Story
My dog name is choco he is a 6 year old shiba inu ive had him since he was 6 weeks old and this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. He has epilepsy and unfortunately I'm unable to care for him at this time since I can not afford his meds due to losing my job. He's great with my two year old son but doesn't get along with other animals. He is a escape artist. I just want him to go to a great home with someone who will love him as much as my family and myself love him

Story
Meet Boba, she’s a full blooded Samoyed 2yr old girl. I’ve been fostering her for 3months and she’s ready for a permanent home. Boba is extremely affectionate and does have separation anxiety. She requires a family that will have time for her. She hates being caged up and demands to be in every room with you even when she sleeps. She prefers to sleep with you but being in the same bedroom will do. She gets along with cats/dogs/children. I would prefer she goes to a home without any other pets and older children since she loves to be center of attention. She can be a little sassy with her howls and does require a home that doesn’t care if she gets loud including neighbors as she can bark a lot if she’s left home alone. She’s a sweet girl and loves cuddling all the time. She doesn’t do great with walks on a leash. She prefers off leash and won’t run away. She needs a good back yard to play and prefers for you to be outside with her. She can play on her own but does enjoy the company more

Story
Meet, Gamora! A 2 year old, female, Bully mix. Gamora 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. Gamora 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! Gamora 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. Gamora 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. Gamora 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 Gamora 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. Gamora 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. We are open 10:30-6 Tuesday – Saturday (closed 1-2 for lunch and the last Friday of every month).

Story
Oreo is a pitbull mix who is 3 years old born Aug. 2, 2019. She’s very active and loves to play and take walks. She’s good with children and loves to cuddle. She may be a bit much at times with her energy but she is good with commands(sit/stay etc.) she needs a loving home who spends time with her and gives her love and attention. I do not recommend her to be in a home with other pets. She is okay with them but she’s an attention seeker and does not know/understand her weight(she sometimes thinks she’s a lap dog) but in all she is very loving. In the time I’ve had with her(2yrs) she has never bit or harm any other animal or child.
