Story
Meet Harlow! Harlow is approximately 1 year old and is thought to be a possible Border Collie-type mix. Harlow was seen running on his own for about 4 weeks. During this time, he would be seen instigating play with dogs in the neighborhood, but would get spooked and run anytime someone tried to contain him. Eventually, someone was able to gain his trust and after a month of being scared and alone, he was brought to safety! We don't know if he was dumped and abandoned by his family, or if he just found himself lost, but either way, we promised him the best future we could provide! Harlow is still decompressing and understandably overwhelmed, so we're taking things one day at a time. He's very sweet and friendly, and even though he's still insecure (totally expected after what he's been through!), he turns to the closest human for reassurance and comfort. Harlow might spook easily, so safe containment anytime he's outdoors will be very important. This could certainly improve over time after he's settled with a new family and familiar with voices/commands, but until he feels fully safe and bonded with someone, a leash or a fence would be best. Harlow should do well with other pets and respectful children as long as everyone is properly introduced and supervised. He would benefit from a family who is willing to work with him on anything he might not know (his past is unknown at this time). Breeds like Harlow tend to be quick learners and bond quickly with their humans. If you have a little extra patience, we know Harlow is going to be a wonderful family pet! We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved: https://www.co.monroe.wi.us/home/showpublisheddocument/35564 (please email this PDF to monroecountydogshelter@gmail.com) Harlow is now neutered & current on vaccines. His adoption fee is $200.

Story
UPDATE on 10/8/25, Lacy tested positive for heartworm. She will begin treatment, and will benefit from a foster or adoptive home who can provide her with a quiet environment during this treatment. She will need restricted activity and her family would need to coordinate with our vet for her medications and infusion dates. Meet Lacy! Lacy is approximately 6 years old and is thought to be a possible Australian Cattle Dog type mix. Lacy, along with over 80 dogs, was removed from a property in WI before coming to our facility. Unfortunately, Lacy lived in horrendous conditions and will be needing a family who understands her recent trauma and is patient with her during this transition. She is incredibly sweet, OK with being handled, and loves humans, so that's definitely a plus! What she will need help with is basically the dynamics of living as a beloved pet. This could include things like leash walking, car rides, and exploring the outside world. Lacy is obviously used to being housed around other animals, including other dogs and small animals. Because of this, we think she'd likely prefer a home with other animals as she finds comfort being around her housemates here at the shelter. So far, she is doing great in her kennel at the shelter and will likely adjust well in a new home if she has an area she can decompress and resort to if she needs some quiet time. This darling little dog has been through so much already, but she's going to blossom even more once she has a family to call her own who can give her consistency, patience and love. We are doing all meet n' greets BY APPOINTMENT ONLY after an adoption application has been approved. Please fill out the following PDF Application and email to monroecountydogshelter@gmail.com https://www.co.monroe.wi.us/home/showpublisheddocument/35564 Lacy will be fully vaccinated & spayed prior to adoption. Her adoption fee is $200.
