with cats, chickens, older kids, she should be watched with younger children. She can be protective of the house and her people. She's been around livestock, she shows quite a bit of interest, but could be trained to ignore them I believe. She would do best in a home with a stable confident owner. She's can be bossy. She can be on the fence about other dogs. She's always lived with them, but introducing them can be tricky. She is very trainable, is very affectionate, bonds tightly with her people, and she has some anxiety that needs to worked on.

Story
This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
