Story
Lucy is a sweet and worried lady who is looking for a quiet home. She will need some time and space to decompress. Once she is settled, Lucy loves hanging out with her family and social walks with other calm dogs. She has a good history of coexisting with a cat and living with children. Lucy is housebroken, although she may need a refresher after the shelter. And this girl is smart, smart, smart. Watch out! The biggest problem is that this pretty girl can be worried about strangers. She hopes her adopters will help her out when around new people. They will need to watch her body language and give her opportunities to meet the new people or abstain. Lucy is such a good girl. Would you like to meet her?

In return, he`ll provide entertainment, companionship, and plenty of laughs.Alfalfa may enjoy sharing his home with a cat.If you`re a fan of clever dogs with strong opinions and even stronger charm, Alfalfa is ready to interview you for the position of `his person.`If you are interested in adopting Alfalfa please come to the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm with all of the members of your home.

Story
Meet Sam, a 9-year-old neutered male Rat Terrier with a huge heart and deep devotion to his people. He has been loved since puppyhood, and we are seeking a home where he can truly thrive. Sam is affectionate, gentle, loyal, and happiest when included in daily life. He bonds closely and loves to relax near his person. He is fully house trained, crate trained, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. He has received excellent veterinary care and responds well to calm, consistent leadership. He is used to a training e-collar and understands structure. Sam would do best as the only dog in a peaceful home where someone is around often. He will come with his crate, bowls, toys, e-collar, and complete vet records. He has so much love to give and deserves a devoted forever home. We would love to meet potential adopters for a walk or hello!
