Story
Sid was found at our local dump. He is a smart, energetic dog approximately 2 years old. We have 4 other dogs and he is not getting along with one of them in particular. He needs a place where he can work off his energy. Very friendly generally, but with shepherd mix he is also protective. We are working with a trainer to develop manners. He does get along with 3 of dogs, however he can be food protective so they are all fed separately. He is crate trained.

Like many herding breed mixes, she has a natural instinct and thrives with activity and engagement. A backyard where she can explore and play would be her dream come true! She absolutely loves attention from her humans and would be the perfect addition to a home looking for a loyal and affectionate companion. She deserves a forever home where she can grow, play, and be loved unconditionally. If you're ready to welcome a sweet, spunky, and devoted best friend into your life, Aubrey is waiting to meet you! She is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Oliver (also known as Ollie) is a handsome Hound/Australian Shepherd mix. He's in the teenaged stage of dog development so is smart, capable, and highly trainable! Ollie has done very well with basic training and structure we've given him here at the shelter. He's been to various events and been a total gentleman. Ollie has a high prey drive which is great for training, but not so good for small furry animals like cats, rabbits, or small dogs. He behaves when around older children who know how to act around dogs. Ollie does well with other dogs but needs a controlled introduction to new dogs. Our friends at Camp Merricks can facilitate a meet and greet at their facility if you have other dogs. He is a regular day camper there so they know him well. Ollie is handsome, smart and ready to learn all the things his new family want him to know. Stop in and meet him today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.    December 25, 2025, 5:59 am

Story
🤠 Meet Cowboy 🤠 Cowboy is an approximately 8-month-old sweetheart who’s already shown us just how resilient and loving he is. After spending weeks roaming the county and crossing busy highways, Cowboy is finally safe — and proving to be an exceptional young dog. Despite being thin and covered in scabs when found, Cowboy’s gentle nature shines through. He has been fantastic with dogs, cats, and even chickens, making him a rare gem for the right home. He’s calm, easygoing, and incredibly sweet — the kind of dog that hops into the car, lays down, and rides like a pro. Cowboy is still just a puppy and will need continued care, groceries, and lots of love to help him fully heal and thrive. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, companionship, and that special bond that comes from saving a dog who truly deserves a second chance. Cowboy will be available for adoption through Hickman Humane Society once his stray hold and veterinary care are complete. If you’re looking for a young dog with an old soul and a heart of gold, Cowboy might just be your guy. 🐾💙
