Hi! The shelter staff named me Amigo and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by a good Samaritan on 10/3/26.I am a spirited dog with a fun-loving personality! I am still working on my manners, so I would do best with a family who is willing to work with me and help me become the best dog I can be!I weigh 73 lbs and am considered a `large breed` dog.I am a very smart dog! At the shelter I am practicing how to `sit`.I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home!I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy.I am a young dog!! I will need to find a home where someone is available for me in these early days. It is important to be consistent with me and socialize me so I can have the best companionship with people and other animals. Young dogs require patience because everything is brand new so I will need some TLC while I learn.You can visit me at the Pet Adoption Center on weekdays from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

Story
Hi! My name is Blaze and I am available for adoption!I was brought in as a stray, but my owners surrendered me on July 17, 2026 when they learned of my whereabouts.I am a medium to large breed dog and I weigh 66lbs. I am a bit overweight, so please keep that in mind when making my food!I am an older guy who is go-with-the-flow. I am potty trained, but at my older age I need a strict potty schedule to help me avoid any accidents. I am very fluffy and affectionate, but I am good at doing my own thing if I have a routine.I have been in foster since July and this is what they have to say about me, `Blaze is quiet, leash-trained and very food motivated. He`s low-keyed with other dogs and is shy when meeting new people. In spite of his age, Blaze can be quick on his feet and still likes to play with toys. He enjoys being outdoors and taking long car rides. When given the chance, Blaze loves a good roll in the grass on his back! Although hearing impaired, he responds to loud noises and hand gestures. He is most at ease in a quiet household where he receives gentle pets.`I`m currently in a foster home, please fill out a foster interest form for the chance to meet me! To find that form click the `read about our adoption process` link then `foster path` link!A note from the vet:Your new pet received a basic physical exam, in addition to routine vaccines, deworming, and topical flea preventative, if indicated. Although your new pet is ready for adoption, there is always a possibility of additional medical conditions that have not been detected or may develop in the future. Current medical conditions are noted below.1) This pet came into us overweight. His body condition is 9/9 (1/9= emaciated, 9/9 = obese, 5/9 = ideal). We recommend following up with your primary veterinarian to discuss a healthy weight loss plan. Your veterinarian may recommend senior blood work and urinalysis. 2) This pet is senior at 11 years old. Many pets at this age have arthritis or joint related illness. He has recieved a basic exam here at the shelter and would benefit from a review with your veterinarian to keep him as healthy and comfortable as possible. Additional care for these conditions may be needed after adoption. Please follow up with your regular veterinarian.

Hi! My name is Paisley and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by an Animal Control Officer on September 4, 2026.I weigh 69lbs and am considered a `large breed` dog.I am currently in a foster home and this is what they have to say about me, `Paisley is a total lover and a wonderful dog! I`ve spent almost every hour of the past week with her since last Sunday. She shows no aggression toward other neighborhood dogs encountered on walks and tolerates our resident cat however, I don`t leave them unsupervised. She is a huge cuddle bug and incredibly affectionate, potty-trained, very chill and sleeps through the entire night!`I am a gentle and loving dog who likes to take things slow. I may get nervous in new situations, so I am looking for a family who understands that I might take some time to warm up. Once I get to know you, I will be a very devoted friend!
