Story
Rogue aka Roguey Boguey, Roguey Bear, is a sweet and incredibly smart 4 year old (Sept) German Shepherd. She came to us from a relative who could not care for her. We were hoping to give her the best home, but with 3 small children and very busy schedules, we have decided to attempt finding her a family that will give her all the love she deserves. She is extremely gentle with our children (2-5-7), one of the smartest dogs we have had, and just wants and needs endless hugs and kisses (and walks). She is definitely a shepherd and will likely attach herself to one person that is her everything. We also have 2 cats and they even play together but I think she would love having a canine companion that is lighthearted and playful. She is not a big barker but does bark when someone walks by or up to the house. She loves going along to anything and everything that she can. Soccer games, parks, even school drop off and pick up! Please let me know if you would like to meet her!

Story
Kitty is the most shy of our American Bulldog pups, but boy is she a sweetheart! She would probably do best with a confident dog friend to show her how to come out of her shell a bit more! She does like to play and is motivated by treats. Kitty is 1 years old, spayed and up to date, and currently weighs 70 pounds. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. 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 $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $275+ 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
Meet Trix, a spirited young senior Chihuahua with plenty of pep in his step! Trix may have a heart murmur, but he doesn't let that slow him down. This feisty little guy is full of energy and ready for adventure! While Trix may not be gentle in his playfulness, he's incredibly sweet and affectionate with those he trusts. He gets along with kids, dogs, and cats, showing his lively spirit and resilience in every interaction. Trix can be protective of his food, preferring to enjoy his meals without interruption from other dogs. His heart condition does require medication costing $90 a month, but that doesn't dampen his enthusiasm for life. If you're looking for a furry friend with personality and spunk, Trix is the perfect match for you.

Story
Lacey's ideal home would be one where she's not the only four-legged wrestler in the ring! She thrives in the company of other dogs and needs to have a canine companion who can keep up with her high-energy antics. Together, they'll engage in epic wrestling matches, chase each other around the yard, and engage in all sorts of doggy shenanigans. She is house trained and is working on her best manners! Lacey did live outdoors, so she is working on the manners part! Lacey is considered special needs because she takes daily Prozac. She is successful when she is both on meds and has another dog to burn energy and cuddle up with. She does NOT do well as the only dog, or when crated/kenneled.

Story
This goofy guy is Oreo – a 4-year-old German Shorthair Pointer looking for an active, loving home! While he could use some refreshers in manners (jumping), he knows “sit” and even has pheasant hunting experience. Oreo loves people of all shapes and sizes, seems to get along well with other dogs, and is highly food motivated 😊 This big boy will need a home that can meet his high-energy needs and thunderstorm anxiety, but also can handle all the love he can give!
