Story

Hi, I'm Sugar!I'm a sweet older girl who's looking for a home that will love me forever! I'd like to be in a home where I'm the center of attention, and don't have to share my things with other animals. I'd do best in a home with no young children as I can be a bit touch sensitive. I LOVE people, and can't wait to meet you!

Story

Meet Electra! This little gal made her to way to us after being found as a stray, we're not to sure her background but what we do know is she hasn't really been exposed to much. Electra is pretty nervous of the world around her but really looks to her people to help her. She may need to meet her adopter a couple times before feeling confident enough to go home. Electra would likely do well with another calm, confident dog to follow in the foot steps of, but gets very nervous from of rambunctious big dogs - just because they're so much bigger - so we can't blame her! Feline friends should be okay as well! Bigger kiddos, dog-savvy 12+ would be best fitted and we would like Electra to meet the whole family prior to going home. ** Electra is available by appointment only, so please submit an application and one of our staff members will be in touch to set up an appointment! **

My name is Walt! I’m very outgoing and love people. I need some help with my manners as I’m very bouncy but I can learn quickly! I’ve been through a lot in my life so I need the right introductions to other dogs. Also I like dogs that are more relaxed, too much energy scares me! I also snort a lot!
