Story

Hooch is a 1 year old, male lab/pit mix, bundle of springy energy. He is fun and playful and bouncy. Hooch loves to play with most other dogs -- we recommend a meet and greet if you've got another doggo at home. Hooch loves to roll around with weebly wobbly toys! Hooch keeps his kennel clean and although he's still learning manners, he does well with older dog saavy kids. If you're looking for a fun and outgoing best friend, Hooch may be your guy. Most of our dogs are currently in shelter - but adoptions/meet and greets are by appointment only. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $150 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $250+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.

Story

Hiya! I'm Hazel the Husky and I want to be your friend. I enjoy making new friends; everyone and everything have their own unique personality and it's fun to try to figure them all out. I may skirt around you and get some good smells in before committing to best friendship, but once I make up my mind, there is no changing it! I came to the shelter after my human's life changed and extreme business happened. They understood how much attention I needed and wanted the best for me, so here I am looking for a family to take over where they left off. And boy, did they do an amazing job with my puppy training! I'm potty trained, I have my basic manners pretty much down as well as some cute little bonus commands. I very much appreciated the sheltered life we lived. I was able to take my time meeting new people but always rose to the occasion. Other dogs intimidated me, but the ladies at the shelter have let me do some brief dog meets and I am pretty curious of the ones I have met. I think another dog in the home might be a fun change-up from my routine! So are you ready to take on my sweet face? I love to play and want to make my place with you. Call the ladies to set up an appointment today!
