Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.General, whose foster mom calls him Zip, and his housemate Bobo, were signed over to the shelter several months ago. They have done remarkably well adjusting to life in a foster home, and in fact, we think they are looking better than ever due to the extraordinary care and medical intervention they are receiving. Control of parasites  and nutritious food has made a huge difference in their appearance as well as in their attitudes. they were not well house trained when they first arrived, but are loving the chance to go out and play in the yard, and use grass for their potty time. We are talking about both of them here because it seems general is the support for his housemate Bobo in all things in life. He adores her, watches over her, and if she is stressed during times of loud noises or thunderstorms, he is there to comfort her. It is really adorable to witness, and because of that, we are really hoping they can be adopted together.If you are looking for sweet love, perhaps General Zip and Bobo would be perfect for you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Remember our first post about these three terriers? After the loss of a family member left them homeless, they were brought to the shelter.  We had no idea what sex they were or their ages or breeds! The good news is, we have made friends with them, discovered they are about 18 months old, and have discovered they are all males! Thanks to Bry with Sit Pretty Grooming LLC for offering to take the three in and freshen them up this week, so they could more readily fostered!  Turns out once they got on the grooming table, they were pretty easy clients, according to their groomers who worked extra hard to get them done! Tin-man is black and white, more like a Shih Tzu perhaps, and also is not house trained. He is also peeing on absolutely everything in the house, so a belly band is the only thing that is working well for him at this point as well. He is a follower, and if Lion is on an adventure, Tin-man wants to be right there. He is not quite as pushy, however, but he does enjoy laying on the bed, and watching TV from the sofa. We are hoping to have these guys sterilized in the next couple weeks so they will be ready to be adopted. In the meantime, their  foster moms are working hard to teach them house manners, and routines.  We will not be placing them in the same home, but feel they will do well with other nice dogs, and cats as well. we have not tested them with children yet. of three fuzzy little dogs came in to the shelter on Friday. We are getting to know them, and look forward to making friends, and introducing you to their needs and personalities. They are still chilling out and are not yet ready for handling. Their  story: their owner passed away, and family members had no information or details on their sexes, names or ages. We are guessing they are terrier mixes, weighing about 20 pounds. Right now, they are finding comfort in being together, and we like to help dogs that are stressed at the shelter stay together in a family group initially.   Canned food was welcomed last night, and we will offer yummy treats today.
