Story
Meet Diesel! This handsome, senior boy was returned to us after the home he was adopted into was no longer a good fit for him. Diesel would love to find a home to spend his senior years relaxing! At nine-years old, Diesel is an easier going boy but does not let his age keep him down! Diesel is still full of spunk and especially enjoys going for walks or running around the yard. Diesel previously lived with cats and ferrets but would need to be the only pup in the home! He is very used to cats that are dog-friendly and would be a better fit for a home with cats familiar with dogs. Diesel has done well with people of all ages and sizes while here with us and would not mind having children in his forever home! His previous owner stated that he is house broken and that he is a cuddle bug and will snuggle up underneath the blankets on the bed with you! If you are looking for a senior, happy-go lucky pup, Diesel may be the perfect companion for you! Diesel is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Meet Bella! Bella came to us as a stray in September 2023 and is ready to find her forever home! This sweet girl is a ball of energy and spunk! Bella is still a lot of puppy and does not always realize her size when it comes to hopping up to say hello. Bella would do great in a patient home that is looking to continue her training! Bella is a very smart pup and loves treats! She does have trouble focusing at times but is getting better everyday with the help of staff and volunteers. She needs a little work on her leash manners and walks better with a harness over a collar. Bella loves going on walks or playing in the yard! She LOVES tug-of-war so stuffed toys or rope toys are this girl's best friend! Pretty-Bella is very selective with the dogs she befriends and may do best as the only dog in the home. We would be willing to try a meet-and-greet with any potential doggy friends. We have not seen Bella extensively with cats while in our care but she has done well around the AHS office cats. Bella has done great with kids but may be a little too much energy for small children! This one-year old girl is a ball of fun! Stop by and meet Bella if she sounds like she would be a good fit for your home! Bella is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Say hello to Simba! Simba came to us after he was left overnight in one of our playards in freezing temperatures. This happy-go-lucky pup is now ready to find his forever home! Simba is an absolute sweetheart and gets excited to meet everyone and anyone! We quickly learned in his time with us that the quickest way to Simba's heart is through treats and stuffed toys. If you have a stuffed animal or rope toy Simba wants to do nothing more than play tug-of-war! This sweet boy loves butt scratches and belly rubs and will flop over by your feet when he is looking for attention. Simba walks very nicely on leash and only needs a couple or reminders occasionally when he gets very excited to go out! Simba currently knows sit and is looking for a patient owner to continue his training. Simba does need to be the only animal in his forever home but has plenty of love to go around to make up for it. Simba previously lived with children and has done well children of all sizes in our care as well! Simba would love to find a home to play his days away. Stop by and visit Simba if he sounds like a good fit for your home! Simba is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Meet Binky! This happy-go-lucky puppy came to us in September 2023 as a stray and is looking for a patient home to handle all that puppy energy! Like all puppies, Binky will need an owner to work on all of his basic training, leash walking and housetraining. He has started working on sit while here in our care and is quick to learn with the help of treats! Binky loves toys of all types but rope toys have been a favorite in his time with us! He could spend ages racing around the yard playing with a rope toy or chasing a ball down. He doesn't quite have the "return" aspect of fetch down yet but is happy to chase and toss around toys! Binky loves treats and has enjoyed a peanut butter kong to keep him busy! Binky is very curious and excited to see the other dogs here at the shelter at would not mind a furry friend to keep him company in his forever home! Binky is a puppy and does still mouth. Any children in the home will have to be understanding that he needs more training and be able to take part in teaching him that he gets more attention by being a polite pup! Stop by and meet Binky if he sounds like the pup for you! Binky is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Meet our handsome one of a kind guy named Chase! Chase is a huge love bug that loves making new friends of all kinds. He would be the perfect fit for anyone that needs a bright light to wake up to everyday! His zoomies, smiles and BIG CUDDLES make him very popular here at the shelter with staff and volunteers. Chase previously lived in a home with another dog, and children and would not mind having a home with a doggy pal! Chase's previous owners did say that he can be around cats if slowly introduced first. This big boy does need some work on his leash manners but is good on his basics and very politely accepts treats. Tug-of-war and butt scratches are the way to Chase's heart! Stop by and meet Chase today if he sounds like a good fit for your home! Chase is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Blossom came to us in October 2023 after she was transferred to us from another shelter and is looking for her forever home! This happy-go-lucky girl is a ball of energy and love! Blossom has not been with us for very long so we have not learned all of her little quirks or likes but are quickly learning what a sweet pup she is. While she has plenty of energy to burn, Blossom is also happy to sit close by and cuddle when she is inside. She has enjoyed playing out in the yard and going for walks and seems to especially enjoy stuffed toys or toys that squeak. Blossom loves a chew bone or soft treats and has done well relaxing with a kong toy full of something good, as well! With all the love she has to give Blossom does get very excited to meet new people. She needs some work on her manners to learn that she can get just as much love and attention with all four feet on the ground. Blossom does not seem bothered by the other dogs in the kennel but we have not seen her extensively with other pups. We would be happy to have a meet and greet with any potential doggy pals in her forever home. Blossom did not seem to be a big fan of the shelter's outside cats and may do best in a home with no feline friends. Blossom has loved people of all sizes but would do best with children that are comfortable with rambunctious pups! Come by and visit Blossom if you are interested in adopting or if you would just want to stop by for cuddles! Blossom is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.
