Catch has been with us for about 5 years now. He first came in when he was a year old. We called him Catch since it took the warden a month to trap him. He has pretty much grown up at the shelter. A man came by a few years ago and adopted him. They were Best of friends. for about 2 years, then the man passed away. and Catch was back with us again. He is looking for a furever home where he is the only animal. He enjoys walks, and loves foods and snacks. A good back scratcher his person will need to be. Best not around small kids or other animals.*Applications are on www.vwchs.org/adopt**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter

Story
Blackbird is a happy guy who loves to play ball. He needs to be the only dog untill he is comfortable, but he enjoys (10 and up) kids and did we mention playing ball. When he runs his ears flop, its the cutest thing. This boy was in a home and liked one dog but not the other, he also has some resources guarding issues. We think he would do best as an only dog untill a good trust and bond can be made. He does best with men.**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter

Tubz is always happy! He knows how to sit, he takes treats gently. Not good with cats, but loves all people, big or small. That tail may clean the coffee table off or knock a kid down but rest assured he will kiss them better.
