Lily is a 3 year old Husky that was surrendered to us along with her puppies back in January! Lily was very underweight on arrival, and had quite the number of pups feeding off of her. Now that she is alone she has been gaining weight and playing like a pup again! Lily loves having dogs around and would do well with another one in the household! She loves playing in the backyard and enjoys being brushed - thankfully - because man does she shed! She would benefit from having an owner that has experience in training pups because she has had none. She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
Banks is a 1.5 year old Bulldog x Great Dane mix that was surrendered by his previous home due to no fault of his own. This big boy came in very skinny, scared and unsure of people. He would spend most of his days curled up in a ball too scared of his own shadow. One of the staff members here has been working with him for the last few weeks and has made a lot of progress with him! We know that Banks does best with females, is extremely food motivated and seems to be okay with dogs his size. We are looking to place Banks in an experienced home where he can continue to come out of his shell slowly. Banks has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Marvin is a 10 month old Chocolate Lab that was surrendered by his previous owner who could no longer care for him. This handsome boy is quite the handful as he is still a puppy and needs to learn some manners! Marv knows "sit" "paw" and "down" but doesn't understand personal space - he loves to jump up and can be quite the strong puller on walks. Marvin is a puppy though and will learn - especially since he is extremely food motivated! Marvin seems to be okay with dogs similar to his size. He has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Winston is a 2 year old domestic cat that was trapped on a rural property. This shy boy is still coming out of his shell but we know with more patience and love he will be a dream boy! Winston is vocal, and although scared at first - once you get him going, he is non stop. Bum up in the air, shy purrs and some head butts with each and every pet he gets. Winston would do best in a quieter home with no other pets or small children. He has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in him please fill out an Adoption Form.
Josie is a 10 week old Boston Terrier that was came to us when her very pregnant mama was surrendered 2 months ago. Josie is extremely playful and is super happy - always looking for a toy to grab or a friend to play with! She loves cats and knows when they don't want to play any more, her best friend is a huge doberman! Josie has just started with her puppy training so she is not 100 % house trained yet! She would be a great addition to any family. This sweet girl has been vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. She will be spayed at a later date. If you are interested in her please fill out an Adoption Form.
These boys are 3 year old brothers that were trapped on a rural property with some other kitties. They are friendly, love head butting and will purr non stop once they get to know you! It's only been a few weeks but they are coming out of their shells with us already. Ted and Fred don't love being picked up but I'm sure in time that is something they will be up for given how loving they are already! They would do best in a quieter home. Ted and Fred have been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. If you are interested in them please fill out an Adoption Form.
