Story
Bibi is very sweet and extremely friendly. She loves the outdoors but also loves to be inside the home. She has never slept outside a day in her life and has always been an indoor baby. Bibi is very playful, happy and full of energy shes trained to go out and do her duties on grass or anywhere but the inside of a home. She is chipped, all vaccines up to date and I do have the paperwork from when we purchased her. Allergies are quite common for her around the summer. Every 3 months Bibi receives a Cytopoint shot that helps with her itchiness, helping her feel at ease. Bibi is full of life and ready for a second chance at life.

Story
Millie was adopted 2 months ago. She is a 3 year old mix possibly red Heeler. She gets along well with our other 3 dogs but is selective with humans. She is a very loving girl and will be an excellent lap dog with the right human. She can be timid/anxious at times and has only taken to my husband, daughter and myself but not my son. It is because of this we must rehome her. She would mostly likely be best in a calm environment with few humans. We do not have small children I do not know how she is around children. We do love her very much but our home is not the right home for her and we would love for her to find her forever human.

Story
Meet Obi, Obi is 7 years old, and his birthday is May 4th! Obi is a very good dog with a lot of anxiety. He loves other dogs, kids, old people, and he gets very protective over his people. He has a lot of trauma with men, so he'd take longer to warm up to one. Once he's comfortable with you, he's a very cuddly and affectionate dog. He's super chatty, and he has no problem voicing his opinions on any and everything. Obi knows his commands, and is a pretty good listener as long as you have a treat in your hand. Obi is potty trained, and sings you the song of his people when he needs to go out. Obi and I moved into an apartment earlier this year, and he and I quickly discovered that he is NOT an apartment dog. Obi would not do well with small pets (like birds or rodents) as he has a strong prey drive.

Story
Olivia is a one of a kind pup! She has Myotonia Congenita (otherwise known as fainting goat syndrome), but she doesn’t let it stop her from chasing her donuts! Her condition isn’t debilitating at all, but she is a little stiff. Sometimes when she’s startled or excited she’ll fall over, but she gets right back up! She is on a special food and medication for her condition. Despite her stiff posture, she can run very fast! She’s OBSESSED with her donut toys and loves to play fetch with them daily! She is a weird pup, but she’s got an amazing personality! She is the smartest dog I’ve ever known and she LOVES attention! Her condition has caused her to have large neck muscles, so she has trouble breathing when she over-exerts herself. That’s why we only play fetch for five minutes at a time. She will persevere through anything, she is a determined girl! She is three years old and spayed. We have her Embark DNA results to share. @myotonia_olivia on Instagram

Story
Meet, Gamora! A 2 year old, female, Bully mix. Gamora loves to play! Her favorite toys have squeakers in them but, if you give her a stuffed to she will shred it in record time! LOL She enjoys being brushed and petted, she will even lay like a frog so you can do a good job brushing her. Gamora loves to play in water so baby pools are a must as she likes to cool off in them and take her toys for a swim too! Gamora can be timid with new faces and once she is with you a short while she warms up pretty quickly! She would do best in a home with older children 16 and up as she can be too rough when she plays. Gamora needs to be your one and only pet as she does not do well with other animals so no going to the dog park with this one. Gamora needs a home with a 6 foot tall fenced yard as she is very athletic and can and will easily jump over a small fence being energetic she needs plenty exercise to run and play. She is crate trained so when you leave her alone you will need to crate her as she will be naughty while you are gone! Being a smart girl Gamora knows how to sit by verbal command or hand gesture. She can stand, lay down and is learning to go to her bed by and gesture too. Gamora is now ready to find her loving FUR-ever home. For more information on how to adopt, please call the shelter to see if this pet is still available for adoption. Then come to the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 10:30-6 Tuesday – Saturday (closed 1-2 for lunch and the last Friday of every month).
