Story
Meet Emlyn, the incredible tri-pawed superstar! Em is a 57-pound Aussie mix - she may be missing a leg, but she’s overflowing with confidence, charm, and joy. Fully house-trained and wonderfully sweet, she’s the kind of dog who fits right into home life and makes it better from day one. Outside is her happy place—she loves to romp, zoom, and play in the yard, especially when there’s snow to be conquered, proving daily that three legs don’t slow her down one bit. And once playtime is over? She’s perfectly happy to settle in and chill on the couch. Life, after all, is about balance. She’s friendly with other dogs in passing, but at heart she’d really shine as your one-and-only. In her previous home, she showed resource guarding around food, toys, and treats, so she prefers to keep the good stuff to herself. She does well with cats and would be happy to share her home with a feline friend. An adult-only household is preferred, ideally with adopters who appreciate both her playful spirit and her laid-back side—and who can provide clear boundaries and a predictable routine. If you’re looking for a resilient, joyful, and devoted companion who knows how to play hard and relax harder, this snow-loving tripod is ready to be your loyal couch-and-yard buddy. Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt! Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $300+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs. Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.

Fill out the form by clicking on the picture of the computer screen with our logo on it.  Hi! I'm Nova. I am a sweet girl, but I am cautious about being picked up. I am a little skittish around new people. I need grooming on a schedule and feel so much better after grooming. I’m a frisky little girl and I love to play with other small dogs and run in a fenced yard. After I get to know you, I love to snuggle on your lap or beside you on the couch. I am just beginning this amazing journey to learn to live life as a house pet....can you be my person and continue my journey with me?  I am responding well to schedule trips outside to potty, but I can have occasional accidents in the house if I don’t get my outside time. I’m comfortable in a harness but I can be a little goofy on a leash. I love toys! I shake them, toss them in the air and chase after them. I’m still learning so much about people as I learn to be a house pet. I need a fenced yard. Sometimes I get frightened and run. With a new family I may not come back unless I’ve chosen my new favorite person. Believe me. I can run!  I am 1 year old, I weigh 8 pounds, my adoption fee is $500 plus sales tax $22.50=$522.50  My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental if needed and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 9, 2025, 5:38 pm
