Story
"Hi! My name is Goose. Wanna become friends? I am a great boy...I'm housebroken, like kids, cats and other dogs. I know how to sit and stay! Although I'm no longer a pup, I am playful and have a youthful outlook on life! This is my second time here. My first time here in 2017, I was adopted by a great young guy. We lived with his mom and all was going well for years, until we moved into our own house. He got a great new job, but works long, long hours. Being left alone at home made me nervous. I heard them call it "separation anxiety'. Weird tho...here at the shelter, I've shown no signs of anxiety whatsoever! Maybe I'm better now, but I still may be afraid of storms and fireworks. I'm a gentle, friendly guy, and like everyone I meet. My dream is to be in a home with kids or grandkids to play with, or adults who like to play tug-of-war. I get along with other dogs...small or large. And, I'm okay with cats too! I want to be an indoor dog, where my humans are home more than they are away. And, a comfy bed would be amazing! Because have an adventurous spirit, I need a secure fenced yard, or be taken out on leash at all times." ..... Please come meet this sweet soul soon!

Story
“My name is Toby and I’m about 3 years old. I came here the end of May. I didn't live in the best situation and the folks here really want a wonderful home for me. They like me, and I like them! I want to please sooo people so much. My hobbies are taking treats gently, sitting on command, and giving cuddles. I also walk nicely on a leash! Overall, I'm a sweet, easy-going boy. I am submissive, so I need to only be with kind, calm people. I love kids. I recently went an event and got to meet lots of kids and new people. It was soooo fun! I lived with other dogs before, so bring your dog if you come to meet me! My only vices are chickens, ducks or other fowl. None of those in my new home, please. My dream family will give me belly rubs, buy me a toy and maybe my own special blanket. Car rides would be great too! If you are looking for a cuddle-buddy who will tap dance for treats and lay beside you all evening for TV time, I'm your guy! .......... Please come meet this sweet soul soon!

Story
Hi there. My name is Dice. I came here as just a baby, and now I am around 3 months old. My mommy is a pure bred American Pittie, and our dad...well, who knows. But, we think maybe Pointer, because my cute freckles. I'm a curious boy who loves to check things out and have fun. But, I also loved to be loved on. Next to exploring, getting cuddles is my favorite activity. As a pup, I get along with other dogs, cats and kids. (Since I'm a baby myself, it might be best that your kids are a bit older.) My dream home will be one a farm with room to run, or have a fenced yard, or have family that will take me on long walks daily. I can't be only an outside dog, because my coat won't keep me warm in cold weather. Besides, I want to grow up with my family as my best friends. The older dogs here tell me wonderful stories about watching TV and going on car rides with humans. And closets with dog food in them! I'd love a home with cool things like that! If you are looking for a small puppy with adorable spots who likes to play, I'm your guy! ....... Dice is up-to-date on all age-appropriate shots and will also be neutered and micro-chipped.

Story
This little doggie is so sweet loving and nice. Her original owners abandoned them, then when someone else took them in they chained her and her mom up and breed them outside for years. We finally got them and are needing a home for at least the little girl. She will be fixed by the first week in October. She has not gotten shots but we did treat her with flea and tick medicine and baths. She loves are dog and likes to play with are kitties. We cannot keep her for very long but we wish we could. The younger one loves to play with her mom and toys. She is very willing to take baths and get into pools. We have taken her on walks and she is doing great with it. She has been around a lot of kids and only wants attention from them she definitely does not discriminate. She is also so smart. We taught her how to sit and lay in ONE day. She has beautiful eyes and gorgeous coloring on her fur. She is very active and just wants to be around someone.

Story
This little lady is the cuddliest dog ever she only wants to lay on the couch or the ground with you. She loves to kiss and get up on you. She was abandoned with her daughter ( we think). And then left outside chained and breed for years, when we finally got them we started looking at shelters for them that are no kill and we know, but they are all full. She will be fixed by the first week in October and we will find out both of their ages approximately the same day. She isn’t good with walks YET, but likes to hangout with anyone whenever. They are a little scared of fast hand movement when they first meet people, but after she warms up she is fine. She will always make time for you to pet her belly. We are very willing to drop off or if you want to come pick her up that is totally fine.
