Meet Dibley! Dibley is currently our longest resident at the shelter. Dibley is a handsome, two year old black and white mix breed, who is guaranteed to bring endless joy into your life. He is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated! His adoption fee is $150. Dibley is a happy go lucky boy whose favorite activities revolve around fun and adventure! He absolutely adores going for walks, especially when those walks take him through the exciting sights and smells of the woods. He is a social butterfly at heart and thrives in the company of other dogs, preferring the kind of rowdy, full-speed play sessions that leave everyone smiling and panting! While he loves his playtime, Dibley’s true passion is you!! He loves being the center of attention and will shower his forever family with affection and enthusiasm. He’s looking for an active household that can match his zest for life and provide plenty of opportunities for play, exercise, and love. If you are ready for a playful companion who believes every day should be the best day ever, apply for Dibley today! When people meet Dibley at the kennel front he often feels trapped and scared, but Dibley loves to meet people outside of his kennel and is friendly with all strangers when he is out and about. Scheduling a meet and greet in our play-yard is the best way to see Dibley's personality. The shelter is a big scary place, take a chance on this wonderful dog!

Meet Ireland, a sweet and friendly young male dog who’s looking for his forever home! 🐾 Ireland came to us as a stray, but you’d never know it by how lovable and social he is.

Whether it’s playtime with his canine companions or just lounging around with his humans, Ireland’s calm and affectionate nature makes him a joy to be around. He’s still young and has a lot of energy to burn, so he’d do well in a home where he can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. In return, he’ll shower you with love and cuddles every chance he gets. If you’re looking for a sweet, social companion who’s ready to settle into his forever family, Ireland might be the perfect match for you!

Story
About Zuma You may have heard the background story on Zuma. Some months back, he was one of several dogs rescued from a suspected dogfighting ring. At that time, they were very underweight and had other health issues. At the shelter they received medical treatment and were given a healthy diet. They have gained weight and are now healthy. They went through behavior assessment, and all were given passing grades. Zuma is a friendly, energetic, and playful pup with a good-looking tan coat. He is believed to be about a year old. It is now time for Zuma to learn what it is like to live in a loving home. He needs a home with no kids under 10 years of age and with no other male dogs. Please call the shelter at (360) 678-8901 if you have questions about Zuma. Considerations No kids under 12 No other male dogs
