Hi there – I’m Bitsy and am so glad you stopped by to visit with me. I am full of energy and want to be with you and give you hugs and kisses. I will need a lot of chew toys. I might be a good apartment dog. I am ready for my forever home and hope I can convince you to seriously consider me. I mean, what else could you be looking for in a small dog? I love to run outside and play. I’m a good girl and very anxious to please. I am 17 pounds.

Please adopt Alice! She's been at the shelter for so long and has watched all her friends go home! She is such a sweet girl. Just a little picky about who she hangs out with. She's a great cuddler and loves affection. She'll be a wonderful companion and watch dog! She'll keep all the squirrels out of your yard when she goes out to play! She is always happy to see her favorite people! She loves to play in the water! If you would like to meet Alice she shows her true personality and loving ways away from the kennel. She really is a a fun girl! Won't you give her a chance? She is such a sweetheart!

Zeus
Hello! My name is Zeus. I’m a very enthusiastic “sniffer” . I’m a bit shy meeting new people, but I will warm up quickly. I am a very happy dog – particularly around water. Yes, do I love baths, but I especially like the beach and playing in the waves. I am looking for my forever home and you will be happy to know I am already housebroken and love playing with kids. I lie down and sit on command (I may need a little reminder training but I mastered this before landing in the shelter). I do like to chew – pretty much anything which is why I’m here. My other choice was outside but I am very much a house dog. A more patient owner will teach me better manners and provide enough chew toys to keep me entertained! Please come visit me. I know you won’t be able to leave me here....

Meet Sweet, Little Gatsby. He’s actually really fun and playful, he’s just looking very serious in his pictures, as finding a new home and family is serious business. Gatsby is 7 years old and 29 pounds. He will be neutered on 11/3/2020. Photos courtesy Rescue Dog Photography.

Hey everyone – I’m Gatsby. I am very sweet and gentle and definitely have the “beagle nose to the ground” trait. I’m a big tail wagger and I like to go outside and play in the yard. I love toys and like to play with balls outside and my favorite chew toys while inside. My voice is somewhat unique and the shelter folks say I sing the beagle song. I am anxious for my forever home and would love to meet you and have you check me out. If you’re looking for a friendly, well-mannered companion, please come and meet me. I’m betting you will take me home!!!

I am very even tempered, no drama here. I enjoy being around both other dogs and kids. My energy level is medium as after a good walk, it’s nice to nap a little while. I love to ride in the car and explore places you visit. I’m loyal and sweet and just don’t know how else to convince you that I would be perfect as the family pet! I’d love to be part of your family and make your home my forever home.
