Adopting an animal from our shelter is a unique experience. We are a small shelter in a growing community which allows us to make each adoption personal. Our staff will be able to give you information about the animal you are interested in adopting and may also be able to recommend animals that would fit into your lifestyle. Matching each animal to the appropriate home allows for a much smoother transition for both the animal and the adopter. We do require an application that must be approved prior to finalizing any adoption. Every animal is seen by a licensed veterinarian and fully vetted* before going to their new home. The adoption fee for dogs is $85.00. The adoption fee for cats is $50.00.

Gator came to the shelter after he was removed from his previous owner for neglect. Gator was extremely thin and was left outside in the freezing cold. He has fully recovered (and then some) and is doing well. He is a big love and would be a great buddy for the right person. In general, he does not get along well with other male dogs but seems to do okay with females. He is very gentle and affectionate with people but may be too much for small children but he is easily excited and will jump. He doesn't realize his size. He likes toys and treats and absolutely loves his bed- he is a bit of a lazy boy. Gator will need a home without cats. A fenced yard is required.

Ashton came to the shelter as a stray. She is a sweet girl that just needs a little time to warm up to her new people. She is very quiet and calm and likes to come sit close by but wants it to be on her terms so she feels safe. She is good with other kitties and is very affectionate once she in comfortable. Her adoption fee is reduced to $20 Primary Color: Tabby Age: 2yrs 2mths 2wks Animal has been Spayed

Ginger was surrendered to the shelter after her owners found her a month prior. They tried to keep her but she was not a good fit for their home. Ginger is very energetic. Ginger loves to play with other animals. A dog her size (35lbs) or smaller would be best, she does not seem to like dogs bigger than her. Ginger needs a home where she can gets lost of exercise. We expect she is part feist which is similar to a jack russell terrier but larger and a very energetic hunting breed. Ginger should not be in a home with cats. Her ideal place would likely be on a farm where she could get plenty of exercise or with a very active person that likes spending time outdoors.

Newman came to the shelter as a stray. He was covered in ticks but well fed and very friendly so we aren't sure what his story might be. He is a very sweet guy that loves people and attention and is good with other animals. Newman is still a pup and will need some basic guidance and training but he has a great personality and will make a great addition to a family.

Kramer is a playful, happy guy. He looks and acts like a 5 month old puppy but he is estimated to be around 1 year old. Kramer is very friendly and does well with other dogs. He will need a family that can give him plenty of time to play and burn some energy but he has a great personality and will shower you with licks of love in return! Kramer will most likely need a home without cats as he will chase them. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 40lbs Age: 0yrs 10mths 0wks Animal has been Neutered

Brandy came to the shelter as a stray. She is a very affectionate girl that would be a great companion. She rides well in the care and walks pretty well on leash. Brandy will need a home without small animals (cats) and without livestock as she will chase. Brandy seems to do fine with other medium to large dogs. She is very easy going and loves all people she meets. Primary Color: Blonde Secondary Color: White Weight: 62.5625lbs Age: 1yrs 0mths 2wks Animal has been Spayed

Simon previously lived outdoors with a colony of community cats that were fed and cared for by several people in the neighborhood. Simon was getting picked on by the other male cats and constantly had cuts and injuries so it would be best if he could find a home away from them. He would be a great candidate for a barn home but would also be happy in an inside home that is quiet and patient. He is shy with new people but very sweet and loves pets once he is comfortable. His adoption fee is reduced to $20 Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Age: 1yrs 8mths 0wks Animal has been Neutered

Alice came to the shelter as a stray. She is a happy, energetic girl that is very friendly and loves play. She does fine with other dogs, we are not sure about cats. Alice loves people of all ages. She would benefit from some general training and a routine but her overall loving personality will definitely make you want to work through that with her.

Wilma is a sweet, friendly kitty that likes attention. She is good with other cats. Wilma came to us as a stray so we don't know much about her past.

Taco came to the shelter as a stray. He is a very loving and happy little guy that constantly wants attention. Taco gets along well with other dogs and can be quite the playful pup when he gets excited.
The downside is that Taco has heartworms, a parasitic infections that is transmitted by mosquitoes. Due to his age Taco is not a candidate for the one time treatment that we normally administer before dogs are placed up for adoption so we are using a different treatment method- a once a month chewable for life, called Heartguard. Healthy dogs take this same chewable as a preventative to keep from getting heartworms. Heartworms are not transmittable from dog to dog (or any other animal), they can only be transmitted by the bite of a mosquito but all dogs should be on a preventative to keep them from contracting heartworms should they be exposed.
Taco should remain on his once a month chewable for the rest of his life- the first 12 month supply will be included in his adoption. At this time we do not expect that Taco will need extra care but as with any aging animal it is always a possibility and something his new family should be aware of. At this time Taco is happy, healthy (other than the information provided) and is more than ready for a family to call his own!

Scout was surrendered to the shelter as a stray. He is super affectionate and loves belly rubs. We aren't sure what his life has been like and he does have a bit of a strange gait when he runs but his past certainly hasn't affected her personality. He is fine with other cats and would love a home where he could get tons of attention. Primary Color: Tabby Secondary Color: White Age: 1yrs 0mths 0wks Animal has been Neutered
