Story
This gorgeous girl's name is Annie and she's looking for her forever home! She's 3 years old. She's full of energy and can jump like nobody's business! She came to the shelter as a stray, so we don't have any information about her life up until now. We have noticed that while she may tolerate another dog's presence she certainly does NOT like sharing food or toys. She can get aggressive when protecting her stuff from other dogs. She also chases small animals. She needs a house where she is the only pet. Because she's so energetic she would also do better with older children only. She's very lovable and has shown no signs of aggression with humans. She is a superb walking dog who doesn't pull her leash unless she sees something she wants to chase. Is your house a good fit for this beautiful girl?

Story
We adopted Doc a few years ago. At the time, they told us he was approx 3 years old. He’s probably around 7 currently. Unfortunately as our kids have grown older, our lives have become busier and aren’t at home as much. Doc loves to be with his people and gets anxious when left alone for long periods of time. He has never been around cats that we know of and other dogs he is not always a fan of and seems to be pretty selective. It may be a dominance thing or just doesn’t enjoy being with other dogs. He’s been around kids and has always done fine with them. When we adopted him, he went through heart worm treatments and last he was checked he is all clear. He truly is a snuggle bug and would love to be with his humans and on them as much as possible.

Meet Willow! This precious pup is available for adoption. She is about 5 months old. Willow is a hound mix which means she will follow her nose anywhere and everywhere so a fenced in yard,(physical fence) is best. She loves children and other dogs. Please send us a message for more info or an application.

His name was Ozzie. He was taken to boarding until a foster home became available to wish away the memories that scared and scarred him. Within a week, a lady came to pick him up. Ozzie saw the lady and tried to hide in a corner of the boarding facility. The lady took a step closer and Ozzie pooped his pants! (Okay, Ozzie didn't have pants on and it hit the floor. But, we don't want to embarrass him about being naked in public.) The lady spent a long time sitting near him and talking to him before Ozzie would crawl onto her lap. The lady took Ozzie home with her.  Ozzie was given his own room with a crate to sleep in. It had a warm fluffy bed. The lady placed him in the crate to adjust to the sounds of the house. Ozzie had never been more scared in his life. Whenever the lady tried to put a leash on his collar he would try to scare her away with snarls and barks, but she wouldn't give up. For 2 weeks the lady would dangle a slip lead through the crate and loop it around him before she could put his leash on.   The foster lady had discovered that Ozzie was afraid to have anyone be near his head. Ozzie started to realize that no matter how much he showed his fears, this foster lady wouldn't give up on trying to love him. His foster mom started leaving his crate and bedroom door open. One night he peeked into her bedroom and saw her with two other dogs on her bed. They were playing and licking her face...and she laughed and seemed to like it. Ozzie snuck closer and closer...until he was up on the bed at the bottom, watching as the other dogs moved closer to foster mom and cuddled up to sleep! Foster mom pretended not to notice as Ozzie crept closer and closer...until he came up to her and cuddled too! This went on for several nights. Finally, Ozzie decided that he wasn't so afraid of foster mom and he was going to give her a kiss on the face like the other dogs did. Foster mom was filled with joy. This kiss meant more than any wet puppy kiss she ever had. The scared and broken-hearted chihuahua had turned a corner and found someone he could trust and care for!As the days and weeks turned into months, Ozzie started to try playing with the other dogs.  He would sit on foster mom's lap, drink her iced tea and coffee when she wasn't paying attention, and start going up to other members of the household for petting. Ozzie learned nobody was going to hurt his head and all the humans respected his wish to allow him to give kisses first and not reach for his head or put their face in his without first being asked to by him. Life for Ozzie was the best he could remember.Then, one day, foster mom brought home a pup. The pup's name was Dink. Dink was a very energetic and playful puppy. Ozzie wasn't sure why, but foster mom decided to introduce him to Dink in the play yard...just the two of them! Ozzie heard foster mom tell someone she was so happy to finally see him play like a young dog should. Ozzie continued to play with Dink. They ran and ran in the green grass until they were both tired and thirsty. Ozzie thinks he heard foster mom say she hopes he finds a furever home now that his fears have lessened. Ozzie now has joy and hope in his heart that he will soon find another patient and understanding home of humans that he could make as happy as foster mom!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please fill out an adoption application: Adoption application (Dog) Adoption Application (Cat)   Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5.
