Story
I'm Thanos and I came into the shelter as a stray on 12/29/2023 and have become one of the longest residents here. Although the shelter staff loves me, I'd rather be in a warm, safe and dry home environment with people who love me and will provide the attention I desire. Sometimes I don't know my own strength and will jump up but don't intend to be rude or pushy--I just crave attention! I do know some basic commands, but without someone working with me daily (more than my daily walks and people passing by my kennel looking for a forever companion), I forget until I'm reminded again. I'd do much better in an "adult only" home or home with children 13 or over due to my size and strength when I'm being playful. I have a history of not getting along with other dogs, so I'd prefer to be the only dog in the household. If you can provide the structure and physical activity I need, you will find a best friend in me!

Story
Bambi originally came to the shelter as a stray in December 2024 at a young age (approx. 1.5 years old). She was adopted in March 2025 but was returned two weeks later because the owner "didn't have time" to properly train her (she was chewing on things she wasn't supposed to, etc.--typical of a very young dog who needs someone to provide consistent behavior training). She was then adopted a week later (April 2025) but was just returned AGAIN by her owner (May 2026) because she "wouldn't stay home". The second adopter lives in a rural area and kept Bambi outdoors, and she began following the neighborhood children home. Bambi is great dog, friendly with everyone and even likes cats! It's not Bambi's fault that she's here...honestly.

Story
Selma is approx. 4 years old and weighs 45 lbs. She has moderate to high energy levels (and, therefore, will do better in a home without small children) and LOVES playing with balls and squeaky toys. Selma can be selective with dogs (therefore, a meet-and-greet is required with your dog to ensure compatibility) and doesn't care for cats at all. Selma is best walked with a harness (not a collar) as her neck is sensitive to pressure. Call to meet Selma today!

Hi, I'm Ariel, a 10-month-old brindle and white girl who's ready to bring joy to your home! 🐾 I'm spayed and already a total sweetheart — I'm playful, energetic, and absolutely love making friends with other dogs and cats. I do get a little nervous with loud noises like thunder and vacuums, and I prefer not to be left alone for long stretches, so I'd thrive best with someone who can spend quality time with me. I'm affectionate and friendly with everyone, and my adoption fee is just $150. Come meet me and let's start our adventure together! 💕
