NEXT EVENT:

Volunteers will be having “Meet and Greets” at the shelter every Saturday from 9:00 am until noon.  If you would like to check out some nice adoptable shelter animals, this is the perfect time.  If you’re not really looking for a pet, but would like to help, this would be a good time to donate any dog or puppy food and cat or kitten food.

Fosters for shelter animals are desperately needed.  If you would like to have a pet, but really don’t want to make a lifetime commitment, try fostering.  It’s a win, win for you and the animal.

Volunteers are needed to help with cleaning and caring for the animals.  Stop in on Saturday and get signed up to help the animals.

Donations for dog, puppy, cat and kitten food are always appreciated for the shelter animals.

The shelter is a “kill” shelter.  When at full capacity, animals are killed to make room for the new ones.  Adopting from the shelter could save the life of a great pet.

If you have lost your pet be sure to check this page frequently.

Animals that are currently at the shelter:

Trudie is a sweet little 2 year old 35 pound Border Collie Mix. She is quick , agile and is very submissive. Listens well, and is very loving. Great on the leash and handles and combs out very well. A gorgeous sweet natured dog.  A very gentle dog.

Mollye is an Australian Shepherd mix who is very close to being a red Merle. She is five years old, and weighs about 40 pounds, she is a surrender and has been spayed already. Lovely personality, easy walk, great with people, gentle and handles well. Gorgeous dog. Mollye has a sister who is going to be surrendered also, same litter same coloring.

Nellie is a yellow lab mix who looks to be about 14-16 months old, and weighs about 50 pounds or so. A people lover and gets along fine with other dogs, and shows no cat aggression. She is an energetic girl who is all over the place, except on a short leash, with which she walks very well. Just a young, energetic girl who is sweet and tolerant of everything.

McGee and Abbie I believe are brother and sister and were abandoned at the pound. Both very good dogs. McGee is bigger at about 55 pounds, is only about 14-16 months old, is a coon hound mix, and has about a half tail which wags all the time. Great with people, easily handled and walks on a leash. He is just a big sweet youngster.

Abbie is McGee’s sister and is a bit smaller at 45 pounds, but is the same age at 14-16 months, She too is easygoing and loves people. Submissive and handsome, she too is a coonhound mix. Abbie could use a bit more work on the leash, but she will learn quickly as she wants only to please!

Aubree is a year old small female beagle at about 20 pounds. She is just adorable and has those so very expressive eyes. Walks on a leash, you can pick her up and carry her around, and allows you to easily do anything that is needed with her. Just a caution on this little girl is that she can really climb! A real cutie, fine with dogs, cats and people.

Halle Bee is a 7 month old coon hound mix, who is s sweet and submissive little girl. Doing very well on a leash, very soft fur, and that great hound personality. Loves other dogs, and just wants to please her person. She is about 25 pounds now, but will probably mature a bit bigger. Loving little dog.

Shasta is a larger (taller) possibly Doberman, hound mix who has all the personality of a hound. A younger girl at about 14-20 months, she is a sweet heart, gets along fine with all the dogs, and no problem with cats at all. A big sweet submissive youngster who is a great walk when you ask her to be, and will do anything for a treat. She is very trainable, has a ton of personality, and has those wonderful expressive eyes. Would be a wonderful family pet as she has proven to be good with smaller children too!

Sterling is a 6 month old, 38 pound, buff/blue Staffordshire Terrier mix female. Very sweet and trusting  dog who has been spayed and is UTD on vaccinations. Walks well on a leash and has been around other dogs and cats and gets along well with all of them. A beautiful young dog.

Miranda looks to be a lab, setter mix who is white, buff and buff ticked. She has those gorgeous yellow eyes. She is about one year old and will weigh about 40 pounds. She is sweet and gentle, and is submissive toward other dogs. She has been around other dogs, and cats and will have no problem with them. She walks well on a leash, and just squirms to be petted. She too is spayed and UTD on vaccinations.

Devo is a pit/boxer mix who is short of stature and weighs about 40 pounds. He appears to be about 14-18 months old. He has had no problem with any of the dogs at the shelter and gets along well with all he has been tested with. He looks at the cat, but does not appear to be interested in it at all. He definitely has that underbite of a boxer and the brindle markings too. A pretty nice dog who is a real talker! Nice fellow!

Stitch appears to be a 14-16 month old springer spaniel mix with just over a half tail and beautiful markings. She is a fine boned girl who weighs about 27 pounds. Does fine on a leash and listens well. She is a medium high to high energy dog who likes people and seems to like kids too!

Coon hound mix pup, Brewster, is under a year old..nice guy, good manners plays with other puppies and walks well on a leash.

Sonny is about 48 pounds and 10 months old. He will walk well on a leash, likes a lot of attention, and tries to get it by jumping on you. He will listen, and is a real people lover too. He too is good with other dogs when introduced correctly. A lot of potential in both these guys.

Chantilly is a young, ( maybe 9 months) yellow lab, terrier mix who weighs about 32 pounds, and is just a sweet pretty dog. She seems to be good around children and is great with adults and other dogs, as she is housed with Gypsy the Basset Hound. She just began her leash training last night and was walking pretty well on the return trip. A little girl who just wants to be with people! Chantilly can leave on Tuesday Feb. 21.

Whitney is a 18 month old coonhound who is as sweet as she is beautiful. Healthy at about 60 pounds, she handles well, walks on a leash and is smiling all the time. Good with other dogs, large and small. A true sweetheart.,, with a heart of gold!

Diesel is a Pit bull mix who has become a sweet and mellow man. Thin at 50 pounds (maybe) he walks very well on a leash and listens very well. Introduces to other dogs, even little ones pretty well and has shown no problems to us at all. Superb potential in this 18mth – 2 year old beautifully dusted, brindle dog.

Lebron is a very thin shepherd mix who has those very intense, and questioning eyes. This guy probably only weighs about 38 pounds and should be much heavier…his demeanor is improving with his weight and trust level and he now knows how to introduce and interact with the other dogs. Sweet tempered and very tolerant of anything that comes his way with you, he has gotten very good on a leash. A work in progress, but we believe he is well on his way to being a “balanced” guy.

Taylor is a beautiful Sharpei mix who is a wonderful people dog. She picks and chooses those she accepts and will immediately act as your protector if allowed. She listens well, and has no objections to being handled any way. Will do better with equal size male dogs, rather than female. Sturdy at about 60 pounds, she appears to be about 1 1/2 – 2 years old. REALLy a people dog.

Beamer..(because he does just beam at you!) is a smaller 38 pound Beagle mix male, all red and white with near yellow eyes. He is an older guy at about 7-8 years old, but he is a young 7..active, happy, loving and a good walk. He is always ready to play with people, and is good with other animals. A nice Mature dog.
