Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sven the Great Dane is becoming the dog he was meant to be. He’s still a youngster, we think around 12 months. He’s a very happy, healthy boy. Sven enjoys his long walks. He has so much fun chasing a ball and the secret is to have multiple balls in hand - that’s because Sven knows how to bring the ball back, drop it and wait for the next ball to be thrown. He may also be overly interested in small furry creatures. We think Sven is just a great all round boy. He has so many wonderful qualities, the best of which is he’s a leaner and a snuggler.   November 16, 2024, 5:27 pm

Say hello to Cheerios, a two-year-old Husky mix who's here to add a little crunch to your morning routine! This handsome boy found his way to us as a stray and, sadly, his previous family didn't come to claim him. But he's looking forward to becoming the most important part of your day! Cheerios is a people person, er, pup through and through and is great with adults and sturdy kiddos alike. He's also got a friendly, balanced blend with other dogs, but we're not entirely sure if he pairs well with felines just yet. Ready to make every day a little brighter with Cheerios by your side?November 7, 2024, 1:00 pm
