Have you ever seen anything cuter than this?! Buddy loves to show off his dancing skills for a yummy treat! Both him and Barney are Jack Russel Terrier brothers, 3 years old, who need to be adopted together. They are truly perfect boys! Great with other pets and kids, neutered, up to date on vaccines, and very well behaved🐶❤️ Learn more about them or schedule an appointment to meet them on our website!

Vanellope is such a playful girl who lights up any room she enters!✨ If you’re looking for a pup to make you laugh, she’s your girl. As soon as someone meets Vanellope, they instantly have a smile on their face! She would love a home to help keep her active and get her energy out. Vanellope is looking for a special home with no children or other animals, as she resource guards. She has been doing well with training at the shelter, but needs a home that will continue training and having boundaries with her. This goofy girl walks great on the leash, rides well in the car, loves fetch, and is a joy to be around❤️ Learn more about Vanellope or schedule an appointment to meet her on our website!

Meet sweet little 4 month old RayRay🤍 If you’re looking for a kitty to complete your family, look no more! RayRay is your guy. This handsome boy is absolutely wonderful with people and children, adores other cats (so much so, that we would prefer him to go to a home that already has a cat), and would do great with dogs. RayRay is playful, affectionate, vocal about his dinner time, and is all around a perfect guy. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. Learn more about RayRay or schedule an appointment to meet him on our website!🐱

Reminder ALL ADOPTION FEES are 50% off until December 20th! Let’s find RayRay a home for the holidays!🎄

Just a husky doing what huskies do best! Hopper would love to find an active home to take him on all of the jogs, hikes, and walks he could ever want. He does very well on the leash. This sweet boy is your typical husky; loud, talkative, loves to sing, and loves to argue with you. Don’t bother asking him to come inside when there’s snow on the ground…he won’t! Hopper does very well with children of all ages and does great with dogs, just needs a home with no cats. Let’s find Hopper a home for the holidays!🐶🎄

Happy National Mutt Day!🐶
Here’s to the quirky ears, unique markings, and lovable personalities that make mixed-breed dogs so special. If you’ve got a mixed breed at home, give them an extra treat today, they’ve earned it!

If you’re looking to add a new furry friend to your home, consider adopting a shelter dog! We may not always know what breed mixes they are, but we think that just makes them extra special❤️
