Story
We adopted Buster from a passed relative. He is approximately 7 years old based on veterinarian reports. Even though he is very calm and layer back, he does not act old as I would describe. He will still play with kids and run with them if you interact with him. He is extremely loving and gets along with cats and other dogs very well, as well as the perfect dog for children. Never has he been aggressive in any way. In fact if your looking for a guard dog he is not that type. Just laid back, calm, and loving. He definitely could use to get his teeth checked at his age and gets a skin infection from time to time that will need anti-biotics or treatment. Other than that maintenance for him is very low.

Story
Introducing our newest favorite, Bowie! This sweet boy was found wandering on Summit Street back in July, and sadly, no one has come looking for him. We’re hoping his next stop is a loving forever home!Bowie is a young, goofy guy who is still figuring out this whole “being a dog” thing. He has some separation anxiety, so he’d love an adopter who is home often and willing to help him build confidence and learn that being on his own is okay.He’s also got a few manners to work on. His favorite leash activity? Trying to turn it into a tug of war rope. But underneath all that derpy puppy energy is a sweet boy who just needs some patience, consistency, and someone willing to show him the ropes. We have no doubt Bowie has all the makings of an amazing companion!If you think this lovable goofball might be your guy, come say hi and give Bowie the second chance he deserves. Bowie would love to meet your kids and other dogs! We’re open 12–6 during the week and 12–4 on Saturdays. Come meet Bowie!

Story
Wyatt hasn’t known much stability thus far in his life. From what we know from his microchip, he was adopted from the Franklin County Dog Shelter and eventually found wandering out in the country. His adopter is nowhere to be found, so we are assuming he was dumped, but of course we can’t prove it.Wyatt is still just a young guy, and he’s got energy to spare! He’s a happy, playful dog who wants nothing more than to enjoy life and be around people he trusts.He is pretty unsure of men, so he may need a little extra patience and time to feel comfortable with them. Women, on the other hand? Wyatt is a fan! Once he feels safe, you get to see the sweet, goofy, happy dog underneath that initial nervousness.Wyatt’s story may have started with being found alone, but it doesn’t have to end there. He’s ready for someone who will give him the patience, reassurance, exercise, and love he needs to become the best version of himself.Wyatt is waiting for his forever person. Could that be you?

Story
These two lovely ladies, Lucky and Ducky, were found together a few days ago. They’re microchipped to an owner in North Carolina but sadly the phone number was disconnected. At this point we are placing these girls up for adoption and looking for a new home. According to their chip, they’re each spayed and around 7 years old. They’re very scared and rely on one another, so we’d like them to be adopted together. Lucky (black) needs to drop a few pounds to place less stress on her little body. She seems to have some arthritis but with pain meds she’s been jumping up and down. She is so sweet with a spicy little attitude!Ducky (speckled) is medium size. She has been very sweet so far and is slowly letting more of her personality out. They’re very protective over each other and seem pretty bonded. They keep their cage clean so we’re assuming they’re housebroken. Could you offer two scared little ladies a safe space to spend their lives? We know it’s hard to take on two dogs but they don’t deserve to be here 🥺. Bring your kids and dogs to meet them and let’s send these girls on their way to a new life.

Story
Charlie just turned 3 years old — a birthday she spent, once again, behind the walls of the shelter she’s called home for almost a year and a half. 🥀She’s a beautiful Rottweiler/Retriever mix with the softest eyes and the sweetest soul… but you’ll have to earn the chance to see that side of her. Charlie struggles with meeting new people — the world hasn’t always been kind to her — but if someone could just give her a few chances, visit her a couple of times, sit quietly nearby and let her heart unfold on its own… they’d find the most loyal, gentle, loving dog waiting underneath the fear. 💔Once she trusts you, she’s pure sunshine — a snuggly, kiss-giving, tail-wagging angel who will follow you anywhere. She walks beautifully on a leash, rides calmly in the car, and loves to stretch her legs running around the yard before curling up in a soft bed or a pile of blankets. She doesn’t care much for toys — she just wants love, safety, and someone to finally stay. 🐾Charlie has done well with some dogs here, but she takes her time getting comfortable — both with people and other pets. She’d do best in a quiet, low-traffic home with no young kids or cats.She’s a staff and volunteer favorite because we’ve seen the real her — the dog that greets you with kisses, melts into your lap, and looks at you like you’re her entire world. 🌙We keep telling her that her person is out there. That someone will see past the nerves and realize what a once-in-a-lifetime dog she truly is. But with every day that passes, she waits a little longer.Maybe you’re the one she’s been waiting for. 🖤More information?
