HI. MY NAME IS DELIA
I am a sweet, lovable girl who needs attention and belly rubs. I am calm, not a barker, and I just love to cuddle. I am good on a leash and long walks are fun for me. I am crate trained and keep my kennel clean, and since I came from a home atmosphere the adjustment should be easy. I get along with submissive dogs well and there were many other dogs in the home I was surrendered from. I do enjoy chasing squirrels, I’m just not good at catching them. Kids over 6 years of age would be a better match for me. Let’s meet so I can melt your heart!

Predominant Breed: Bull Terrier/Rat Terrier
Sex: Female - Spayed
Age: 8.5 Years
Weight: 51 pounds
Color: Tan/White
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes - over 6

Hi My name is Bowen
I’m all puppies and sunshine. From my appearance, upon entering the shelter as a stray it was obvious that I came from unfavorable conditions. I had numerous bite wounds all over my body that have been stitched up and now I’m ready to find a home. I need to get love, affection and attention and I’m the master of hugs and smiles. My size, 49 pounds, makes me smaller than most of my breed so I will make a great lap dog. I like to keep my kennel clean so any house-breaking that might be needed should be a breeze. I know how to “sit” but would love to have more training. I can be a bit dog selective with males but I love the ladies! Let’s meet one-on-one and talk about me becoming the newest member of your family.
Quick Facts:
Predominant Breed: Pit Bull Terrier/mixed
Sex: Male (neutered)
Age: 2.1 Years
Weight: 49 pounds
Color: Brown

HI. MY NAME IS ANGELINA.
I am housebroken and crate trained. I know basic commands such as sit, stay and wait. I’m good on a leash. I am a smart ,sweet, lovable girl who enjoys playing with toys and a good game of tug. Although I came from bad beginnings, while being fostered I’m refining my home etiquette. I love getting affection and nothing is better than cuddling with my favorite people. While at the shelter I was known for being shy and nervous with new people and dogs but now I meet my neighbors and canine friends with a calm and friendly attitude. I don’t react to the neighbor’s cat or when dogs are near me when I’m out walking. It’s not unusual for me to sit at the window for 30 minutes or more watching what’s going on. My foster parents call me the neighborhood busybody.

Predominant Breed: American Bull Dog/ Mix

HI. MY NAME IS STARDUST.
I am still a puppy at only 1 year of age. I am a very enthusiastic girl that loves affection and attention. I have lots of energy so I will keep you on your toes. I am rather a petite breed mix at only 42 pounds. I have lived with smaller children in the past so I should be fine in a home with children 5 years and above. I still need some training as I am still living my puppy stage and need guidance with basic manners. I have been to recent community events and I have behaved well. I am fine with car rides too. If you have the time, patience and energy to teach me what I need to know to be your best dog, we can become best friends.

Predominant Breed: Boston Terrier/Mixed

HI. MY NAME IS FREIDA
My breed is listed as Mastiff but actually I'm a Pres Canario which is the Spanish equivalent of a Mastiff. I’m such a sweet and happy girl. Before I came to the shelter I was left outside and I was used for breeding purposes. Now I want to live with a loving family and reside in a warm home. I like people. I like them because they give me attention and affection which is one of my favorite things in life. I like to take walks and I’m good on a lead and I am a gentle walker. I want to please my humans so training should be fun for both of us. I am a large dog so I may inadvertently knock small children down. I should probably be the only dog in your home as other dogs bother me. If you are unfamiliar with my breed, check out Presa Canario on Google to see if I am a good match for you and your family.

Predominant Breed: Mastiff (Pres Canario)

HI. MY NAME IS JUNE BUG.
My start in life was a very bad one. But I am still a sweet and quirky pup inside and out, no matter my beginnings. My bone structure is such that it looks like the powers that be threw many different types and sizes together to create me. Short legs, long body, lots of muscle, square jaw, sway back, large hips,…you name it! I’m not a fan of strangers because they scare me but once I know someone I get excited about seeing them and becoming better friends. Playing ball always creates that bond and I’m pretty good at ball. I like the tug game too. I need exposure to the outside world which will help with my self confidence. I may need pain management in my senior years as the veterinarian says I may suffer from arthritis or other such ailments down the road. I know I’m asking for just the right caring and compassionate human and I hope that you are that special one for me.
Quick Facts:
Predominant Breed: Am. Bull dog/mixed
Sex: Female
Age: 2.3 years
Weight: 63 pounds
Color: Tan

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.
