Story
I am 52lbs and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $75 Meet Ella – your future best friend! Ella is a beautiful, smart girl who may be shy when first meeting new people, but once she warms up, her sweet, playful, and loyal personality shines through. She adores her people deeply and forms strong bonds, making her a truly devoted companion.  Because she loves her humans so much, Ella can be protective of them. She’ll thrive in a calm, adult-only home where she can be the center of attention and the only dog. Once she feels safe, Ella’s affectionate nature and playful spirit will brighten every day.  Looking to open your heart and home? Ella is also available for general fostering while she waits for her forever family.  All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended. All applications are considered general. Specific animals are NOT put on hold for adoption. When you visit, our adoption counselors will be able to make suggestions based on the type of pet you are looking for and help you find the best fit for your family. Animal House Shelter cannot guarantee the breeds of the adoptable animals. The animals are posted on the website as the breed or breed mix based on their physical characteristics they most resemble. We also cannot guarantee the ages of our adoptable animals or how large puppies will be when fully grown. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Story
Born: December 04, 2023 I'm 50lbs and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $450 Bianco is a high-energy boy who loves to run, explore, and take on new adventures. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys active playtime. Highly food-motivated, he’s eager to learn and always ready for a tasty treat. Bianco would thrive in a home that can match his energy and give him plenty of opportunities to stay active. He’s not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home would be best. If you're looking for a fun-loving, adventurous companion, Bianco is your guy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Noah—the clumsy, goofy sweetheart who’s growing into his big puppy body and bigger personality! He may start off shy, but once he feels safe, he’ll show you his playful, energetic, silly side. Noah loves zooming around, chewing his bone, and then curling up for a cozy nap right next to you. He’s great with other dogs once he gets to know them, crate trained, doing awesome on a leash, and almost potty trained. Cats aren’t his thing, but he’ll shower his humans with love. If you’re looking for a fun, loyal adventure buddy with a heart of gold—Noah is your guy!
