Story
Bella is a very sweet dog. She is great with my two younger children and gets along well with my cat and older Pitt bull. So why do I need to re-home her? Since I purchased her, I have needed to go back to work full time and have become a single mother. She just isn't getting the attention she deserves and I feel horrible about that. I hope she can find a loving home with lots of room to romp and play.

Story
Murphy is a giant cuddle bug. He is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. He is a 4 year old Akita Lab mix who thinks he is a 100 lbs lap dog!! Murphy came to me a few weeks ago when his owner had to take on more hours at work. We have two dogs already (who he gets along well with) and are not looking to add to our home at this time. Murphy is extremely intelligent and loves to make friends. He is great around all dogs, cats, kids big or little!! He loves to be around people and loves adventures!

Story
Ursla Ursla is a female Husky/Shar Pei/Retriever mix. (breed) DOB: April of 2022 Adoption fee: $100.00 I am a beautiful girl. My confidence with new people, places and things is low. The only memory I have is of being at the shelter. I love it here, but I deserve more. I enjoy going for walks with my volunteer friends. My favorite toys are big bouncy/squeak balls. I play well with other dogs, pending personalities. I am not a leader. I do like to give hugs to my favorite staff members and sometimes we enjoy a dance when our favorite songs come on the radio. I can be quite the character at times. I will need a physically fenced yard. I have never been around young children; I am recommended for older children. Not sure about cats, I see them all the time and may be fine with a cat in my home if we are introduced slowly. I would be a great companion for someone who just wants a dog to be grateful to see them at the end of a long day.

Story
Yzma Yzma is a female Husky/Shar Pei/Retriever mix. DOB: April of 2022 Adoption fee: $100.00 I am shy to new people. I have a quirky personality and get all giddy when I am nervous or uncomfortable in situations. I would do my best with someone with rescue experience. I have not been exposed to much other than what is at the shelter. I have not had the best experiences meeting other dogs. I would be best as the only dog in my home or may adjust with an older dog that really doesn’t care if I am there or not. I will be afraid of cats but may adjust to a dog savvy cat using a slow positive introduction. I will need a physically fenced yard at my new home. I would adjust better to a quiet home. I walk well on a leash and as I grow my confidence with my new family I will enjoy exploring new places. I am a very loving girl and deserve a chance to find out what it's like to be in a home.

Story
Ziti Ziti is a Female Lab mix. DOB: May of 2018 Adoption fee: Sponsored If you are looking for an easy-going companion, just someone to take leisurely walks with, a companion to watch movies with or just hang out.... Look no further, I am your gal. I arrived at the shelter heartworm positive, but my treatment was completed, and I have had two negative heartworm tests and I’m feelin great! I can be a bit stubborn when outside. Smelling the area is very important, you know! I will require a physically fenced yard. Pending a meet and greet, I should match with another dog. Preferably a laid back, easy going male or female. I am not confrontational, but I do like to be the top dog. I could care less about cats. I really am a wonderful girl and I deserve a home of my very own. I love pets, tummy rubs, and oh yeah... treats, those are always good.

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Cattle Dog

Story
Sid Terrier/Cattle dog mix. DOB: April of 2022. Adoption fee: $100.00 I have come a long way since first entering the shelter. I enjoy going for walks with my volunteer friends. They love my quirky personality, and rave about what a good boy I am. I am not a big boy; about beagle size and I will not get any bigger. I do well with other dogs, pending personalities, my favorites are the ladies, especially the larger ones, the bigger the better is my motto! I can be a bit stubborn when I’m not ready to come in, I will require a physically fenced in yard. I need a little work on taking treats gently. I love to play with toys and after a nice long walk I enjoy a nice rub down. I do not show the cats much interest. I may be okay with a dog savvy cat, slow intro and use caution until we are better acclimated to one another. Children in my home should be 12 years and older. I have been overlooked for quite a while and I have so much to offer a family, I just need someone to take a chance on me.
