SHILOH has been waiting for a home for about a year & a half because he is so shy. In the office around our staff, he jumps up on the chair next to you or lays down for a belly rub. But, when someone new is in the room, he keeps to himself. He'll watch & you can tell he really wants to venture over but he is just too bashful. His fur is so soft!
It is our hopes that someone who's watching for a pup to adopt will give a call to come spend lots of time with SHILOH. You're just going to have to make multiple visits until he decides to sit next to you. It just breaks our hearts to see what an awesome dog he is who keeps getting overlooked only because he's reserved. Whoever finally puts the time into getting to know SHILOH is going to be one lucky dog owner!

He is a really good boy about 5 years old. He's good on a walk.
Adoption only $100.

Please CALL with any questions or to make an appointment to come visit.

Didn't take LEGEND long to feel content on his first walk with Tawny. Almost every Sunday, Tawny comes for a few hours to walk dogs. She just gets the one who's turn is next & hasn't had the chance to walk with LEGEND... until today.
When the staff brought him out, she ecstatically said," I get to walk LEGEND!" The staff walked a bit with them & they soon were off on their own. LEGEND has been at the shelter for a while so he needs someone who will make several visits so he can get to know you before he can go to a home.
He is about 4 years old, knows how to sit, give both paws, & lay down.
Please CALL with any questions or to set up an appointment to come visit.
We never pressure anyone to adopt.
Adoption only $100!
Thank you!

SCARLETT is such a sweet girl with a wonderful personality. She is about 2 years old. She is great on a walk but when there's extra time, she really enjoys jumping up on the bench under the pavilion & "hanging out" a while with whomever is walking her. Your cares of the world seem to melt away when you are sitting with SCARLETT.

Adoption only $100. All our pups are up-to-date on shots, microchipped, & spayed/neutered.

ZEKE - this picture captures his longing for a loving home but he is so afraid of being let down again. It's heartbreaking when the only place he feels content is in his kennel surrounded by all the barking & he won't venture too far on a walk. ZEKE is such a gently soul but is so very shy. ZEKE is waiting for that special someone who will come spend time with him until he gets to know you & trusts that you will love him forever. He really wants to be loved & has no idea how much better a home will be than the shelter. He needs a home with NO CATS.
ZEKE is 2-1/2 approximately 58 lbs.
All our pups are up-to-date with shots and micro-chipped, neutered/spayed. Adoption only $100.
Please CALL with any questions or to make an appointment to come visit.
