Story
Opal came to us not spayed and with a couple of mammary masses and a mass in her ovaries. We have since spayed her and had her masses removed and biopsied and all looks good! Eyes will need to be kept on her but she is ready to find her forever home-yay! Opal is suuuuch a sweet girl and loves to snuggle and is great with other dogs. Really we think she could be good with any family! She does still need to gain some weight but now that she is with a foster they can work on that! Opal cannot be in a home with stairs-she does not like to be picked up and stairs are a challenge for her. She may have some arthritis that causes her to really not liked to be picked up and this is the only time she will get grumpy. Other than that she is a sweetie!December 9, 2025, 11:29 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Jack loves to play, snuggle, and follow his favorite people around the house. He’s a happy pup who gets along beautifully with other dogs and cats (though if a kitty runs, he may join in the chase just for fun!). Jack can be a little shy when trying something new, and he does seem to prefer women at first. But once he warms up, his loving and playful personality shines. He’s still learning the basics — potty training, leash walking, and simple commands — but he’s eager to please and loves spending time with his humans, especially cuddled up in bed at night. Because of his size and sensitivities, Jack needs a home with no children under the age of 10. He would thrive in a home with another dog to play with and a family ready to give him plenty of love, patience, and guidance as he grows. Jack truly is a special little guy who just wants to feel safe, loved, and part of a family. Whoever adopts him will be incredibly lucky. Requires a fenced yard. Medical Notes: Neutered Vaccinated Dewormed Microchipped Heartworm Negative ProHeart 12 Injection Maintained on monthly flea/tick preventatives Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 10, 2025, 1:15 pm
