Featured Pets of the Week

The adoption process is one all parties must take seriously. We work hard to place the right animal in the right home and because of this, the process may take up to 72 hours from the time you submit your application. We do check references, but once you are approved, the process moves very quickly and you'll be invited out to see the animals. Most of our communication, after the time you submit an application, is done via email so please make sure you check your email account frequently and respond quickly.  To see all available pets in need, please see our Available Pets. 

Featured Dog of the Week

Spirit / Spuds 

This beautiful boy is a year old male who has had a bit a of rough time, being found after being hit by a car then getting stuck in some barbed wire which was wrapped around his leg, unfortunately it had to be amputated.  Spirit doesn't let his loss of a leg stop him for a minute.  He lives with 6 other dogs of varies breeds and sizes and is great with all of them. He even is submissive to the black dog in the picture (see more of his pictures on the available pets page) and lets him clean his ears. He likes cats and is house trained. Some of his favorite things are, being the center of attention, chew toys, treats. Spirit is a very smart boy. Fully vetted.  Needs home ASAP!  For more information about Spirit, please complete our Online Application.
