Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.

Story
Meet Lester, a strikingly handsome bi-eyed husky/shepherd mix that will stop you right in your tracks! 👁️💙🤎 True to both of his iconic breeds, Lester is a brilliant, high-energy gentleman who is looking for an active family ready to embrace his big brain and adventurous spirit.Lester is a beautiful blend of shepherd loyalty and husky charm. From his shepherd side, he brings an eager-to-please work ethic, intense devotion to his humans, and a sharp intellect that thrives on having a "job" to do. From his husky side, he inherits a fun-loving, independent streak, a dash of goofy charisma, and a love for the great outdoors. Because he is a mix of two highly athletic and intelligent working breeds, Lester will need plenty of daily mental stimulation, puzzle toys, and physical exercise to keep him happy and fulfilled.

Story
My little boy PaPaw is amazing!! I rescued him from an abusive home at 7 months old. He is very sweet and clingy! He loves to coo like a bird. And he climbs like a goat! Lol. He loved to climb up onto my shoulder and sit on my shoulder. We always joked that he is a parrot, goat, cat dog! He loves cats and all their toys and beds! Spot would do well in a house where he is the only dog. He does have some behaviors that I would love to talk with you about!! He does great with other animals and kids. He can be fearful, especially of men or with fast movements. He is a smart boy! He does not have a whole lot of training, but he is a quick learner! I want him to thrive and have the best life he can!
