Hi My Name is AJAX
At 1.3 years old, I am full of energy and, although I know many commands already, I will need more training as I am so smart and need to be kept engaged because I get bored easily. I am cautiously reserved with strangers but very loyal to my family. I’m very excited to make new friends with people and other dogs. I do not get along with cats so I cannot be in a home with cats. I’m very sweet and young and love 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 they 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 and crate trained!! Yeah!! Can you make an appointment to meet with me? I promise you will want to take me home. Please call……

HI. MY NAME IS JUNE BUG.
I am a happy, sweet and playful 2 year old that needs to experience the world. My life before arriving at the shelter was not a good one. I have never lived inside a home or had the freedom to run outside so I need to be an indoor pet and look forward to living in a warm home with a nice yard to play in and humans that can spend time introducing me to life. I don’t really know any basic manners but I am willing to learn. I like humans and some other very submissive dogs but cats and other small animals are definitely not my style. My body structure is so unique that I may have some issues later in life but that is just a guess. Come visit me and I will have you smiling.

Predominant Breed: Am. Bull dog/mixed
Sex: Female
Age: 2.2 years
Weight: 60 pounds
Color: Tan
Kids: Yes (teenagers)
Dogs: selective/submissive
Cats: No small animals

Willie
HI. MY NAME IS WILLIE.
Although I am of the hound breed, I’m NOT your typical hound with any of those hound qualities like incessant sniffing or prey drive. I am a very sweet boy and quite interested in people and not whatever smells are around. I love tummy rubs and making friends with new humans. I like other dogs and would benefit from a home that has an older more confident and laid back type of dog already. I would just love a dog companion to show me the ropes. I take a minute to warm to strangers as I am reserved at first and I need to check them out but a quick treat from a new person makes me a friend forever as I am extremely food motivated. I’m working on taking food from the hand in a more gentlemanly way because I get over excited sometimes. A home with younger children may frighten me a bit because loud noises, crying and sudden movement might scare me. I am the quiet yet active type. Come and visit me to see if I would be a good addition to you and your family. I look forward to meeting you.

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.

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.

Predominant Breed: Pit Bull Terrier/mixed
Sex: Male (altered)
Age: 6.5 years
Weight: 65 pounds
Color: Brindle/White
Kids: Ok with older kids
