**Adoptions are currently by appointment only.

**Adoptions are currently by appointment only. If you're interested in adopting, please start by clicking the "Apply for Adoption" button above** Hellllooooo everybody! My name is Zazu, and I'm just a big friendly Pittie looking for a new home. I have a positive history of interacting with other dogs, cats, kids, and even some other small critters. Did I mention that I'm also an expert at giving my people all the doggy kisses they can handle?! I'm currently working through some medical issues while staying with my foster mom, but don't worry, I'm a trooper, and I'll be right as rain in no time. If you'd like to learn more about me, give the shelter a call and ask about me!

Story
**Adoptions are currently by appointment only. If you're interested in adopting, please start by clicking the "Apply for Adoption" button above** Han Solo (or Han as we've been calling him) is a very sweet, very scared dog who is looking for a very special human to take him home and help him build up some confidence. While Han is very scared, he has never shown any aggression, and clearly wants to interact...he just needs to learn to trust. It can be very rewarding to work with a scared dog like Han, but this is going to be a slow process that requires patience and understanding. If you'd like to learn more about sweet Han, give us a call and talk to a member of the dog-team.
