Last week, our sweet Domino had the honor of breaking out of the shelter and spending time in a home environment 🏠 This is what our amazing volunteer, Kristy, had to say: "Domino was a total gentleman in my house. A little anxious to start but very familiar with the great indoors; television on, dishwasher doing its thing, sneakers loudly tumbling in the dryer - Domino was unfazed. He showed no real interest in exploring or getting on the furniture. I coaxed him on the couch for a glamour shot, but he preferred the floor. He sniffed my girl's bed and toys but no attempt to make claim. We went on a short walk where Domino met several strangers (men and woman), and he was perfect - agreed to head pats but kept moving." 💙

If you're interested in meeting this handsome 6-year-old German Shepherd, come on into our shelter during our open adoption hours Friday-Sunday from 11-4

August Takeover Tuesday! 🎉

The moment a rainstorm drifts away, August here comes alive! Bounding over to the biggest water puddle he can find, this pup gets the silliest zoomies while diving in. August has no shame in how dirty he may get, as all he cares about is the fun he endures! To him, the world becomes a little bit better and full of magic after the rain. To you, the world becomes much lighter and full of laughter witnessing August play to his heart’s desire! 🌧️

Meet Kahlua, the vibrant 1 year old female Terrier mix seeking her forever home. This 10.6 pound pooch is full of energy and ready to take on the world! Kahlua is the personal trainer you've been needing in your life, and with her energy, you'll need to get on her level. She is a huge fan of running zoomies, playing fetch, and leaping through the air. Aside from always being a part of the action, Kahlua also enjoys snuggling up close to her humans and giving sweet kisses. She can be an independent pup at times, so don't expect cuddle time 24/7! Kahlua would thrive in a home with an active family who will provide her with lots of exercise, as well as playtime to ensure she stays one happy, healthy girl. If you're ready to welcome a little bundle of energy into your home, then adorable Kahlua here may be your perfect match! (She also LOVES other dogs!!)

Meet Daisie, the gorgeous 6 year old female Border Collie mix seeking her forever home. This 48.2 pound pooch is happy-go-lucky, snuggly, and downright adorable! Daisie was surrendered to us due to no fault of her own, and now she's ready to start a new adventure with someone. She is the sweetest girl that thrives on human affection, and everyone she meets is happily greeted with a wagging tail, as well as a happy smile! Daisie has energy but isn't hyper- she's the perfect mix of playful and laid-back. She loves car rides, receiving attention, treats, toys, and peanut butter (of course). Polite and smart, this pup is hard not to fall in love with! Daisie also has great house manners and is potty trained, as well as crate trained. She has previously lived with children, cats, and other dogs, so if you have any of these in your home, she'd be ecstatic for some siblings- two legged or four legged!

Sugar Spice is lying here pondering why no one has chosen her. Calm presence? Sweet demeanor? Playful nature? These all describe this gorgeous feline quite perfectly! Sugar is the perfect cat, yet every weekend she is passed up, because the small, adorable kittens she shares the room with appeal more to most. It's time to look past the babies with endless energy that will get into trouble and instead look for the mature cat with an astounding personality! Believe us...1 year old Sugar Spice will brighten your life in the best possible way 🐱🩷
