DOB: 2/11/2022Breed: Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier mix-Neutered Male 50lbs-Microchipped & fully vaccinated-Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative*Adoption Fee $300*A little bit about me… Hey there! I’m Alfred. I know I might not make the best first impression from inside my kennel. This has been my “home” for a long time, and I can come off a little strong when meeting new people. Please don’t let that stop you from getting to know me! I just take a little time building trust, but once you’re in, you’re in for life. I tend to warm up to women a little faster, but no matter who you are, if you give me a chance, I’ll show you my sweet and loyal side. I love going on long walks and playing fetch. Give me a long-lasting chew toy or a bone, and I’ll be the happiest pup around. I’ve spent most of my life waiting for my person. Could it be you? The highlights…-Guardian at heart-I display clean kennel behavior -I’d make a great hiking buddy-Very devoted to my peopleMy ideal home would include…-Patience is key. I may take time to adjust to a new home environment. Time, consistency, and positive reinforcement will help me as I learn.-Ongoing training and socialization. After spending most of my time in a shelter, I will have gaps in my social skills with people and other animals. Structed training, firm leadership, and controlled introductions to new situations will be essential.-Exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs with limited past experiences often have pent-up energy and curiosity. Regular exercise, enrichment activities, and structured routine will help me thrive

DOB: 5/28/2025 Breed: Shar Pei mix-Spayed female 35lbs-Microchipped & fully vaccinated-Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative*Adoption Fee $400*A little bit about me… Hey everybody, I’m Daisy Mae! I’m a rambunctious girl with a tomboy personality and a constant need for fun. I absolutely love anything that involves water, so be ready to get splashed! I can also be pretty clumsy but am guaranteed to keep you laughing with my goofy antics. I’m still learning my leash manners and how to focus, but I promise I’m trying! I’ll need someone who will be firm with me and help guide me so that I don’t think I run the show. With the right structure, I’ll blossom into the amazing companion I’m meant to be. If you’re looking for a happy pup who brings endless entertainment, come meet me!The highlights…-Very rambunctious-I will need all basic training -I love playing in water!-Silly personalityKey points to know…-Consistent Training & Structure: Shar Pei/Lab mixes are smart but can be stubborn and energetic. A routine with clear boundaries, positive reinforcement, and consistent training will help them thrive and grow into well-mannered adults. -Daily Exercise in a Must: This breed has a lot of energy. Regular walks, playtime, and mental stimulation (puzzles, chew toys, training games) are essential to keep them happy and prevent destructive boredom behaviors.-Socialization Early on Makes a Huge Difference: Expose them to new people, animals, and environments while they’re young. This helps balance the Shar Pei’s naturally cautious side with the Lab’s friendliness, leading to a confident, well-adjusted companion.

DOB: 08/16/2023 Breed: Goldendoodle mixSpayed female 61lbsMicrochipped & fully vaccinatedNegative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative*Adoption Fee $500*A little bit about me… Hi, I’m Atlanta! I’m a big girl with a sharp mind, and a whole lot of enthusiasm for life. I can be very sweet and affectionate once I feel comfortable, but I’ll be honest, I like to do things my way sometimes. I know my manners, I just occasionally choose to test them. One of my absolute favorite things is water! I also love toys and can happily play fetch again and again. I’m strong, energetic, and always ready for my next adventure, which means I’ll need continued leash training and a confident handler to help guide me. With the right person who enjoys training, playing, and a dog with a little sass, I’ll make a fun, loyal, and loving companion.The highlights…-I love playing in water-Regular grooming is a must -Very stubborn-Weary of strangers at firstKey points to know…-I’m still learning my manners. At 2 years old. I have lots of energy and a big personality. I can be stubborn and a little bratty, so I’ll need consistent rules and guidance to help me be my best self.-I’m smart and I know it. I catch on quickly, but I like to test boundaries. Positive training, patience, and follow-through will go a long way with me.-I need structure, not short cuts. Training, mental enrichment, and daily engagement are important for me. I’ll thrive with someone who enjoys working with a dog who keeps things interesting.

DOB: 08/02/2024 Breed: Pitbull mix-Neutered male 30lbs-Microchipped & fully vaccinated-Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative*Adoption Fee $350*A little bit about me… What’s up everybody?! My friends call me Hyde, but you can call me your new best friend! I’m a rowdy little pup who’s eager to start a new life. I’ve got a lot to learn and was hoping you’d be the one to want to show me! Making dog buddies is easy for me, but I do like to play a little rough and will need some work on toning it down. Keeping me socialized will be ideal and beneficial for the both of us. My manners are worked on daily, but keep in mind I am still in my puppy stage and will need firm training to be taught where to focus and direct my attention. I have a lot of potential and would love to meet you!The highlights…-I will need all basic training-Very sweet -I can be stubborn-Tall fence is required! I am an escape artistMy ideal home would include…-A secure yard: I was recently returned due to my constant escaping. I can climb fences and jump short walls.-Keeping the enrichment activities very frequent: I need a lot of mental stimulation to keep my developing brain happy and healthy.-Someone(s) with previous puppy experience who is willing to put in the work that will be needed to help me grow into a well rounded boy.-Required boundaries to be set right away so that I understand that I do not get to do whatever I want, when I want. With structure and routine, I will be successful in my new life.
