ADOPTABLE DOGS

XENA 6 year old female GSD. We cannot say enough about this girl she is so affectionate and kind. She loves very deeply and awards you with kisses. She walks incredibly on leash. Has great recall but Does not like other dogs so must be your one and only pet in the home. We recommend a home that is experienced with the breed.

LUCY is a 2.5 year old female Great Pyrenese. She came to us with her brother Max. They are a bonded pair so we prefer they be adopted together. They would need a fenced in yard as they tend to roam. They enjoy being outside but prefer to spend some time in the house around people as they both are VERY affectionate. They would spend the entire day at your side getting pets. LUCY does not like dogs other than her brother so she would need an owner mindful of that.

Joker is a seven year old great pyrenese mix. He is a very calm and affectionate boy who came to us with 13 others. We have spent the past several months giving him all the love and comforts we can provide. Joker will be an incredible companion for someone who lives a quiet life.

Max is a 4 year old male Great Pyrenese. He is Bonded with his sister Lucy. Max and Lucy came to us when their owner could no longer care for them. He is a gentle giant LOVES everyone, is amazing with children and loves soft comfy things. Max has been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Disease and will need to be fed a prescription diet and take steroids for the rest of his life. He is so worth the extra things he needs to make sure he stays healthy. He and Lucy prefer to be in a warm cozy home than outside. They do not like the cold or rain. Max is terrified of loud noises(thunder, fireworks, gunshots, loud vehicles). Dont let his size fool you he thinks he is a lap dog and will come lay his head in your lap for some cuddles every chance he gets.

We are accepting applications for Otis for an undetermined amount of time. Otis is a one year old blue heeler. He is the sweetest boy, loves everyone and soaks up all the cuddles he can get. He does need to build some confidence as he is a bit timid. Otis will be having surgery to remove a bone fragment in his right forearm and will be ready for adoption once he is healed. Otis deserves to live a life full of love and comfort.

Buttercup is a 4 year old female Pit mix. She came to us from animal control after being picked up as a stray and never claimed. She is such a good girl, loves to take walks, play outside get all the cuddles and is so sweet. She is not doing well in the shelter as being in a kennel surrounded by loud noises is giving her anxiety. She needs to get her out of the shelter and into a loving home. Buttercup does have allergies to just about everything(we had testing done and the list is long) She is being treated with allergy injections and getting introduced to allergens to desensitize her in hopes that she wont need the injections forever. She is on a prescription diet as well as the allergy injections.

Clyde is one of our Hospice dogs. Life has not been kind to him. He has an injury at some point which resulted in vertebral fractures. He has severe arthritis surrounding his spine. He came to us in alot of pain, he can only walk short distances and has a difficult time maneuvering over obstacles. That being said he has never once showed aggression he is the SWEETEST boy ever. He loves to be hugged, gives the best nose boops and will snuggle his nose into your chest and melt into you. He gives the biggest hello tail wags and smiles. He is being managed under our veterinarian's care with pain medications, regular bloodwork and limited activity. We are doing everything we can to make sure he knows he is loved and make him feel safe and comfortable.

Dean is an 11 month old male pug beagle mix. He came to us when his owner could no longer care for him. He is full of puppy energy but he also does enjoy sitting and observing all of the activity around him. He loves to play outside and gets the zoomies all the time. Dean loves walks and is amazing on leash. He has the most adorable smoosh face and the cutest little tail wag that makes his whole butt wiggle. We just love his underbite and think it makes him even more handsome. Dean would love to have a home where he can run and play.
