Meet Summit, the energetic and adventurous young dog who is ready to bring boundless joy and excitement into your life!
Summit is our shelter's very own "wild child who lives for the thrill of running, playing, and making friends with every resident dog! Summit is a true bundle of energy, and he is currently working hard on his obedience training to become the most outstanding doggy citizen! He is looking for a family who is committed to helping him reach his full potential and provide the guidance he needs to thrive.
One thing that really gets Summit's tail-wagging is food!
He is highly treat motivated, which makes him a quick learner during training sessions. His love for treats also makes him a great candidate for further crate training and recall exercises! With a little bit of patience and consistency, Summit will master these skills in no time!
But what Summit desires most is a family who will take him on amazing adventures. He longs to explore the great outdoors, hike through scenic trails, and experience the world with his loved ones by his side. With his energetic spirit and love for exploration, Summit will make every outing an unforgettable experience!
If you're ready to embark on an exciting journey with a furry companion who will keep you on your toes, Summit is the dog for you. He is waiting patiently for a family who will embrace his wild side, shower him with love, and provide him with the guidance he needs to become the best version of himself!

Over 1,100 animals pass through our doors every year. Did you know that the average cost to get our animals ready to be adoptable is roughly $350 per animal? That is because we require our adoptables to be spayed/neutered and fully vaccinated before adopting out.
Population control and disease management are issues in our community that we are working hard to resolve. Your donations help ensure we can continue our mission.
We have an amazing team of hard working staff caring for our animals 7 days a week. They are supported by a group of engaged board members that are focused on bettering our organization.
