Story
Asiago is a beautiful and sweet lab/hound mix whose estimated DOB is 12/1/2023 and on 2/3/2026 she weighed 55 pounds. She came to us from a situation of neglect, so she is a bit shy at first. She is gaining and learning to trust humans and even enjoy some petting and affection. She melts when you hold her. Come meet Asiago today and give her the loving home that he deserves!Our adoption fee is $125 for small breed dogs under 20 pounds and $100 for all other dogs and cats unless otherwise noted in their bio. Every pet available for adoption is current on shots spayed/neutered, and microchipped. You may submit an application online for pre-approval and to set an appointment or you can visit the shelter Wednesday - Sunday from 11am - 5pm. Please note that the kennels close for pet viewing at 4:30pm.

Story
Meet Sumo: A Loyal Velcro Bully Seeking a Forever Couch Sumo is a 100+lb bundle of pure affection. At 7 years young, he is looking for a stable place to land after being abandoned by his previous owner. Sumo is the ultimate Velcro he thrives on human connection and will follow you from room to room just to stay close. He is a big, clumsy, blocky-headed guy who has no idea how large he is, which only adds to his charm. He is incredibly loving, needy for attention, and protective of his people. The Ideal Home: Only Pet: Sumo likes to be the Alpha and is best as an only dog. Patient Leader: He is a sensitive soul who experiences submissive urination when excited or nervous. He needs a calm, consistent routine. Experienced Owner: He is a smart boy who needs a firm, steady hand as he can be resistant to traditional discipline. Seeking a stable home only. Serious inquiries to ensure Sumo finds the forever home he deserves.
