Our dogs are loving the opportunity to explore outside of the shelter and meet new people in the community. You can see it on their smiling or curious faces! Enjoy some sweet photos of some sweet dogs available for adoption. Marcus, Tobler, Esha, Fjord, and Marley. Click through to meet each of them!

As of today, all of these dogs are available for adoption. But hopefully not for long, if you can help us find their families. If you ever want to check an animal’s status, you can do so on our website, or stop by the shelter to say “hi” to everyone here.

Both of these boys are just 6 years old! They did great with children as young as five years old, dogs, and other cats! Making them quite the well-rounded pair. As you can see, they almost look like twins! The only way staff are able to tell them apart (besides microchips of course) is that Quill is wearing a collar! They love affection and will be sure to greet you at the door when you come home from work to give you headbutts. They enjoy playing with a wand toy as well, but tends to prefer affection over fun.
