Halo® Collars depend on inconsistent satellite signals and daily battery charging. A professionally installed DogWatch® Hidden Fence provides an unchanging boundary and long battery life you can count on — day after day, year after year.

Our Pet Food Pantry has become so important to the community that, in the first 6 months of this year, we have already distributed 1500lbs more food than we did for the entire year of 2025! Our dog food donations have been keeping pace with demand, but unfortunately, we can’t say the same for CAT FOOD (kibble) because OUR SHELVES ARE BARE! If you would like to support our efforts to keep pets in our community fed, please visit our Amazon wish list, or drop off ANY CAT or dog kibble… any brand, any flavor, any size. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1MDXN4DIE862L?ref_=wl_share

Ruffles, 3 years, is an adorable Shepherd mix that loves other dogs her size. Ruffles arrived stray with her brothers/sons? and all are still looking for their forever homes. Ruffles is an active girl that would do well with an active family. She is crate trained, submissive to humans, loves to run and speaking of running, given the chance she is GONE. Ruffles can be quite the escape artist, able to open doors if not locked, if there is a way to get over or under or through the fence, she's outta there. It is not that she does not love her humans, she's just ready to explore the world. Ruffles would do well with children, parents just need to teach them to watch when they open doors. We do believe she would be best in a cat free and small dog free home. Ruffles is enjoying an overnight but will be back at the shelter for adoption and viewing tomorrow between noon and 4.
