Story
Say hello to our wonderful boy Oliver! Hansome Ollie came in as a stray, so we don't know a ton about him, though we have done some investigating and found out some information! Oliver is a young dalmatian mixed with a pittie. He arrived in rather rough shape, with many scars on his face and head and MANY fly bites. We can only imagine what he went through prior to becoming an HSNWIA resident, so we are thankful that he is here. He is a very sweet boy who loves everyone! He doesn't have a ton of manners, so his adopter must be willing to work with him! He gets along great with other dogs and cannot wait to find his forever home! Oliver is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. If you are interested in him, please submit an adoption application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.

Story
Check out our gorgeous girl Lilly! Lilly came in due to no fault of her own. She is a loving and energetic girl who loves to play with toys! She loves to play fetch, but she won't always bring the ball back to you! She loves all of her new human friends once she learns that they aren't scary! Lilly is dog-selective, so we do require a meet and greet at the shelter prior to adoption to ensure that it is a good fit. She has lived with other dogs and cats, but she isn't a huge fan of when cats when they swat at her or give her "the business". She is a very smart girl that learns tricks and skills quite quickly! If Lilly sounds like someone you would like to take home, submit an application for her! Lilly is up to date on her vaccinations and is spayed. If you are interested in Lilly, please submit an application, which can be found on our website at humanesocietyofnwia.com.

Story
Take a look at our stunning girl Ellie! This sweet girl breaks our hearts. She came in to us as a stray after being tied to a street out on Highway 86. She had managed to wiggle out of her harness and was running the highway by the time the police got there to bring her to the shelter. By the time she got to the shelter, she was terrified and had no idea what was going on. When she first came in, Ellie had zero confidence and didn't really know how to be a dog. It has been a long road, but she is doing GREAT with learning some manners and learning that not all humans are bad, as she definitely had some trauma prior to showing up on our doorstep. She does have a little more work to do, but she is doing great and is ready to find her forever home! Ellie will need someone that is willing to take their time with her and give her the time and tools that she needs to be a happy and healthy dog. She has been in a great foster home and has been doing AMAZING in a home! She is such a goofy and cuddly girl, she will be a great girl for someone willing to put the work in for her.If you are interested in discussing what that would entail, give us a call! Ellie is up to date on her vaccinations and is spayed. If you are interested in applying to adopt Ellie, please submit an adoption application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.

Story
Check out our gorgeous girl Skye! Skye came in ti us as a stray, so we didn't know much about her initially. We learned that she is a younger girl that has been bounced around for almost her entire life, so she deserves some stability in her life. She does great with other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats, though she does like to think of them as a game of chase! She is such a sweet girl that can't wait for her forever home! Skye is up to date on her vaccinations and spayed. If you are interested in this sweet girl, please submit an application, which can be found on our website: humanesoceityofnwia.com.

Story
Meet our handsome man Peele! Peele and his brother were found as strays not long ago, we highly suspect that they were dumped based on other information we received about them and their situation. They came in in such poor condition that we knew we had to bring them in to the vet before their stray hold was up. They ended up having flea bite dermatitis and some pretty infected and irritated skin, not a horrible issue, but very uncomfortable. On top of that, the skin on the rest of their bodies was very inflamed and tender to the touch. These poor boys needed some TLC, but now they are happy and healing and ready to find their forever homes! Peele is good with other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats. He is doing great with potty training and is also taking well to basic obedience! He is a great boy, don't let him pass you by! Peele is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. If you are interested in Peele, please submit an adoption application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.
