Story
Meet Winston! A 3.year old tan and white male Hound mix. Winston came to us as a transfer from animal control. Since being with us, we have learned that patience is truly a virtue when it comes to Winston. When meeting new people Winston is cautious & very talkative. He has done well with both small & large dogs, however, he is picky with whom he befriends. He is a high energy dog that enjoys being outside. When in the yard Winston loves to run around & play catch. We even have him trained to work the lure course and he is doing an amazing job with it! Winston is learning basic manners like sit, walk on a leash and crate training. Winston would do best in a home without any children. He is now ready to find his FUR-ever home. For more information on how to adopt Winston, please call the shelter to see if this pet is still available for adoption. Then come to the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 10:30-6 Tuesday – Saturday (closed 1-2 for lunch and the last Friday of every month).

Story
Meet, Torah! A 1 year old, female, Bully mix. Torah loves to play! Her favorite toys have squeakers in them but, if you give her a stuffed to she will shred it in record time! LOL She enjoys being brushed and petted, she will even lay like a frog so you can do a good job brushing her. Torah loves to play in water so baby pools are a must as she likes to cool off in them and take her toys for a swim too! Torah can be timid with new faces and once she is with you a short while she warms up pretty quickly! She would do best in a home with older children 16 and up as she can be too rough when she plays. Torah needs to be your one and only pet as she does not do well with other animals so no going to the dog park with this one. Torah needs a home with a 6 foot tall fenced yard as she is very athletic and can and will easily jump over a small fence being energetic she needs plenty exercise to run and play. She is crate trained so when you leave her alone you will need to crate her as she will be naughty while you are gone! Being a smart girl Torah knows how to sit by verbal command or hand gesture. She can stand, lay down and is learning to go to her bed by and gesture too. Torah is now ready to find her loving FUR-ever home. For more information on how to adopt, please call the shelter to see if this pet is still available for adoption. Then come to the shelter for a meet and greet.
