HI. MY NAME IS DANIA.
I came in with Major, a 1-year-old male that may be my son, so we can both be adopted together for the price of one. We can also be adopted separately as we don’t need to stay together. I am a compact bundle of love and joy. At 4 years of age I am fully grown and usually calm but can still get my puppy going when it’s time to play. I’m always happy with a big smile for everyone that comes along to introduce themselves. Whether you are looking for one dog or two, you should come to meet both of us and decide for yourself which (or both) is the best match for you.

HI. MY NAME IS PARKER.
I didn’t have a very nice beginning in life but now I am a strong, happy boy full of energy. I have been channeling my energy into learning new commands and good dog manners (check out my video above!). But I still like to run until I drop when the circumstances allow. I am learning good behavior while riding in the car and I am beginning to enjoy those car rides. I have become a favorite with many at the shelter. It is nice here at the shelter but I’m just not cut out for this type of living. I need open spaces and freedom to do doggie stuff. But most importantly I need affection and someone that will spend time showing me the world and training me because I am smart, a quick learner, and I love to show off once I’ve learned something new. I walk well on a lead and really enjoy my walks. If you think I might be the dog for you, please call and make an appointment so we can meet and get to know each other.

HI. MY NAME IS NORA.
The beginning of my life was not very good. But after living in the shelter I have come to understand how wonderful it is to receive good food, warm blankets, a roof over my head and human attention. But what I really need is a loving home. I am a sweet and lovable girl with a big heart and a great personality. I love to give kisses and snuggles. Affection and attention are my favorite pastimes and I love all the people I have met. My goofy Boxer breed comes out and I get very enthusiastic when people come to spend time with me. I’m treat oriented so that will make the training that I need so much easier. Because I am medium to high energy, I will keep you on your toes and leave you laughing. I am smaller in stature at only 44 pounds so I am a bit easier to manage. I will need a blanket at bedtime as I like to crawl under it to sleep. Come and meet me and we will become fast friends.

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.

HI. MY NAME IS FENDER
At only 11 months of age I am still a young buck with lots of learning to do. But I am energetic and I'm a quick learner. At medium to high energy, I will need someone that can keep up with me, spend time training me and help to mold me into the best dog I can be. Because I am very treat oriented, training should be easy. I have learned how to 'sit' but I'm still a bit too rambunctious to 'stay' for long. I love to get affection and I also need lots of attention. My cute face and brindle coat will capture your heart. HI. MY NAME IS FENDER.

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.

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.

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.
