Story
I lost both of my parents to cancer, Niko was their loyal companion. I took him in thinking it was a temporary situation. He is very old but very healthy! 2 years ago when I inherited him, he had his remaining teeth removed, they were rotting. He’s a kind, loving boy. He needs to go out often. His most recent visit to the vet, they said he has some hip dysplasia as expected with his age but other than that, a wonderful little companion. I am unsure of his age, my parents rescued him years ago and were unsure of his age at that time. He needs someone he can spend a lot of time with. He stands on his hind legs for every feeding still, it’s adorable. Niko will thrive in a calm environment. He’s not aggressive but he does hide from my children when they’re playing, he doesn’t like the commotion. I would love to find someone for Niko to spend time with. I have a chihuahua size kennel, lead, yard anchor, leash, harnesses, jacket, large metal yard play pen, all included.

Story
I got Roxie at 8 weeks ok she grew up with me in college. She is an amazing dog and it breaks my heart having to part with her because she’s a great dog. But with my living situation and career path I just can’t exercise her as much as she needs. She is extremely smart and well behaved. She does amazing with other dogs but has shown signs of aggression over food only with dogs. She will come with her crate and her food bowl. She’s the most loving dog I’ve ever had and I just want her to have a life that I can not give her and I know someone else can.

Story
Morty was a foster puppy we adopted about 3 years ago. We downsized our property a few months ago and Morty misses his yard. He has too much personality and spunk to be inside all day with 2 other dogs. He tends to be needy, sometimes timid, and likes to bark but is so loving. If you let him he will stick to you like Velcro. He desperately needs a home where he is the only dog, he longs to be the center of attention! Morty would also love a yard to play in as well. He is crate trained, walks well on a leash, he sleeps in a dog bed or would love to cuddle with you. Car rides are not his favorite thing, he gets very nervous. Overall, he is one of the most loving companions you could ask for. Our new house and circumstances just aren't enough for this wonderful pup. If you have questions please ask.

Story
Poor Jane came to us in need of an emergency surgery. She had a pyometra, which for those who don’t know, is an infection of the uterus that can happen in females who are not spayed. It is fatal if an emergency spay is not performed to remove the infection. It took her some time, but sweet Jane has finally made her recovery and is ready for her next adventure. She has discovered a passion for chasing balls around in the play yard……. and biting trees for some reason. She was attacked by 2 other dogs in the past, so she has a lot of reservations around other dogs and is said to be reactive with them. Since she has been here, we have not had any issues, but a home without other dogs may be ideal for her. However, it may not be out of the question if there are multiple meet and greets and slow introductions. We are not sure how she does with cats or children. She loves to give kisses though! Jane has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)

I am an incredibly sweet and resilient dog. I was living as a farm dog and have had many litters for my age, my last one included 9 puppies!! My owner passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident, so I found myself looking for a new home! I am a little bit shy at first, but once I am comfortable I am SO loving.
