Hi! My Name is Bunky
Hey there Friends!! The Shelter staff calls me Spunky Bunky since I’m so active, athletic and playful. I’m also very curious and affectionate, especially with my female friends. I can be a little picky about which males (humans and dogs) I choose to play with. I am loving and loyal and good with kids (6 and older). A good brushing of my fur is one of my favorite things and I will stick to you like glue. I have shown some herding tendencies but unless you take me to a farm with lots of cattle, I doubt you would ever notice. I’m ready for my loving family to take me home and let me shower them with love and kisses.

Predominant Breed: Collie Mix

Bronson
Hi! My Name is Bronson!
The first year of my life was a horror. I didn’t know human love and was chained to a tree. I was just a puppy when My owner had to go away and a family member took over what little care I had. By the time my owner returned he didn’t like me anymore so here I am at the Shelter, making friends with the Shelter staff and receiving lots of love. They see me as a sweetheart and know I will be a great family pet. I should be with with children 12 years and up. I need a family that is ready to love me and willing to show me the ways of the world as everything is so new to me. I hope that my new family will spend time training me so I can be the best that I can be. Please call and setup an appointment to see me and let me convince you that I will be your new best friend.

Athena
HI. MY NAME IS ATHENA
I’m a happy, playful puppy that is full of affection and I love getting attention. I love frolicking in my kiddie pool and will chase a frisbee and bring it back to you. I was dropped, along with my brother Atticus, into a neighbor’s yard. Since they already had many dogs of their own, they had no room for us so we were brought to the shelter. I am a very sweet and friendly gal. I like other dogs. I need a family that is ready to love me and willing to show me the ways of the world as everything is so new to me. I hope that my new family will spend time training me so I can be the best that I can be. Do I sound like the kind of dog you are searching for? Just call or come visit during open hours and we can meet!

CHLOE
My Name is CHLOE
I am a happy, fun-loving gal who will keep you laughing. I will make a great family pet as I love attention and have a great attitude towards humans. I’ve learned how to walk on a leash and am anxious to learn many other things from you or your preferred trainer. When I first meet you, I may come on strong as I am so excited to meet a new face (I love all humans and most other dogs). I can also be quite laid back and am comfortable just sitting beside you. I’ve earned the nickname of “Velcro” as I want to be at your side at all times. Would you like to meet me and get a couple of my yummy kisses? Please make an appointment – my shelter friends say I won’t be here long……

AJAX
Hi My name is AJAX
At one year old, I am full of energy and would like some manner training so I can learn to greet you properly. I’m very excited to make new friends with people and other dogs and my exposure in the cat room reveals that I may be a bit frightened of cats. I’m very sweet and young and need to be exposed to new environments. I’m hoping an active younger family will want me so they can give me all the training I need and have the energy to keep up with me. I will keep you running and laughing and steal your heart in no time. I am happy to tell you that I am house trained but a quick refresher course in your home may be needed. I am also crate trained!! Yeah!! Can you make an appointment to do a meet and greet? I promise you will want to take me home. Please call……

AXEL
HI. MY NAME IS AXEL.
I am a happy and fun-loving young guy who will keep you laughing. I am both house-broken and crate trained and get along great with kids.

Since I’m a big guy, I need an owner that can rough-house with me and train me to be the perfect dog. I am anxious for my forever home and have so much love in my heart to give. Please call for an appointment and meet me. You won’t be disappointed.

Hi! My name is JoJo
I am a warm, sweet and very loving pup. I get excited about life and can guarantee that because I love people and want to be with them so much, I will stick to my human like glue. I have no idea what the phrase “personal space” means. As far as I am concerned, human laps are the best place for me to sit and relax. I am young and can act very puppyish sometimes. My living situation was not great so I was taken to the shelter so I could find a better home. Are you looking for a loving companion? I could be the perfect match for you.

Blake
HI. MY NAME IS BLAKE.
I am an owner surrender so living in a home atmosphere is not new to me. I was surrendered along with my other dog house mate, Damien, and we get along well. I love people and getting attention and lots of affection is one of my favorite things. I’m sweet and pretty low key. My expressive eyes will draw you in and capture your heart.
Note: I love kids but need to be careful with younger children as I can play rough and could unintentionally hurt a small child.

Stitch
I am a sweet affectionate boy with a happy go lucky attitude. I want my very own human to love and play with me. I will do best in a fenced yard as I’m very curious about other small animals. I have mastered the sit command and I listen quite well. I don’t think I’m ready to be around small children or cats. I mainly want my forever human. I have demonstrated ‘house-broken’ behavior and I am so anxious to please and be your best friend. You need to come meet me and let me steal your heart – I’m confident it won’t take long.
