Story
Meet Marci! Marci is one unique pup, but her uniqueness is what makes her so loveable! The first thing you`ll notice about Marci is her fur; in truth, she is more floof than dog. However, her most unique feature is what we call her `chicken wing.` She was born with a deformed front right leg, but you won`t see it slow her down. She chases after her friends with no issue, and when she runs, she turns into a blur of black fur with a big open smile. She`s guaranteed to make anyone laugh. Come down to HP to schedule an appointment, and get ready to fall in love with Marci`s infectious energy!D.O.B: 7-26-25

AVAILABLE SOON! I haven’t arrived at the adoption center just yet - I’m getting ready for adoption! Please fill out an adoption application if you’d like to meet me once I’m available. I'm 12 lbs., and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $550 Meet Willow! This beautiful Shih Tzu is on the hunt for her forever home, and she’s ready to steal hearts. Willow is truly one of the sweetest pups you’ll ever meet; gentle, loving, and great with kids of all ages as well as other dogs. She’s house- and crate-trained, making her an easy addition to any home. Willow enjoys car rides, spa days in the tub, and getting brushed like the little princess she is. Vet visits? No problem at all; she handles them like a pro. Willow also knows the commands “sit” and “off,” showing off her smart and eager-to-please side. When she’s not charming everyone she meets, you’ll find her cuddled up on a squishy bed, soaking in the cozy life. She also has a goofy, playful side that’s guaranteed to keep you smiling. If you’re looking for the perfect all-around companion, Willow is your girl. All dogs are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, heartworm tested (if age appropriate), and up-to-date on preventatives at the time of adoption. All household members and any dogs from the household need to be present to be able to adopt. A photo ID will be required at the time of adoption. Appointments are recommended. All applications are considered general. Specific animals are NOT put on hold for adoption. When you visit, our adoption counselors will be able to make suggestions based on the type of pet you are looking for and help you find the best fit for your family. Animal House Shelter cannot guarantee the breeds of the adoptable animals. The animals are posted on the website as the breed or breed mix based on their physical characteristics they most resemble. We also cannot guarantee the ages of our adoptable animals or how large puppies will be when fully grown. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Story
Rocky is 5 years old. We acquired him from family friends who still have his parents. He is a loyal companion. Protective. Alerts us when someone is in the yard, at the door, etc. Craves attention. Needs to be with a family that is home with him often. Loves to play fetch. Loves massages. Loves treats. Loves walks. Loves car rides. His best friend is our cat. He is house trained, he will let us know when he has to go, but when we are gone for an extended period of time, he will potty in the house. We recently started putting him in a kennel when we are going to be gone for more than a couple hours. We are a busy family and feel that Rocky deserves to be with a family that can give him more attention. His biggest downfall is that he is food aggressive. If he finds human food or we drop human food and he gets ahold of it he becomes aggressive if we try to take it away, so we don’t try to anymore.
