Roxy is a 4 year old SPAYED female American Pit Bull Terrier mix surrendered to the shelter. Roxy is long and lean and so pretty! She is housebroken. She is a bit shy when first meeting new people but quickly warms up. So if you see her in her kennel acting a bit nervous it's only because she really is not a fan of being at the shelter right now... but once out of her her kennel and away from the other dogs, she's a very good, sweet girl! Roxy sits AND shakes perfectly on command... what a smart girl! And she plays ball like a rockstar!! Roxy will not be placed in a home with other dogs.

The life he knew for so many years has changed and he's now waiting patiently for a new family. His face is a little grey so he may be a mature boy.

We are rooting for this sweet boy...


Mya  -  12239

She's such a warm, friendly dog! Mya has gotten along nicely with children. She is not too excited about living with other dogs or with kitties either, so she's hoping for her very own home to be spoiled all on her own!


Rabbit  -  12232

This precious face belongs to Rabbit! She is a female American Pit Bull Terrier puppy (under one year old). Rabbit is such a good dog... she knows her basic commands, walks nicely on a leash, and LOVES children! She is also so fun to play with... still having lots of happy puppy energy, she just plays with pure joy, it's adorable! But Rabbit calms down so nicely when it's time to relax. Please consider this good girl for your family!


Walker  -  11993

Walker is a 5 year old NEUTERED male Shih Tzu / Poodle mix. Walker definitely lives up to his name... he LOVES going for walks! He's such a funny little guy. He will definitely need to be groomed on a regular basis, but he's told us that he likes his messy hair... he's not a fan of having his head brushed! He is also a bit possessive of his food, so will do best in a home without children. He has previously lived with dogs and cats. But we suggest careful introductions with both. Walker is a playful, funny boy... so please stop by the shelter to meet him today!


Denver  -  12186

Denver is a super handsome adult male Rottweiler found as a stray in late March. The staff and volunteers all really enjoy Denver! He's a very happy, fun boy with lots of young energy. Denver is super friendly and he loves to play with toys! Denver may have sustained an old injury to his left rear leg so he does limp on occasion. But it definitely does not slow him down. He is still a joyous playful Rottweiler. He is on the thin side, so we are giving him extra meals (which he LOVES) to help him gain some weight. You'll have to stop in sometime soon to take our Denver out for a walk!

UPDATE: If you see Denver acting a tiny bit nervous in his kennel, please just be patient with him. He is a true gentleman when out on walks and away from all the other pups!


Lula  -  12354

UPDATE: Because of her senior status, Lula falls under our "FREE TO A GREAT HOME" program!


Stitch  -  12324

Stitch is a sweet 11 month old male American Pit Bull Terrier surrendered to the shelter in late April. Stitch is such an adorable boy! He is well behaved, walks nicely on a leash, and sits and lays down on command! He has young, happy energy but that's because he's still a puppy! But we are definitely impressed with how good he is considering his young age. Stitch has lived nicely with children, dogs and cats... he's also housebroken! Please take a moment to meet Stitch. He just might be the perfect dog for your family!


Lucy  -  12401

Lucy is a funny Collie mixed puppy found as a stray in early May. Lucy is our resident go, go, go girl! She's active and always happy! Lucy will definitely need some basic training... she most likely had very little in her previous life. But her goofy, fun puppy personality is just addicting! So we know she'll make a wonderful pet for a family that is willing to work with her and give her some guidance. Stop in to meet Lucy in person!


Zoe  -  12353

Zoe is a gorgeous 10 year old female Norwegian Elkhound surrendered to the shelter in late April. Zoe is a VERY calm, docile girl. She is wonderful on her leash walks, she sits and lays down on command, and is housebroken! Zoe has lived nicely with children in her previous home. She may do best in a home without other dogs or cats, according to her previous owner. Zoe has a cyst on her left eye and one on her back that may need some minor vet care as she gets older. However the benefits of adopting an older dog (calm, gentle, well behaved) and giving them their best years, outweigh some of the extra caregiving that is required. Please consider stopping in to meet Zoe!

UPDATE: Because of her senior status, Zoe falls under our "FREE TO A GREAT HOME" program!

Boomer  -  12382   ADOPTED

Boomer is a small, adorable male Pug / Beagle mix found as a stray in early May. This little boy is so sweet and cute but so very bashful right now. He needs a home very soon so he can gain confidence and feel secure and loved. We can definitely tell he has great potential, because when we sit quietly with him, he comes up close to be near you... you can tell he just wants to be loved! If you think your home might be perfect for Boomer, please stop in to meet him!


Rileigh  -  12383   ADOPTED

Rileigh is a small 9 month old female Blue Heeler mix surrendered to the shelter in early May. Rileigh is an adorable, shy little girl. She has lived nicely with children, dogs and with cats! Rileigh is also housebroken! She knows her basic commands such as sit and down and she walks nicely on her leash. Rileigh's a bit timid when first meeting new people but will soon come in for snuggles and scratches when she feels comfortable! She's so young we know she'll make herself right at home with a new family!


Charlie  -  12350   ADOPTED

Charlie is an adorable 3 year old neutered male Border Collie mix surrendered to the shelter in late April. What a sweet little boy! Charlie is truly a lap dog and would be content just snuggling in and being close. He may have never been on a leash in his previous life, because he cries sometimes and seems so confused on his leash walks. Therefore a very gentle hand and a patient new owner will be best for this sweet boy. He even gives kisses, so we know he'll be a wonderful addition to a new family, he'll just need time to adjust! Charlie has previously lived well with other dogs and cats. He may do best in a home without small children.
