Story
Luna, is 8 almost 9 years old. We rescued her from being a bait dog when she was around 9 months old. She is a loving energetic dog but due to her background she is afraid of other dogs and becomes aggressive by defense. We would love to keep her but we became homeless and need a safe loving home for her. She has been house traind, crate traind, pulls alittle when walking do to her energy. She is very protective and has issues with scary large looking men until they sit down. She has an aggressive smile we call her Elvis lip. Shes a great dog just needs good people who will love herShe likes to talk and grumble with a very aggressive wiggle butt when excited and happy. Loves treats and a sucker for whip cream

Story
Leo is an adult neutered male Beagle who will be with the Path to Home Program for 8 weeks at the Orleans Correctional Facility. He will be ready for adoption upon completion of the program - approximately early November.   Volunteers For Animals and Orleans Correctional Facility have developed a Dog Training & Fostering Program within the prison that will provide socialization and basic obedience training for the dogs before being adopted. Volunteers For Animals will be pulling dogs from high kill shelters and locally who may be in need of behavioral support to become more adoptable. The dogs will then be transported to Orleans Correctional Facility where they will live with selected inmates who will care for them 24 hours per day for approximately 8 weeks. Each dog will have a crate, bedding, leash, collar, training treats, and food provided by Volunteers For Animals. A certified dog trainer will provide weekly training classes for the dogs and the inmates. The inmates will then work daily to reinforce the formal training with the dogs. Adoption Procedures The adoption process includes an application that is completed by the potential owner. If there are multiple applications on the same animal, the animal will go to the best home for that particular animal - not necessarily the first application. Fees for the Path to Home animals are $200 per animal which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS. All of the dogs are current on vaccines, heart worm tested and spayed/neutered. If you would like to be considered for any of the Path to Home dogs, please email us. Please do not call the Shelter regarding Path to Home animals - they do not have any information. If you would like more information, please Contact Us.  Here is the adoption process:   To adopt an animal you must complete an application and be approved. There is a $100 fee for any county animal which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS. If the animal is not spayed or neutered, there is a $35 deposit which will be returned upon proof of surgery. All dogs must be licensed before leaving the Shelter. Please note that public offices that issue dog licenses are not open on Saturdays and Sundays. All cats must leave in a carrier.   Thank you for considering a homeless animal.September 30, 2026, 6:44 am

Story
 Dody is a darling three-year-old female boxer mix, weighing just 40 lbs, with nothing but affection and a perfect underbite to share. All she wants is to be in your lap, showering you with kisses. Another notable feature of this lovely lady is her tendency to, with little warning, break out into the most energetic zoomies. This girl loves to run. Dody is great on a leash, but needs a no-pull harness to keep her energy contained. Dody seems to like other dogs, but cats are not her thing. This sweet bundle of joy will be spayed prior to adoption.    Here is the adoption process:   To adopt an animal you must complete an application and be approved. There is a $100 fee for any county animal which needs to be cash or a check - NO CREDIT CARDS. If the animal is not spayed or neutered, there is a $35 deposit which will be returned upon proof of surgery. All dogs must be licensed before leaving the Shelter.

Story
Morgan is a young adult, spayed, 40-pound female pit bull with a sweet and affectionate personality. She loves going for walks, but since she is quite strong, a no- pull harness is a must. Given the choice between playtime and cuddles, Morgan usually chooses playtime, but will settle in for snuggle time once she has exhausted herself. This stunning girl is highly treat-motivated and is learning to sit and wait patiently for her favorites. Morgan seems to get along with other dogs, but is not a huge fan of cats. Morgan is currently enrolled in the Path to Home Program and will be available for adoption after her training is complete in November.   Volunteers For Animals and Orleans Correctional Facility have developed a Dog Training & Fostering Program within the prison that will provide socialization and basic obedience training for the dogs before being adopted. Volunteers For Animals will be pulling dogs from high kill shelters and locally who may be in need of behavioral support to become more adoptable.

Story
Meet Chuck! ❤️ Chuck is a 6-year-old Bulldog mix with a big ol’ head, a sweet personality and a serious appreciation for the finer things in life… like sunshine, naps and belly rubs. Chuck is a people lover and is happiest when he’s hanging out with his humans. He loves attention, loves being included and is always happy to make a new friend. He’s affectionate, easygoing and has that classic Bulldog personality that somehow manages to be funny even when he’s doing absolutely nothing. Chuck also likes other dogs and enjoys having canine friends around, but he’s definitely not the wild, rowdy type. He’s much more likely to be found stretched out in a sunny spot, snoozing on a comfy bed or rolling over to remind you that his belly could use some attention. At 6 years old, Chuck has settled into a pretty nice routine. He still enjoys spending time with other dogs and being part of whatever is going on, but he doesn’t need constant activity to be happy. Give him a little sunshine, a soft place to sleep and plenty of love and he’s pretty content. Chuck is just a sweet, laid-back, social guy looking for a home where he can relax, be loved and enjoy life at his own pace. If your idea of the perfect dog is one who enjoys a good nap as much as you do, Chuck might be your guy. ❤️ Please note: All dogs are rescues so we often do not know the actual breeds but use an educated guess to tell you what they most look like. Our adoption fee is $400 and unless otherwise stated all dogs and puppies have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, 4DX tested (if age appropriate), put on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, age appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, vet checked and flown from Puerto Rico.
