Summer is just around the corner! Camping, fishing, hiking and all kinds of water activities are in the plans. Do you have everything you need? Well there is one more thing to check off your list...a little furry friend to hang out with you on all your adventures! Little miss Chevelle absolutely adores any kind of water sport you are in to. She would love to be your water companion. Being a Black Lab, it is second nature to this little sweet girl. Chevelle is a 9 month old pup that cant wait to have a person of her own to swim around with. She is 30 lbs now but probably wont get a whole lot bigger. She will be up to date on her vaccinations, wormed and microchipped. She will also bring along a spay certificate that covers the cost of her spay. But you will have to supply the floaties. Don't miss out on this little black beauty girl.

Story
Who’s looking for a super cute bestie? Because this little dude is ready to clock in for the position. Monkey is the kind of pup who believes every dog he meets is simply a friend he hasn’t played with yet. He’s bouncy, playful, and full of happy wiggles, but he’s also a champion cuddler once the zoomies are out of his system. Basically, he’s the whole package—fun, affectionate, and at that perfect age where he’s ready to grow up with his very own person. Monkey is healthy, happy, and ready to start his next adventure. His vaccinations are up to date and he’s been wormed. When he heads home with his new family, he’ll also be microchipped and registered, plus he’ll come with a neuter certificate to be used locally that covers the cost. All that’s missing is the human who realizes their life could use a little more tail wagging and laughter. Fill out an application today and come meet the little guy who might just steal your heart. 🐾

Story
Slightly used Dog looking for my perfect home! My name is Beau. I have traveled a rocky road to get here. My first memories were of living in the street, digging in garbage to find food. Some nice people found me and took me home and got me heathy, cats and dogs for friends, but they had to move so they gave me to a new lady. She has been super nice, but she is kind of old and fell down and got hurt, and said she was going to get broke parts fixed soon and would have to find me a new family. She promised I would get tons of loving, get to play a lot, have a big yard to run in and maybe dog friends or cats. I'm just a fuzzy ball of love, I have been told it's rude to lick faces, and I can sit and lay down for a treat. The lady said I can take my food, toys and my new buzzy collar that doesn't like barking noise. Sadly, I have to do something called neutered, required . I'm 50 lbs about 1 1/2 to 2yr old and I don't chew shoes! PS, I love kids and get excited, so not tiny ones.

Story
Hi, this is Rio. He is half Irish Wolfhound and half Rottweiler. Rio is a great family dog. Easy to get along with. With that being said, he is also good at alerting you when strangers arrive home. I would describe Rio as playful, friendly, and energetic. Rio has been an outside dog most of his life due to our landlord rules, but recently we were hit with the news to get rid of him. He really is a great dog. We are hoping to find a family for him.
