Story
Mustang is a male Labrador Retriever mixed doggy who is about 4.5 years old. Sadly, he was surrendered to us after his owner passed away. Mustang is a free-spirited, independent boy with a lot of heart. He is dog-selective, so he would do best as the only dog or with careful introductions. Mustang would be a good fit for a home with older children who can respect his space and energy. He has a loyal nature and will do best with someone who understands dogs and appreciates his independent personality. He is described as a 'Free Spirit'. Intelligent, independent, confident and clever, I prefer making my own decisions but will listen to you if you make a good case. We’re partners in this adventure. Treat me like one and we’ll both live happily ever after. (Internally motivated). It is recommended that whenever you add a new animal to your household, it is done with a slow and monitored introduction.

Story
Lucky is a male Labrador Retriever mixed doggy who is about 4.5 years old. Sadly, he was surrendered to us after his owner passed away. Lucky is sweet and sensitive and has been through a lot recently. He came in with his companion, Mustang, after their owner sadly passed away. Because of this big change, Lucky can be a bit nervous at first and needs time to feel safe and comfortable—he was even unsure about having his picture taken, which shows how much reassurance he needs right now. Once he has a chance to settle in, Lucky shows his gentle nature. He does best with patient, understanding people who will let him warm up at his own pace. He is dog selective, so careful introductions are important, and he would likely thrive as the only dog or with a well-matched canine friend. Older children who can respect his boundaries should be okay for him. Lucky is looking for a calm, loving home where he can rebuild his confidence and feel secure again. With kindness, consistency, and a little time, this loyal boy has the potential to become a devoted and loving companion. He is described as a 'Wallflower'. Shy yet charming canine searching for a patient owner with a relaxed lifestyle. Looking for gentle guidance to help me come out of my shell. Treat me sweet and kind and I’ll blossom.

Story
Drake is a male German Potato mixed doggy who is about 8 years old. This energetic, smart shepherd mix loves to stay active and enjoys having something to do.

Story
Hercules is a Retriever and Lab mixed pup who is just under 1 year old. He has a big name and an even bigger personality. A total goofball at heart, Hercules will make you laugh every single day. Whether he’s chasing his own tail, bouncing after a favorite toy, or flashing those irresistible puppy eyes, he’s pure joy on four paws. He’s playful, affectionate, and still very much a puppy, so he’s looking for a family ready for fun, love, and a little bit of happy chaos. If you’re searching for a loyal best friend who brings smiles wherever he goes, Hercules might just be your perfect match. He is described as a 'Busy Bee'. I’m a naturally playful, curious, and trusting canine. Take me for a big walk every day; give me something to do. After my job’s done, I’ll curl up in front of the fire with you in the evenings. (Externally motivated). Per his previous foster mom: Herky is a very happy boy that loves people, playing with his toys, and prancing around, holding his head up proudly. He loves greeting people and everyone says what a good and happy boy he is. When he is greeting people he can get a little up close and personal, but is always so sweet. He is an excellent guard dog with just the right amount of bark to be protective when someone is near the house, and doesn't bark without good reason. He loves snagging up tissues and napkins, so be warned not to leave those laying within his reach, unless you don't mind picking up the pieces later. He is good at entertaining himself. He loves going out on walks, running around freely, and plays really well with other dogs. He is learning sit, come, and stay. Since Hercules is still a puppy, it's best not to leave him unattended inside the house. He can't seem to help himself and probably get into something that he shouldn't. It is recommended that whenever you add a new animal to your household, it is done with a slow and monitored introduction. All our animals have been spayed/neutered (or will be arranged if currently too young). Dogs will be tested for heart worms, vaccinated against distemper/parvo and rabies. . Cats will be vaccinated against feline distemper and feline parvo, and have been wormed. . All animals will be bathed and treated for fleas/ear mites. Microchipping will take place at the time of adoption. Adoption fees: Cats - $105 for one or only $150 for two! Dogs - $155 Hercules is currently being fostered, so is not physically at the shelter.
