Story
Rocky is completely house trained and keeps a clean kennel here at the shelter. He does excellent with other dogs and is ok with the felines. Rocky does well for baths and car rides. Knows how to sit and takes treats nicely. No food or toy aggression. Rocky was adopted for several months but was returned due to him protecting his home. He doesn't like strangers coming into his yard or home and needs a proper introduction with new people outside of the house first, then inside of the home or even just put away in a different room completely. Rocky's ideal home would be one with a doggie playmate and someone who is dog savvy with larger breeds. With the right work he'd likely eventually do fine in a home. He was very loving towards the people that adopted him and he's had no problems meeting people here at the shelter. It's just once he gets into a home, he will become protective of the area and his people. ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED!

Story
One of our longer residents, Oreo, is available for adoption! While she is not a cookie, she is a sweet little gal who is looking for her forever home. She loves to be in the company of people and will follow you around or lay next to you on the couch. She enjoys playing with toys and taking car rides. While she did ok with cats, and played well with other dogs at doggie daycare, she doesn't like sharing a home with other dogs. If you're interested in an affectionate, snuggly companion, apply to adopt! UPDATE: ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED! Her adoption fee is $175. That helps us to cover worming, vaccines, spay/neuter, heart worm test, and microchip.

Story
Nova is a VERY sweet pit mix. A major cuddler and a professional butt wiggler. Loves scratches and belly rubs. Enjoys sunbathing when it's nice out. Rolling in the grass is a must for her everytime she goes out lol. She does well for baths and car rides. Good with most other dogs, will even play in the yard with them. She does have a prey drive for smaller animals, so no cats or itty bitty dogs. Great with people and kids! She knows how to sit and will take treats nicely. Nova is a quiet dog with us, but she'll attract attention with her weird little gremlin howls when out in public. She practically throws herself onto people for attention, so if you're sitting on the ground be aware. She had it rough before coming to us. A puppy maker for someone until they didn't need her, then passed to multiple different homes. She has been in foster with us for awhile now where we know that she's house and crate trained. She does need apoquel meds for her allergies. Roughly $100 a month at the vet she's currently with. Her adoption fee is $175. That helps us to cover worming, vaccines, spay/neuter, heart worm test, and microchip.
